Nintendo is all set to launch the new Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5, 2025. And they have exciting news for their fans. Plenty of games from the original Switch
It’s somewhat odd that the two top-down Zelda games on Switch are getting free Switch 2 upgrades, while Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom will require you to purchase the respective upgrades.
How is it odd that Nintendo wants every dollar they can reasonably make off of us?
Finally the uber-demanding Captain Toad will be unshackled from the pitiful Switch and be on a powerful enough platform that can properly run this epic isometric puzzle game /s

It would be, if this wasn’t passing off old news from right after the Switch 2’s big reveal trailer as something new: https://www.ign.com/articles/nintendo-switch-games-free-switch-2-upgrade

Here’s the actual patch notes from Nintendo instead of this blogspam.
My black laptop is giggling like a little schoolgirl right now.
That‘s the same list from give or take a month ago, is it not?
Most of these games were mentioned previously, but now we have actual patch notes.
