For those seeking accessories, new Joy-Con 2 controllers, Pro controllers, and other peripherals are also available for preorder.

Upgrade Costs Revealed

Nintendo has confirmed pricing for upgrading select Switch games to Switch 2 versions. While Zelda titles cost $9.99 to upgrade, Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Super Mario Party Jamboree require higher fees - currently listed at £16.99 in the UK eShop.

Game Key Cards Emerge

Physical third-party Switch 2 games in Western markets largely follow Japan's trend of using Game-Key Cards, with only a few exceptions like Cyberpunk 2077 offering traditional discs.

Hands-On Impressions

IGN previews highlight Donkey Kong Bananza as a visual showcase for Switch 2 hardware, while Mario Kart World's new open-world format promises to redefine the franchise.
