Red: Gyro aiming is what I’d try first. I’m curious how switching to Joy-Con 2 mouse controls would feel.
Nea: Songs of the Past has me wondering what it will add. I’ll wait for more details rather than guess from the title.
Physical and digital owners both qualify
Nintendo’s free upgrade offer covers owners of either the physical or digital Nintendo Switch edition. The announced date is a launch schedule, not confirmation that the Switch 2 version is already available in every regional eShop.
New ways to play on Switch 2
The Switch 2 edition promises visual, performance and gameplay enhancements, including gyro aiming, Joy-Con 2 mouse controls and touchscreen support. Nintendo has not specified resolution or frame-rate figures in the announced details.
The 2027 expansion is a separate purchase
