Nintendo spokesperson confirms that first-party entity Switch2 games do not

A week after the Nintendo Switch 2 face-to-face meeting ended, the details of the new console's functional details are gradually emerging through the official website's text instructions and packaging box design. The most popular one is the physical content of the upgraded version of the "NintendoSwitch2 Edition" game - these special versions that provide image quality upgrades and additional content based on the original Switch game. The packaging box is marked with a banner logo that says "This product contains the original Switch game and the Switch2 upgrade package", and is accompanied by a detailed query URL and QR code.
In response to players' concerns that "the physical version may only contain the original Switch cassette and need to obtain the upgraded content through the download code", Nintendo made a clear statement to Australian media Vooks: "Nintendo's upgraded physical game will integrate the original game and the upgrade package into the same Switch2 dedicated cassette (no download code required). However, third-party publishers may choose to sell it in the form of physical package containing the download code."
The first-party Nintendo games that have been confirmed to launch the Switch2 upgrade include: "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild", "The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom", "Mitrod Prime4", "Star Karbi: Exploration and Discovery + Star World", and "Super Mario Party: Unprecedented + Unprecedented Event TV", and the third-party first works include "Runar Factory: Guardians of Azma".
This policy means that players can retain the ownership of the game in full, and there will be no embarrassing situation of "only the original content left" when trading second-hand. However, the statement also implies that third-party manufacturers may adopt different solutions, and it is recommended to carefully check the packaging instructions before purchasing.
