The question is, will Nintendo Accounts (the thing Nintendo made so you didn’t have to get a new type of account with every damn console) that already have the DLC be able to use it on the Switch 2 with the Switch 2 version of the game?

Technically, there shouldn’t be any meaningful reason why not. Aren’t the Switch 2 versions just asset upgrades? Maybe a wee bit of coding to adapt the existing software to newer hardware. So if they’re smart they’ll say “Yes.”

The best reason for a no would be that Nintendo will not have yet updated the assets that are included in the DLC. Meaning people who own the DLC would get to use them at a later date when the teams doing these ports have time to get to them.

The worst reason to say no would be “Buy them again, cucks.”

I had Breath of the Wild on Wii U with DLC and actually called Nintendo to try to get it transferred to the Switch or reimbursed. They outright refused, and said they were different products and I needed to buy it again.

My guess is they'll demand we pay again.

Switch 2 uses emulation to run switch 1 games. My guess is that the switch2 version is just nicer textures and a little make more fps line.

(Like that thing those evil evil hackers have been doing since 2017)
