Available for selected games, a Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is a bundle that includes the original Nintendo Switch game and its upgrade pack, which enhances the game to take advantage of the capabilities of Nintendo Switch 2.

To download the upgrade pack, please visit Nintendo eShop and redeem the download code on the card.*

The new capabilities of Nintendo Switch 2 allow for compatible physical and digital games released on Nintendo Switch to receive paid Nintendo Switch 2 Edition upgrade packs featuring enhanced graphics, exclusive content offerings, and new gameplay experiences.

Smoother frame rates, faster load times, and better graphics will make for a fresh experience when revisiting The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and now players will also have a little extra help. Also on the way is an update to the Nintendo Switch App (previously known as the Nintendo Switch Online app), called ZELDA NOTES. This game-specific service is exclusive to the Nintendo Switch 2 Editions of the games and helps players navigate to various locations, like that difficult-to-find shrine or hidden Korok, and will even feature commentary from Princess Zelda herself that was not part of the original games.
