For those looking to accessorize their new system, we’ve also got you covered. If you want to outfit your brand-new Switch 2 with the new Joy-Con 2, Switch 2 Pro controllers, a camera, and more, today is the perfect time to shop.
How Much to Upgrade Switch Games to Switch 2 Edition?
Nintendo has quietly confirmed the cost of upgrading two more Switch games from the OG Switch edition to the Switch 2: Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Super Mario Party Jamboree. They’re not inexpensive.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will cost $9.99 to upgrade from the original Switch 1 game to Switch 2. However, Nintendo Life and Eurogamer have noted that both Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Super Mario Party Jamboree will cost significantly more—over twice the price of the Zelda upgrades.
While precise U.S. prices remain unavailable due to potential tariff complications, the UK Nintendo eShop lists the upgrade pack for £16.99 / €19.99, more than double the £7.99 / €9.99 charged for upgrading Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.

So far, we’ve found just 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.
