Enhanced editions shouldn't need those, but yes, if they are any they won't be on the cartridge. That's how physical copy on release works.
Right. What I mean to say is that most large scale games these days have day 1 patches.
Yeah. It seems we are talking about different things. 😀
Just some background, Nintendo is releasing "Switch 2 enhanced edition" of some Switch games, and there was confusion whether these games will have all data on the cartridge or will only have Switch 1 version, with Switch 2 update as download. So, this clarifies that this is not the case, and the physical versions will have full games available on cartridge.
Gotcha! Yeah my bad! I’m reading the article but there is so much nonsense drama re nintendo these days I don’t trust it lol.
No worries. There is so much nonsense drama with so many things these days, it takes real effort to understand what's happening with most stuff. Most of the times it isn't even worth it 😀
These are for already finished switch games, they probably aren’t getting day 1 patches or any more DLC dude.
They shouldn't, but since the game has been enhanced, there's a good chance that something will go a little wrong and need a patch. I would actually guess that most of them end up with a patch, but only a few end up with game-breaking bugs and need a patch.
Nintendo is pretty good with releasing polished games, but who knows, let's wait and see.
