Nintendo hints at enhanced “Switch 2 Edition games” for new console
- Following Thursday's Nintendo Direct presentation, Nintendo quietly confirmed the existence of a new category called "Switch 2 Edition games" for its upcoming console, the Switch 2, which was revealed in January.
- This confirmation emerged from a mention of "Switch 2 Edition games" on the Nintendo website page detailing the newly announced Virtual Game Cards digital lending feature.
- The term "Switch 2 Edition games" suggests that some original Switch games may receive visual or performance enhancements when played on the new console, in addition to the Switch 2 having backward compatibility.
- Nintendo's fine print states, "Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive games and Nintendo Switch 2 Edition games can only be loaded on a Nintendo Switch 2 system," differentiating them from standard Switch games.
- While it is unclear which Switch games will receive the "Switch 2 Edition" treatment and whether these will be free updates or re-releases, more information is expected at the Switch 2 Nintendo Direct on April 2, where price, release date and launch titles will be revealed.
