Nintendo has revealed pricing details for upgrading two more flagship Switch games—Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Super Mario Party Jamboree—to their Switch 2 versions, with costs significantly higher than previous upgrades.
While The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom required $9.99 each for the Switch 2 upgrade, NintendoLife reports the Kirby and Mario Party upgrades cost more than double this amount.
The Nintendo Switch 2 Enhanced Edition of Breath of the Wild offers enhanced graphics and performance, achievement tracking, and integration with Nintendo Switch Online's "Zelda Notes" feature. Existing owners can access these improvements through a $10 upgrade pack.
The Switch 2 version of Kirby and the Forgotten Land introduces new Star-Crossed World storyline content. Super Mario Party Jamboree's enhanced edition includes Jamboree TV features, utilizing Joy-Con 2 motion controls, the Switch 2 microphone, and an optional USB-C camera. Both versions deliver 1440p resolution in TV mode, smoother performance, additional minigames, and expanded online functionality.
While US pricing remains unconfirmed (potentially delayed due to tariff uncertainties), the UK Nintendo eShop lists the Kirby upgrade at £16.99/€19.99—over twice the £7.99/€9.99 charged for Zelda titles.
Super Mario Party Jamboree follows the same pricing pattern, suggesting a likely $19.99 US price point.
This $20 upgrade cost may reflect the $79.99 standalone pricing for both enhanced editions, compared to their original $59.99 Switch versions.
