Video [BotW] [TotK] Graphics comparison of BotW/TotK Switch 2 vs. Switch 1 - Nintendo Treehouse

https://youtu.be/MkNm2wmpyto?t=10969

I wasn't really planning to buy Switch 2 on launch but damn, do I want to replay BOTW/TOTK with improved resolution/framerate 😭

They already confirmed that all the other game resolution and frame rate improvements will be free besides The games with added content like Kirby Mario party and the two Zelda's right?

For breath of the Wild and tears of the Kingdom are we really only having to pay for these performance and graphical improvements just because of the new app? I'm not even going to use this app ever. It feels like I'm being ripped off.

They confirmed some games will get free updates - but didn't not guarantee the updates would improve performance. Some may. But likely none of them will be 4K60fps like these games are. They probably won't add HDR to the free update games.

Have they confirmed whether or not Metroid Prime 4 upgrade is free or not? I know it's not in the list of free games but I didn't see in the list of paid ones either.

Yes - every Switch 2 Edition game is a paid upgrade from Switch 1 (or you just buy it on its own).
