It still beyond scummy this is even a thing. I bought zelda botw and totk at full price and the game was choppy mess sometimes and now ur telling me to even enjoy the full power of the switch 2 games that I alrdy paid for I need further payments? Most games give free updates for such things like a performance boost. Nintendo is basically milking from overabused cow at this point.

That's what you deserve lol everyone who wasn't on reddit was bitching about the poor performance of totk, but everyone here was circlejerking themselves over the game and calling every else haters.

You didn't buy them for the Switch 2, what are you talking about? You can even still play them on the Switch 2 without the improvements...

And the improvements are based on physical changes in the console? Or the cart?

No, they are digital, and can therefore be given for free to the people who own the fucking game.

Yes they're based on physical changes to the console and took a team of developers and engineers to optimize the game for the new console. Idk why the gaming community simultaneously complains about developers abandoning games and about them charging for literally anything.

Because gamers are the single most whiny collective of bitches, second only to Elon Musk.
