For those looking to enhance their Switch 2 experience, we've also got you covered with new accessories. Today is the perfect day to add the new Joy-Con 2, Switch 2 Pro controllers, a camera, and more to your cart.

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 are not cheap. 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. Although precise U.S. prices 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 upgrading Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.

Switch 2: Game-Key Cards?

It has been revealed that nearly all 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. So far, we've identified only four third-party physical Switch 2 games that aren't 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 go hands-on 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 Brian Altano and Logan Plant had to say about these exciting new games.

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."
