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. These upgrades come with a higher price tag than expected. While upgrading The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom from the original Switch to the Switch 2 costs $9.99, both Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Super Mario Party Jamboree will cost more than double that amount. Although precise U.S. prices are not yet available on the American Nintendo eShop, the UK Nintendo eShop lists the upgrade pack for £16.99 / €19.99, significantly more than the £7.99 / €9.99 charged for the Zelda titles.

Switch 2: Game-Key Cards?

It has been revealed that most physical third-party Nintendo Switch 2 games in Japan are Game-Key Cards, and a similar trend is emerging in 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. We've identified only four third-party physical Switch 2 games that 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 the opportunity to preview 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 team had to say:

Donkey Kong Bananza: "I also think Bananza is on track to be one of the most visually stunning Nintendo games I’ve seen. It truly leverages the Switch 2's hardware – the environments are breathtaking, and DK’s animations are wonderfully expressive. 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 significant additions to the franchise, the visuals are stunning, the gameplay is a blast, and we can’t wait to play more, even if we wish it was a few dollars cheaper."
