As previously mentioned, Nintendo will also release paid Switch 2 editions of certain Switch 1 games such as The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, and Super Mario Party Jamboree. These updates will be more substantial and will include new features and functionality, such as Joy-Con mouse support and even additional content.
Nintendo has not announced pricing details for these paid upgrades. However, the company confirmed that the Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom upgrade packs will be free for Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack members.
