wow. this situation is so confusing. so Switch 2 Edition physical games come as an original Switch cartridge with the upgrade pack in the cartridge as well for when you play it on a Switch 2 ?

It's a red Switch 2 enhanced edition cartridge, which includes the enhancements on the card.

It also works in a switch 1 without the enhancements.

nice 👍 that makes sense.

it has seemed like so many people were so sure they would contain original Switch cartridge, plus a download code for the upgrade pack ! haha lol.

i could only think: Nintendo would not do that . . . 👀

How is a Switch 1 going to be able to read a Switch 2 game cartridge? That's just what's weird about it. They already stated the Switch 1 can read the "Switch 2 edition" physical games. (just not the enhancements) This clearly shows that the enhancment is either a seperate download (my guess) or on the cartridge but only readable by a Switch 2.

Bingo. Red cartridge =/= Can be played on switch 1. It should be that simple.

If BOTW Enhanced means it can be played on switch 1, then it should be a black cartridge. But that also means the enhancement is a download, not on the card, unless its some type of option ingame to switch to the enhancement mode thats only available for switch 2. If its not, then this shit is pointlessly confusing, especially for nintendo.
