While we knew the Switch Online + Expansion Pack service would offer some of the Switch 2 Edition game upgrades for free, we didn’t know what the upgrades would cost without the Expansion Pack. Now, however, we have a good idea of what they’ll cost (in Japanese yen). We can then use Japan’s pricing to guess the USD cost.
Wow. Despite the Switch 2 console being overpriced for foreigners in Japan, and game prices soaring high worldwide, the upgrade pack cost isn’t actually that bad.
As @Pierre485 says, it’s likely the upgrades will cost between $15 USD and $20 USD based on Japanese yen pricing of between 1,000 yen to 2,000 yen. Pricing will differ on a game by game basis.
Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Super Mario Party Jamboree upgrades, for example, will cost 1,000 yen more than Breath of the Wild‘s upgrade.
FYI: As recently reported, Switch Online + Expansion Pack users can enjoy some of these upgrades at no additional cost.
What do you make of the cost of these game upgrades?
