"Nintendo Clarifies: Switch 2 Games Include Game and Upgrade on Cart"
Nintendo has provided clarity on the contents of Switch 2 Edition games, confirming that these games will include both the original game and its upgrade on the cartridge. This clarification comes after initial confusion sparked by customer service comments suggesting otherwise. In a statement to Vooks, Nintendo explained that while most Switch 2 Edition games will come on a single game card, some publishers might opt to include only a download code within the physical packaging.
Here's the official statement from Nintendo:
"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."
Priced at $79.99, the Switch 2 Edition games include titles like Kirby and The Forgotten Land - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star Crossed World, Super Mario Party Jamboree - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV, and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition. These editions offer enhancements over their original Switch counterparts. For instance, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom now feature additional support for the Zelda Notes service within the Nintendo Switch App, providing game assistance and introducing achievements on Switch 2.

Nintendo has also confirmed that certain Switch 2 game cards will not contain the actual game but will instead provide a download key. These game-key cards are physical cards that only include a code to download the game, requiring a download upon insertion into the Switch 2. The packaging for these game-key cards will be clearly labeled on the front lower section, ensuring consumers know exactly what they are purchasing.
Games such as Street Fighter 6 and the Bravely Default remaster feature this game-key card disclaimer, whereas Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza do not. Notably, Cyberpunk 2077, which occupies 64 GB on the Nintendo Switch 2, is included on a physical cartridge.
