Thanks to a little bit of small print, many out there now have hopes that Nintendo may be upgrading some of its OG Switch games for the more powerful Switch 2 console.
During yesterday’s Nintendo Direct, the company announced a new feature for Switch and Switch 2 that’ll let players share their digital games with another console or Family Group members in the same way they might swap a physical cartridge known as Virtual Game Cards.
This little announcement was very welcome in itself, but a particular bit in the small print has since caught the attention of many, with the mention of “Nintendo Switch 2 Edition games”.

The small print on the Virtual Game Cards information page reads:
“Compatible systems must be linked to a Nintendo Account to use virtual game cards. Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive games and Nintendo Switch 2 Edition games can only be loaded on a Nintendo Switch 2 system.
“To move virtual game cards between two systems, you must pair the systems via local wireless and an internet connection, but only when pairing the systems for the first time. Up to two systems total can be linked per Nintendo Account.”
