Nintendo somehow keeps finding a way to make this worse

I'm a big fan but I'm not stupid. This is some horseshit.

I have both DLCs and I didn't expect this garbage. Really bad stuff.

I have both DLCs

So then you still get to play them. The only people this affects are new buyers, which... scans internet will be approximately nobody, given the raging hate-boners on display. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But if I buy the upgrade pack, what will happen to the DLCs when I play on the Switch 2?

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Then you'll play the DLC with the updated graphics etc. There's nothing mystical about the upgrade pack - it's just engine optimizations to let the game run natively on new hardware, probably some revamped textures, etc. The base game has been DLC-aware since the DLC was released. Having the DLC doesn't change the game code, it just makes the extra content accessible.

Okay, so then it's just like normal? This is no news at all? It's the same as buying the game on the original Switch? Because the DLCs weren't included with that version either. 🤷‍♂️ How uninteresting of a post.
