The Nintendo Switch 2 will run Switch games with performance enhancements, but backwards compatibility will not be supported for all titles.
NE: "There have been some scattered claims going around lately saying that Nintendo is phasing out Diddy Kong, for one reason or another. If you have no idea what we’re talking about, that’s completely understandable."
Prices revealed for all Nintendo Switch 2 Upgrade Packs, coming from both Nintendo and third-parties.
I argue that simple res/FPS bumps should be free, and then you can charge $10 if it includes actual extra content. That seems to be what has been settled on.
Many PS4 games got free upgrades for PS5 when just increasing res/FPS. Days Gone, for example, got a free FPS bump to start the generation. Now it's getting a "remaster", improved visuals/extra modes/content for $10.
I know they have *some* free upgrades - though we don't know what they entail - but the Zelda games just seem like they know they can get money from eager new buyers, so why not. Zelda Notes doesn't quite seem to justify $10, but hey, let us choose. Make it a $10 app, and give the res/FPS upgrades for free.
Weird the Jamboree pack being 20 with no new boards or minigames for party mode, way to miss the mark. Minigame variety is seriously lacking for the party mode compared to superstars, my biggest issue with the game, think I'll pass on that.
I wonder if there will be supply issues (unable to find the system). Interesting that they are launching in the middle of the year as well.
SEGA confirms lack of upgrade for Sonic x Shadow Generations on Nintendo Switch 2 from Switch 1 and more.
the new Raidou game from atlus eont allow it either.
but will allow upgrading on ps4 to ps5 for free
I means it's the same company that makes you buy gold versions of games if you want the new content so it checks out.
It also means you have to buy a game key card if you want a physical copy, screwed over either way.
Fake physical. I'd be curious how many opt for that over just buying the digital copy.
It's time to wake up. Don't support this practice or the price of the games on Switch 2.
I don't know what Sega is thinking here especially when they already offer the upgrade free on PlayStation and Xbox for the same game
this right here has me sold... "Users who have Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controllers and connect them wirelessly to Nintendo Switch 2 can play these games as they would on Nintendo Switch."
I have a really nice Gamecube style pro controller for SW1 and it sounds like i can link it up to the SW2 to play those Gamecube games in style.
I was put off by this at first with how those titles are a paid upgrade and PS4 pro did it for free, but looks like you're getting some extra content at least. And it is confirmed that a some titles are getting free updates for better Switch 2 performance.
Sad they still haven't implemented achievements...
Some are free , some are paid.
