Various store pages went live today confirming pricing for all Nintendo Switch 2 Upgrade Packs that will be available at the system’s launch.
Pricing seems to sit at either $10 or $20. Currently Nintendo has two of these on the higher end – those being Super Mario Party Jamboree and Kirby and the Forgotten Land.
Here’s the full roundup:

The latest Nintendo Switch 2 eShop charts for the week of September 7, 2025 are now available.
Just as we saw on Nintendo Switch 1, Hollow Knight: Silksong is crushing it here for its launch as well and comes in at #1. There are several other new games that appear here as well though. These include Star Wars Outlaws (#2), NBA 2K26 (#4), Cronos: The New Dawn (#6) and Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion (#13).

Nintendo shared new data this week revealing the top 20 best-selling games on the Japanese Switch 2 and Switch eShops for August 2025.
Looking at Nintendo Switch 2, Donkey Kong Bananza is #1 for the second month in a row. It did have some competition though as Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar was a new release, following at #2. Worth noting that on Nintendo Switch, there are three different entries for Super Robot Wars Y in the top ten.
The full lineup of Japan’s best-selling games on the Switch 2 and Switch eShops for August 2025 is as follows:
I’m maybe a little bit late here – when I play my Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, I do so almost entirely in handheld mode. Portability and versatility are very important in my opinion, but there’s one aspect of the Nintendo 2 that ensures I play it docked at least every once in a while: the Pro Controller. Big price tag aside, it’s a big upgrade over the original Nintendo Switch Pro Controller and an infinitely better option for playing in docked mode than the standard Joy-Con 2 option.
A few months ago (and before the release of the Definitive Edition), we made a few guesses on how Xenoblade Chronicles X could connect to the numbered Xenoblade Chronicles games. Of course, every single one of our theories was dead wrong – the actual answer is far, far more complicated than that.
Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition is an extremely long game, and it’ll probably take you at least 80 hours to see its new ending. If you don’t have that kind of time to commit but still want to know how Xenoblade X relates to the overall series, we’ve written a plot summary of the major new chapter for the Nintendo Switch version. We feel that now’s a good time for this as we’re a few months removed from launch. It’s full of spoilers, of course, so you might want to bookmark this post and come back later if you’re trying to avoid them for now. We’ll be covering this game as well as the entire numbered trilogy, so keep that in mind before you continue. It’s virtually impossible to sum up the entirety of Xenoblade X’s new chapter in just a few paragraphs, but this is for true fans of the series.
If you’re interested in getting another look at Dark Deity 2, you can now do so with a new launch trailer. The tactical RPG appeared on Nintendo Switch this week.
We’ve got plenty of information about it in the following Nintendo eShop rundown:
