I remember playing it with my cousin when we were around 12 or 13 years old, acting as co-mayors. I was always focused on the environment and quality of life, while he prioritized profit - building dirty industries and raising taxes. Good times, good times.
Ok, i understand. So they put the fixing patches behind a paywall for certain games, while other games getting them for free and others maybe not getting one at all. But all will play as you were in Switch 1.
There are no new textures. Only better resolution with upgrade pack. So you gonna play 4k TOTK with the same textures.
What am i saying is this. If the upgrade pack offers 4k and better fps, what would you get without it? Will the game run on 1080p with crapy fps on Switch 2?
The most believe that it won't simply run without installing the uograde pack. Some games get free upgrade packs and some paid.
I'm sorry but if the upgrade pack offers higher resolution and frame rates, faster loading times, HDR, you say what? That you can play TOTK in Switch 2 without it?
So you suppose what? Playing it in Switch 2 having the performance of what, Switch 1? Pls explain to me, with what performance is TOTK to be played in your way of thinking? (higher resolution and frame rates, faster loading times, HDR is only with the upgrade pack)
The original post talks about when is the best time to play it. In Switch 2 or 3, gaining better visuals. I just said that you need 10€ to play it in Switch 2 (with better resolution and fps).
Some games, not all, like TOTK, will need upgrade packs costing 10€, so you can play the game in Switch 2. They offer some enhancements to justify the paywall.
For example.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition
Release date: June 5, 2025

I saw their direct. In that video there is no saying that you put your switch 1 game and play it on Switch 2. All that they said is that you can play them with upgrade packs.
Anyways from what i read so far, the games will need patches to utilize Switch 2. Those patches maybe be free, maybe paid. It depends from each publisher and each game. Sony did the same thing with PS5 and now Nintendo follows.
There is not midle way. You must have an upgrade pack to play the games in Switch 2. Some games get it free, others paid.
BOTW and TOTK needs 10€ to be played in Switch 2 and you get some phone assistance app (their excuse to put a paywall behind them). Or you can buy the Switch 2 versions, if you don't have the games at 70€ (lmao 2017 game) and 80€, which is the same thing.
You must download and install the upgrade pack so the system can play the game you own from Switch 1. Free upgrade packs get no enhancements, while paid get some.
Watch the Nintendo's direct, or just google. Switch 2 is backwards compatible, but they locked the games behind the upgrade packs paywall. Without upgrade pack you can not play any of Switch games to Switch 2. So even if you have the game and the console you need to pay 10€ to work. At least kirby and the forgotten land is getting some in game content in Switch 2 with the upgrade pack.
No you can not play any some Switch 1 games without paying for upgrade pack costing 10€. Good morning, welcome to reality. Also there are no new graphics. Its the same game in HDR and 4K, even if you pay.
Freeload? I had payed 70€ for TOTK, if i ever buy Switch 2 that's another 450€, and you call that freeloading? So 520€ is freeloading and not the 10€ they ask to run the game. If this was not an anti consumer tactic, you could play the fucking game no matter what in Switch 2, and ask 10€ only for these "upgrades".
I would like to know if even you would pay for this, fanboy.
PS Thanks Playstation fanboys who made this a today norm.
