It’s conceptually similar to how black Game Boy Color carts worked on the original Game Boy, but provided additional features if played on a Game Boy Color.

If you’re ever not sure, you can check the blurb on the bottom of the Switch 2 Edition game case to be sure, or get more details at support.nintendo.com/switch2/upgradepack

All Switch 2 Edition carts work in the original Switch; it contains the Switch game as well as the Upgrade Pack. It’s kind of like a black Game Boy Color cartridge that can work on the OG Game Boy!
There’s a blurb on the bottom of the very ugly case art of all compatible games:

Also if like me us got a digital upgrade to the Switch 2 Edition of any of your Switch 1 games, the icon still shows up as black like a Switch 1 cart does. Technically accurate, as that’s the cart we would insert! 3/4

But now instead of the solid blue icon we get a little came card and label. Even better, Switch 1 software is black while Switch 2 software is red, just like the real thing. 2/4

The latest major Switch and Switch 2 firmware update included this little quality of life improvement to the main menu. When Virtual Game Cards were added, there was no distinguishing them at all glance from physical media. 1/4

Never played, or even saw this one before. Funky Fantasy for the Sega Saturn. Maybe I’ll try it on stream. It looks… yeah…

We only had the chance to interview her once (with missed promises to do it again) but “Burger” Becky Heineman impacted our gaming lives so much. Vinnk as an Apple II kid and Sean for Out of This World SNES and more. As adults we appreciated her contributions, genius and kindness even more. (1/2)

Gonna play this one (beyond just testing the cart) for the first time in about 20 years… will my nostalgia betray me?

When we noticed that Super Famicom Nintendo Classics got an update today, our first thought was we finally got the other 16-bit mouse game that never came out in the US, and…
WE WERE RIGHT (AGAIN)! Mario & Wario is out now, and available to play for the first time in the US!!

I am exposing my kids to some classic games. They can make entire worlds in Minecraft but it took about an hour for them to figure out level 1-1 in Super Mario. Look at how excited they are when they finally did it. Video games should always feel like this.

We've been poring over Switch 2 information on the Nintendo website, and found this nugget buried in the System Transfer page: all Switch controllers will be compatible with Switch 2.
This is timely news for several videos we are developing, and in keeping with how Switch handled compatibility. ✌️

There’s more, like some great first and third party games, including FFVII finally coming home to Nintendo five console generations (and one human generation) later, but we’re gonna stop for now. Let us know if you want us to make a video version of this summary! /28

We want to update our recent video about how to download the Japanese versions of these consoles, but it may not be possible. @vinnk.bsky.social found out that reportedly Japan will be offering a region locked and a more expensive multi-region Switch 2. Will the US follow suit? #EndRegionLocking /26

Even more shocking, the GameCube virtual console will let you map controls! And not for just the GameCube controller, but any compatible one.
None of the NSO VCs currently do; will that change with the Nintendo Classics rebrand? Will any of the Switch 1 controllers still work? We need answers! /25

I’m sure people are wondering if this will work with Metroid Prime 4, and it very well may since it has all the buttons. I will probably also work with Metroid Prime remastered (mostly), which means we should resurrect a cancelled video about how nostalgia for this control scheme is BAD. /24

Unsurprisingly, there is also a GameCube NSO controller. Like the N64 offering, it has Home and Share buttons along the top, as well as ZL to access the NSO menu. The new C Button is also present.
Will there be no need for a GameCube adapter? (Will they stillwork?) Will these work on Switch 1? /23

This will likely bring more people into the NSO Expansion Pack than N64 or Sega Genesis ever could. It was a good move. /22

Complete and utter shock is the inclusion of the GameCube “Nintendo Classics” virtual console; we were convinced they’d make remakes forever. They said it was for Switch 2 only, and available at launch, so we’ll see just how OG Switch prevents you from downloading Switch 2-only digital games. /21

*Calling back to post 18, the Expansion Pack WILL allow you to play any Upgrade Packs for free so long as you keep your subscription, so it may be hard for us to demo what happens with OG Switch games since @seanorange.bsky.social pays for it. Maybe delete all users, or unsubscribe…? /20

As expected, your NSO subscription will continue to work on Switch 2, but no news of any Switch 2-exclusive titles, like Mario Paint, Mario Artist, or Mario & Wario. :( /19
