For those looking to enhance their gaming setup, we've also got you covered with Switch 2 accessories. From the new Joy-Con 2 and Switch 2 Pro controllers to a camera and more, today is the perfect day to add these to your cart.
How Much to Upgrade Switch Games to Switch 2 Edition?
Nintendo has confirmed the cost of upgrading from the original Switch to the Switch 2 for two more games: Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Super Mario Party Jamboree. These upgrades come at a higher cost than expected. Upgrading The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will cost $9.99, but Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Super Mario Party Jamboree will cost more than double that. While 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 for the Zelda titles.

Switch 2: Game-Key Cards?
It's worth noting that almost all physical third-party Nintendo Switch 2 games revealed so far 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 went hands-on with two of the most anticipated Switch 2 launch titles: Donkey Kong Bananza and Mario Kart World. Both are available for preorder now, and here's what Brian Altano and Logan Plant had to say about them.
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."
