    70€ for an 8 year old game. And they don’t include the DLC. Nintendo.

        It would not be a sale to include the DLC on the Switch 2 version. I mean are they gonna offer it on the Switch 2 store? lmao

          Yeah, it’s the same price. Right now if you want BOTW on the Switch it costs $60 for the game and $20 for the DLC. On the Switch 2 it will be $70 for the game and $20 for the DLC. If you already own the game on the Switch it’s $10 to upgrade (or free with NSO). Basically they’re just charging an optional $10 for the enhanced graphics. You can still play the original version on the Switch 2 at no extra cost.

    If I remember correctly, I got Red Dead 1 to play on my Xbox one x (god I hate their naming scheme) and not only did the disc actually contain all the game data, it would also still function if I put it into a 360, and on top of that, my one x downloaded graphical patches and textures automatically FOR FREE. Even Microsoft did a better job about backwards compatibility (after eating a humble pie on the Xbox one launch disaster). Anyway dont buy Nintendo products. Nintendo bad.

      nintendo isn’t out here murdering puppies or trying to get people disappeared. disagree with their business practices all you want but it’s not like they have a gun to your head. this “nintendo bad” narrative just because people are mad the the pricing structure is juvenile.

      EDIT: yall can stay big mad and downvote like you won’t just eventually buy the stupid thing anyway. lol. have fun.

    Of course it doesn’t. Nintendo would never pass up a chance to squeeze more money out of its customers

    I think that sums up that they’re aiming only for parents with kids that would pay ransom for their products.

    Aren’t they just saying that if you don’t own the DLC, the upgrade won’t add it?

        That’s not fucking true. It’s $70 if you don’t own it for switch 1, $10 if you own the switch 1 version, and free if you own the switch 1 version and pay for Nintendo’s online membership. If you own the dlc for switch 1, you can play it on switch 2, if not it’s $20

    Why would one of the greediest companies around pass up an opportunity to make more money? They know they won’t lose sales.

    The question is, will Nintendo Accounts (the thing Nintendo made so you didn’t have to get a new type of account with every damn console) that already have the DLC be able to use it on the Switch 2 with the Switch 2 version of the game?

    Technically, there shouldn’t be any meaningful reason why not. Aren’t the Switch 2 versions just asset upgrades? Maybe a wee bit of coding to adapt the existing software to newer hardware. So if they’re smart they’ll say “Yes.”

    The best reason for a no would be that Nintendo will not have yet updated the assets that are included in the DLC. Meaning people who own the DLC would get to use them at a later date when the teams doing these ports have time to get to them.

    The worst reason to say no would be “Buy them again, cucks.”
