Kirby's actually quite a fun game, and this is more interesting to me than resolution/framerate upgrades in BotW & TotK - it's basically a DLC addition, although it's not clear how big the extra content is. ~~It seems the upgrades are included in the NSO Expansion Pass subscription or as a paid extra (if you own the Switch 1 game).~~

Edit: maybe not re NSO

Is it confirmed Kirby's upgrades are included in NSO Expansion pass? I have the sub, so if that's true, I can buy it using Voucher and save myself some money.

Pretty sure they aren't. Seems like there's 3 "tiers" of upgrades from Nintendo:

  • Upgrades with extra content (Kirby, Mario Party) -> Paid.
  • Upgrades with extra features but no extra content (BOTW and TOTK) -> Paid, but also available with NSO+Expansion.
  • Only resolution/framerate changs -> Free.

This is such a mess. Not only are they chargin more than anyone expected, but the upgrades have different tiers.

Can't wait to see how tariffs impact this too.

Ah well. No change from original plan then 😀

Oh, I don't know if it's confirmed - I just thought all upgrades would be included, the same as the two Zelda games. If that's not the case for all Switch 2 edition games, then maybe it's only available via buying the upgrade for Kirby. Maybe I was too hopeful!
