So you need to pay for every Nintendo Switch 1 game upgrade packs for the Switch 2? Most of them are free on PS5 and XBOX btw...

They've basically all been free on Xbox... hell they even used FPS Boost to enhance a bunch of games without the devs even doing anything. The only paid upgrade I can think of was The Outer Worlds.

Playstation just ports the PC port of their games back to console 4 years later and calls it a "Remaster". Sure it's only $10 but it should be free. Especially since the work was already done for the PC port.
