That physical versions of Nintendo Switch 2 Edition games will include the original Nintendo Switch game and its upgrade pack all on the same game card (i.e. they are exclusively Nintendo Switch 2 game cards, with no download code). Alternatively, some publishers may release Nintendo Switch 2 Edition games as download codes in physical packaging, with no game card.

I haven't really been keeping up with this, seen a lot of conflicting info. Can you buy the cart for Metroid Prime 4 for Switch 2 and use it in the original Switch? Or can you only buy the Switch version and then if used in the Switch 2, get the upscaling benefits, but not any extra content?

I'm not sure about this. Maybe? The box says "includes the Nintendo Switch game", but it's not clear.

Or can you only buy the Switch version and then if used in the Switch 2, get the upscaling benefits, but not any extra content?

The upgrade pack is also available separately, either buying it or if you have Nintendo Online. The upscaling I guess comes for free for any Switch games.

It's kinda crazy to me that Nintendo would repeat the same marketing mistakes as the Wii U and release a new console with all this confusion of what games will work with which version.

At least this time around they got the naming right 😅

But yeah, publish a FAQ somewhere. I don't even want to get started on NSO and digital games for Switch 2...
