How Much to Upgrade Switch Games to Switch 2 Edition?

Nintendo has confirmed the cost of upgrading two more Switch games to the Switch 2 edition: Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Super Mario Party Jamboree. These upgrades come at a higher price than expected. While upgrading The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom costs $9.99, both Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Super Mario Party Jamboree will cost more than double that amount. Although exact US prices are not yet available on the American Nintendo eShop, the UK Nintendo eShop lists the upgrade at £16.99 / €19.99, significantly higher than the £7.99 / €9.99 for Zelda upgrades.

Switch 2: Game-Key Cards?

Recent developments have shown that most physical third-party Nintendo Switch 2 games revealed so far in Japan are Game-Key Cards, and this trend seems to be extending to the West. In the US, Sega's Switch 2 games, such as Sonic X Shadow Generations and Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut, are listed as Game-Key Cards. Out of the third-party titles announced, only four are not Game-Key Cards: Cyberpunk 2077, Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion, Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma, and No Sleep For Kaname Date - From AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES Aiba Edition.

Switch 2 Game Previews

IGN recently had hands-on experience with two of the most anticipated Switch 2 launch titles, Donkey Kong Bananza and Mario Kart World, both available for preorder now. Here's what our reviewers had to say:

Donkey Kong Bananza: "I also think Bananza is on track to be one of the most gorgeous Nintendo games I’ve seen. It really does take advantage of Switch 2's hardware – the environments are beautiful and DK’s animations are wonderfully expressive, and I left feeling like the next generation of first-party Nintendo games had truly arrived."

Mario Kart World: "Mario Kart World feels like the definitive Switch 2 launch game and will certainly be one of the defining games of the Switch 2 generation. The new open world format and Knockout Tour modes are massive new additions to the franchise, the visuals are gorgeous, the gameplay is a blast, and we can’t wait to play more, even if we wish it was a few bucks cheaper."
