How Much to Upgrade Switch Games to Switch 2 Edition?
Nintendo has confirmed the cost of upgrading two more Switch games to their Switch 2 editions: Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Super Mario Party Jamboree. These upgrades come at a premium, with the cost being more than double that of upgrading The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, which are priced at $9.99 each. While exact U.S. prices for Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Super Mario Party Jamboree are not yet available on the American Nintendo eShop, the UK Nintendo eShop lists the upgrade pack at £16.99 / €19.99, significantly higher than the £7.99 / €9.99 charged for the Zelda upgrades.

Switch 2: Game-Key Cards?
Recent developments indicate that nearly all physical third-party Nintendo Switch 2 games revealed in Japan so far are Game-Key Cards, and a similar trend is emerging in the West. In the US, Sega's Switch 2 titles, such as Sonic X Shadow Generations and Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut, are available as Game-Key Cards. However, we've identified 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 games: Donkey Kong Bananza and Mario Kart World. Both are available for preorder from today, and here's what our team had to say about these launch titles:
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 massive 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 bucks cheaper."
