Switch 2 Game Prices Revealed by Nintendo
Nintendo has revealed pricing details for upgrading two additional Switch titles—Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Super Mario Party Jamboree—to their Switch 2 versions, and the costs are surprisingly steep.
While The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom cost $9.99 each for upgrades from Switch to Switch 2 editions, NintendoLife reports that both Kirby and Super Mario Party upgrades cost more than double that price.
The Nintendo Switch 2 Enhanced Edition of Breath of the Wild features enhanced graphics and performance, achievements, and compatibility with Nintendo Switch Online's new "Zelda Notes" service. Current owners must purchase a separate $10 upgrade pack to access these features.
The Switch 2 version of Kirby and the Forgotten Land includes new Star-Crossed World story content. Super Mario Party Jamboree's Switch 2 Edition offers Jamboree TV features—designed for Joy-Con 2 motion controls, Switch 2 microphone, and the optional USB-C camera—along with 1440p TV resolution, improved frame rates, additional minigames, and enhanced online functionality.
Although U.S. pricing hasn't been officially confirmed—potentially due to uncertainty regarding tariffs—the UK Nintendo eShop lists Kirby's upgrade at £16.99/€19.99, over double the £7.99/€9.99 charged for Zelda upgrades.
Super Mario Party Jamboree's Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV upgrade carries the same premium pricing, suggesting a likely $19.99 U.S. price point.
This $20 upgrade fee correlates with the $79.99 standalone pricing for both Kirby and Super Mario Party Switch 2 editions—$20 above their original $59.99 Switch versions.
Here's the U.S. pricing structure for new Switch 2 Edition purchases:
Kirby and The Forgotten Land - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star Crossed World - $79.99
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - $69.99
Super Mario Party Jamboree - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV - $79.99
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - $79.99
Notably, Nintendo Switch Online subscribers receive Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom upgrades at no additional cost—a benefit currently unavailable for Kirby or Super Mario Party upgrades.
Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders launched today (April 24) at $449.99, experiencing expected high demand. The company has cautioned U.S. customers that My Nintendo Store pre-orders may not guarantee launch day delivery due to overwhelming interest.
