Nintendo has quietly disclosed the upgrade costs for transitioning from original Switch games to the Switch 2 editions. Upgrading The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will set you back $9.99. However, Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Super Mario Party Jamboree will cost more than double that amount. Although U.S. prices are not yet finalized on the American Nintendo eShop, the UK Nintendo eShop indicates an upgrade cost of £16.99 / €19.99, compared to £7.99 / €9.99 for the Zelda titles.

Switch 2: Game-Key Cards?

A notable trend emerging in Japan and the West is the use of Game-Key Cards for third-party Switch 2 games. In the US, Sega's titles like Sonic X Shadow Generations and Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut are available as Game-Key Cards. However, not all third-party games follow this format; 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 are among the few that offer physical copies.

Switch 2 Game Previews
