Yeah. It seems we are talking about different things. 😀
Just some background, Nintendo is releasing “Switch 2 enhanced edition” of some Switch games, and there was confusion whether these games will have all data on the cartridge or will only have Switch 1 version, with Switch 2 update as download. So, this clarifies that this is not the case, and the physical versions will have full games available on cartridge.
No worries. There is so much nonsense drama with so many things these days, it takes real effort to understand what’s happening with most stuff. Most of the times it isn’t even worth it 😀
They shouldn’t, but since the game has been enhanced, there’s a good chance that something will go a little wrong and need a patch. I would actually guess that most of them end up with a patch, but only a few end up with game-breaking bugs and need a patch.
That would be really interesting, because it would mean they either emulate the game on switch 2 even though it is a special cartridge for the switch 2 edition, or they have some kind of universal binary that works on both (which I don’t think is possible without duplicating a lot).

Except for the day 1 patches and dlc…
Enhanced editions shouldn’t need those, but yes, if they are any they won’t be on the cartridge. That’s how physical copy on release works.
Right. What I mean to say is that most large scale games these days have day 1 patches.
These are for already finished switch games, they probably aren’t getting day 1 patches or any more DLC dude.

Nintendo is pretty good with releasing polished games, but who knows, let’s wait and see.
Curious if these carts remain compatible with Switch 1, booting back into the base game.
The switch 2 is a completely different console to the old one. So it’s actually running a switch emulator.
Based on that I’m certain that you can just plop in any switch game and it will just run.
