How Much to Upgrade Switch Games to Switch 2 Edition?

Nintendo has confirmed the upgrade costs for two more Switch games to their Switch 2 editions: Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Super Mario Party Jamboree. Upgrading from the original Switch versions of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will cost $9.99, but Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Super Mario Party Jamboree upgrades will be more than double that price. While precise U.S. prices are yet to be confirmed on the American Nintendo eShop, the UK Nintendo eShop lists the upgrade at £16.99 / €19.99, compared to £7.99 / €9.99 for Zelda upgrades.

Switch 2: Game-Key Cards?

Recent reports indicate that nearly all physical third-party Nintendo Switch 2 games 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. So far, only four third-party physical Switch 2 games have been confirmed to not be 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 of which are available for preorder starting today. Here are the impressions from Brian Altano and Logan Plant:

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."
