The upgrades for Kirby and Mario Party not only enhance visual quality and performance but also introduce new content and features tailored for the new hardware. Kirby's upgrade includes expanded story content, while Super Mario Party introduces an exciting new segment called Jamboree TV, harnessing the capabilities of the Switch 2’s improved controls and features. The Kirby and the Forgotten Land upgrade is priced at £16.99 (around $20), indicating a likely U.S. equivalent of $20. Pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2 have also begun, priced at $449.99, amidst high demand warnings from Nintendo for potential delays in delivery.

Upgrading Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Super Mario Party Jamboree will cost around $20 each, while upgrades for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom cost $10.
