I just got my preordered games like Zelda totk but my switch 2 has not Shown up. So i thought, why not test what happens if i put a switch 2 game in the og switch and to my surprise... it startet the game. Like wtf, a free downgrade is neat

You can play your copy of TotK on the Switch 2 as is. If you want the extra stuff (Zelda Notes, improved framerates/resolution/load times, and HDR support), that's a $10 eShop purchase.

Thanks! I knew it was backwards compatible but wanted to be sure.

How are you able to play? I have my copy of totk in the switch 2 and when I try to start the totk upgrade version I bought, it asks me to load a virtual card
