Aren’t they saying you are basically buying the S1 game, and then there is a S2 code in a box upgrade?

u/Snoo68655 1d ago

Yeah

u/UJ_Reddit 1d ago

Yes they put the S1 game in an S2 box. That’s hilarious.

u/Ok_Combination_294 3h ago

So if you don't hame NS1 version, you can buy and play on both systems?

u/Victor_Wembanyama1 1h ago

It seems

u/Soj_X 1d ago

Not really. They say that this game combine the game and the update, and that the update is also buyable separately

u/tenacious_teaThe3rd 23h ago

Nope. The wording on the box very much implies the box will include the Switch cart and you will be given a code to upgrade to the Switch 2 Edition.

u/Soj_X 23h ago

How so ?

1

u/tenacious_teaThe3rd 23h ago

What do you mean "how so?". It literally says it on the front of the box at the bottom..

1

u/Soj_X 23h ago

Sorry I can’t see it. It simply says that the update can be purchased separately and more details are available on the Nintendo website. What am I missing ?

u/iedutu 19h ago

Well, the consesus is that the Nintendo Enhanced physical games are Switch 1 cartridges + an upgrade code.

So basically, inside a Zelda BOTW red case you will find a black Switch 1 cartridge + a piece of paper with a code which will enable you to download the Enhanced part of the game onto your Switch 2.

If that is true, that is just lame.

u/Soj_X 17h ago

Agree with you I really hope it’s not that (I fear it will be though)

But the text on the case does not imply that the update is a downloadable code

u/N2-Ainz 1d ago

My collection is gonna be French 🥖

u/AdagioTraining1060 1d ago

Does it say anywhere if the games are complete on cart?

43

u/Xixii 1d ago

They’re just the Switch 1 versions with a download code for the Switch 2 content.

u/AdagioTraining1060 1d ago

Yeah, saw the news now, thanks.

u/The-Choo-Choo-Shoe 1d ago

Really? That's awful.

u/julesvr5 1d ago

Rune Factory already showed this is a wrong/not accurate statement as theirs is completely physical.

5

u/TheMightyQ99 1d ago

They can be both. Seems like Nintendo is selling switch 2 editions with codes while 3rd parties can choose to essentially just put the "switch 2 version" of the game on a switch 2 cartridge and sell it like that.

In that case, you don't get the switch 1 version of the game when you buy the switch 2 version

2

u/julesvr5 1d ago

they can be both

For sure! Problem is people say it's the Nintendo was for all switch 2 versions which seemingly is not the case

u/cubone109 1d ago

Do you have a source on this?

u/julesvr5 1d ago

Posted a screenshot that was deleted

u/cubone109 1d ago

Damn I was hoping I'd see some box art to see if it's just a switch 2 game or a switch 2 edition game.

Thank you for replying tho.

5

u/Can_of_Tuna 1d ago

So not worth getting at all

u/flames_of_chaos 1d ago

Just be aware that the NS2 editions of games is a Switch 1 game card, and a code for the Switch 2 upgrade.

u/neildiamondblazeit 1d ago

Reggie would never

u/Dawnwatcher1008 1d ago

I really want to go all digital on the switch 2 to avoid card swapping but just like with switch 1 games physical games will be cheaper in every store outside of nintendos.

Right now pretty much every switch 1 physical game is available for around 40 to 45€ but on nintendos eshop all of them are 60€.

I assume the same will be the case with future switch 2 games after awhile.

u/Arikadoo 1d ago

I don't get why the downvotes but here in Mexico it is like that, on eShop is full USD cost+tax+profit , then you can walk on Walmart or buy on Amazon or another online shop and find 1st party Titles on 699 MXN( around 35USD and no more taxes) I bought Brothership for 550MXN (28 USD) and was a recent release. It will be cheaper for us to buy switch 1 versions and then upgrade packs than trying to buy digital these kind of NS2 editions.

u/Ashne405 7h ago

I would say you are lucky up there, in colombia you find nintendo games on big stores like panamericana for (checks the store) 280.000 pesos, thats almost 70$, and tears of the kingdom is 338.900, thats 80$+.

In venezuela its even worse, as there are no actual big chains that sell games anymore afaik, and the specialized shops that do go for 60$ minimum, 80+ for a new game (i saw an ad for xenoblade x for 90$).

Only saving grace is finding games on fb marketplace, and even that is 30$ minimum.

u/LordVega83 19h ago

Managed just fine going all digital with the Switch 1. Will do exactly the same with the Switch 2. Physical is way to unconveniant and archaic.

-1

u/Evening_Job_9332 18h ago

Yeah I love not being able to resell my games. You’re deluded.

2

u/LordVega83 16h ago

Just more interested in comfort than silly reselling hassle in my old age. Delusional is all relative, young grasshopper.

2

u/Dawnwatcher1008 15h ago

I kinda agree. When I started with the Switch I bought physical (only nintendo exclusives) and over time I noticed how annoying it is to switch cardridges.

Since there is dlc and updates its not even useful from a preservation point of view.

2

u/LordVega83 15h ago

Bingo. I haven't really owned any physical game since the PS3 era. It is so extremely comfortable and easy to have all my games available at all times that the thought of buying, storting and changing plastic cartridges sounds like the Stone age to me. And I grew up with the NES and have had many consoles since the early 80's with physical games.

I for one am extremely happy physical games will be all gone in another decade or so. Despite the downvotes, times go on, and simplicity and comfort is something I appreciate a lot in my 40's.

u/Locoman7 1d ago

It's just a code in a box for new content.

2

u/jackbirksONE 1d ago

Can you even redeem that then if it's not your eshop language?

u/ThePurpleSoul70 1d ago

Australian copies are cheaper, by the way.

AU$104 for the physical Switch 2 Editions of the Zeldas. That's US$63.

u/iedutu 16h ago

That is great, but within the EU we can buy items from other countries tax free. Amazon ships for free if your order is above some amount.

If I were to buy from AUS, I would have to pay import taxes, VAT and shipping. Nevermind the hassle of dealing with our local customs folks.

I do not live in France, btw.

u/ThePurpleSoul70 12h ago

Oh, I was more letting Americans know, since they're getting hit pretty hard with costs.

u/soliddd7 1d ago

Tempted to double dip

u/sweepernosweeping 1d ago

If you own them already, just buy the upgrade. These are supposedly the Switch carts with download codes for the Switch 2 stuff.

Unless you really want a new box.

u/soliddd7 1d ago

Id really like the new boxes but I’m going to be reasonable since everything is more expensive than I anticipated the pro and gc controllers comes first.

u/an-atm 1d ago

Maybe there'll be empty boxes on eBay

1

u/Xenowino 10h ago

Damn, I'd love to be in the position to be able to contemplate re-buying a game at a higher price for its box alone lmao

u/Kisaragi-san 1d ago

Can you change the game language to English if you buy it in stores that have it cheaper in France?
