- Nintendo has now clarified that Switch 2 edition Cartridges will contain the full game and upgrades
- There is still some uncertainty about DLC
- My Nintendo Store Customer Service Representatives have said Breath of the Wild Switch 2 edition “Doesn’t include the PEED DLCs”
Nintendo has confirmed that the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition game will include the full game and upgrades on the cartridge, but there is still uncertainty about some downloadable content (DLC).
Last week, a Nintendo customer service representative caused some confusion among fans after Nintendo Switch 2 directly by informing a player that Switch 2 Edition games will be original Switch cartridges with a download code attached.
Nintendo has now clarified that this is not the case, and to enhance games that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Has the full game and upgrades on the Switch 2 Edition cartridge.
In a statement to VOOS, a spokesman for Nintendo said “Physical versions of Nintendo Switch 2 Edition games will include the original Nintendo Switch game and its upgrade package all on the same game card (ie that they are exclusively Nintendo Switch 2 game cards without download code). -codes in physical packing without games. “
Although we have confirmation of this aspect there is still uncertainty about DLC, specifically when it comes to Breath of the Wild and its expansion passport.
As reported by Gonintendo, A My Nintendo Store Customer Service Representative said that Breath of the Wild‘S Switch 2 edition’ will not include the expansion content ‘which includes The master experiments and Master’s trouble.
Another user at Reddit also shared a message from another My Nintendo Store representative who required something similar.
“This game The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition – My Nintendo store will not include the paid DLCs. If you buy the Switch 2 version in physical, it arrives in the corresponding game box, ”read the message.
We still do not have official confirmation from Nintendo, but it seems that the players, like with the Switch version, have to buy the DLC packages again to play them on Switch 2.
It is also unclear whether this applies to all Switch 2 Edition games with DLC.
Nintendo Switch 2 is officially launched on June 5, 2025 and costs $ 449.99 / £ 395.99 or $ 499.99 / £ 429.99 for a Mario Kart World bundle.
Pre-orders are now live in England, but Nintendo has announced that US pre-orders and Canada proposals have been delayed “to assess the potential impact of customs and developing market conditions.”
