Nintendo’s Switch 2 upgrade packs for Zelda will cost $9.99
Nintendo’s hoping to relieve some of the sticker shock it gave fans with its game pricing with the news that the Switch 2 upgrades for both Legend of Zelda games will only cost $10 if you already own them. The games are priced for the Nintendo Switch 2 at $69.99 for Breath of the Wild and $79.99 for Tears of the Kingdom. In an interview with IGN, Bill Trinen, Nintendo of America’s VP of product and player experience, broke down the pricing situation.
“What you’re looking at is for the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, that’s the physical price for somebody that has not bought the base game,” he said. “For somebody who has bought Tears of the Kingdom or Breath of the Wild, the upgrade packs for those are $9.99. And if you happen to be a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack member, both of the Zelda upgrade packs are inclusive within that membership.”
Trinen did not explain if digital copies of the two games would be cheaper than their physical versions. Additionally, Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour, a game that uses surprisingly fun and informative mini-games to explain the inner workings of the console, will also be priced at $9.99 although some think the game should be included with the Switch 2 akin to Astro’s Playroom for the PS5.
But it seems that, for Americans at least, the pricing conversation regarding Nintendo Switch 2 games will have to take a back seat to the more pressing matter of figuring out the exact price of the console itself. Pre-orders have started for the Switch 2 in other countries while the US is forced to wait to hear how or if the Trump presidency’s tariffs, which includes a 24 percent tariff on Japanese goods, will impact the console’s $449.99 price.
