    Heres how much Nintendo Switch 2 Edition game upgrades will cost you
    These games will all see visual improvements on Switch 2 (Nintendo)No official prices have been shared for Nintendo Switch 2 game upgrades here in the West, but Japans prices do provide an estimate.It was already suspected beforehand, but yesterdays Nintendo Switch 2 showcase confirmed that select games for the original Switch will see upgraded re-releases for the new console.Dubbed Nintendo Switch 2 Edition games, theyll all see visual improvements, but some will also come with entirely new content. Super Mario Party Jamborees Switch 2 version, for example, adds entirely new modes and minigames that make use of the consoles mouse controls and microphone.Unsurprisingly, these upgrades wont be free for those who already own the original games, and while Nintendo hasnt provided local prices yet, fans have figured out an estimate based on how much the upgrades cost in Japan.How much will Nintendo Switch 2 Edition game upgrades cost?As spotted on the Japanese Nintendo Switch 2 website, upgrading to a Nintendo Switch 2 Edition of a game can cost either 1,000 yen or 2,000 yen depending on the game. Thats tantamount to about $10 to $20.Here in the UK, that would be roughly 8 to 15, but no one knows for certain until Nintendo provides official pricing. It could very well opt to make the upgrades cost 10 to 20.As it stands, the Switch 2 versions of The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild and its sequel, Tears Of The Kingdom, are the cheapest ones to upgrade at 1,000 yen/$10 each.This is because all they have are improved frame rates and faster load times as well as exclusive support for a new Zelda Notes service on the Nintendo Switch App that can be used to help you find certain collectibles and share items with other players. Will you be paying extra just to experience the Zelda games with better visuals? (Nintendo)If you own either of the Zelda games and have a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription, you will be able to play their respective Switch 2 version for free. However, these are currently the only two games included with the service.More TrendingSuper Mario Party Jamboree and Kirby And The Forgotten Land, meanwhile, will cost 2,000 yen/$20 each to upgrade since they come with new content. Super Mario Party Jamboree gets the aforementioned new modes and minigames, while the Kirby game is adding a new story mode titled Star-Crossed World.The only other two games set to receive Switch 2 Editions Metroid Prime 4: Beyond and Pokmon Legends Z-A currently do not have upgrade prices.Its ultimately not that much different to how Sony handled offering PlayStation 5 upgrades for its PlayStation 4 games, although that attracted controversy at the time since such upgrades were initially free.Nintendos pricing has similarly been met with complaints, particularly with how much new Switch 2 games will cost. Mario Kart World, for instance, is priced at a whopping 74.99 physically and 66.99 digitally. Itll be cheaper digitally, but not that much cheaper (Nintendo)Emailgamecentral@metro.co.uk, leave a comment below,follow us on Twitter, andsign-up to our newsletter.To submit Inbox letters and Readers Features more easily, without the need to send an email, just use ourSubmit Stuff page here.For more stories like this,check our Gaming page.ArrowMORE: How to pre-order the Nintendo Switch 2 in the UKGameCentralSign up for exclusive analysis, latest releases, and bonus community content.This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply.

    Rosedale House / Scale Architecture
    Rosedale House / Scale ArchitectureSave this picture! Tim ClarkHousesRosedale, AustraliaArchitects: Scale ArchitectureYearCompletion year of this architecture project Year: 2024 PhotographsPhotographs:Tim ClarkMore SpecsLess SpecsSave this picture!Text description provided by the architects. On Yuin country, Rosedale is a small coastal town on the South Coast of New South Wales, Australia. During the Black Summer bushfires of 2019-2020, the seaside community was completely razed, and the original Polish-style summer house, originally commissioned by our clients' father, was lost to fire. The devastation to the built environment was clearly seen to the world, yet the hidden impacts to the social fabric remain a critical issue. Getting people back into their homes plays a vital role in repairing communities.Save this picture!The house, clad entirely in red corrugated iron, with its hip-roof profile is an unashamed reference to the modest tin shacks that once lined our coastal towns. The monochromatic response might appear to sit in contrast against its bushy coastal suburban context, but is so fitting in its context, that it appears to hide in plain sight.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!The compact 87m2 pavilion sits on an elevated galvanised steel structure, with a deck sitting amongst the majestic coastal spotted gums. The communal area runs through the centre of the plan while transverse to this is the circulation to the private spaces, which double as utility areas. A covered deck completes the simple rectangular plan, offering refuge from the searing Australian sun.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!The Rosedale house is a small yet significant contribution to the rebuilding effort in the wake of the Black Summer bushfires. Importantly, it provides insight into how architecture can respond to the weight of the human caused climate change disaster project that is unfolding in front of us.Save this picture!Project gallerySee allShow lessAbout this officeScale ArchitectureOfficePublished on April 03, 2025Cite: "Rosedale House / Scale Architecture " 03 Apr 2025.

    BIG Unveils Timber-Structured Design for the New Hungarian Natural History Museum in Debrecen
    BIG Unveils Timber-Structured Design for the New Hungarian Natural History Museum in DebrecenSave this picture!New Hungarian Natural History Museum in Debrecen . Image BIGBIG, Bjarke Ingels Group, has been selected to design the new Hungarian Natural History Museum in Debrecen. Located on a former sports ground at the northern edge of the city's Great Forest, Nagyerd, the 23,000 m museum is being developed in collaboration with Vikr s Lukcs pts Stdi, Museum Studio, and TYPSA. The new institution will replace the existing museum in Budapest, supporting the government's vision to establish Debrecen as a regional hub for education and culture by 2030. Commissioned by the Museum and the Ministry of Culture and Innovation, the new building will house permanent and temporary exhibition halls, educational and research facilities, public amenities, and back-of-house spaces.Save this picture!The proposed design features three overlapping ribbons that rise from the forest floor, shaping a public and scientific destination. With a mass timber structure and charred timber faade, BIG's museum is partially sunken into the ground, blending into its park surroundings, while its sloping roofscape invites public access and offers expansive city views. The design integrates open plazas, winding forest paths, and framed views through and over the building. Accessible from all sides, the arrival experience is marked by a southern plaza, serving as a meeting point for community life and museum activities.Save this picture! Our design is conceived as an intersection of paths and lineages. Intersecting ribbons of landscape overlap to produce a series of niches and habitats, halls and galleries, blending the inside and the outside, the intimate and the mastodontic in seamless continuity. The result is a manmade hill in a forest clearing; geometrically clear yet softly organic - an appropriate home for the wonders of the natural world. - Bjarke Ingels, Founder and Creative Director, BIG Related Article BIG Unveils Design for Kosovos First Opera House with Undulating Photovoltaic Roof The building will feature five exhibition wings dedicated to permanent galleries and one for temporary exhibitions and public programs, arranged in a radial layout. A reception hall serves as the central navigation point, while a library and restaurant above offer views into the forest canopy. Below, a learning hub will host workshops, play spaces, and research labs. The roof is to be planted with native species, explicitly designed to provide habitats for local flora and fauna, and visually extending the park over the museum. Vegetation will also be integrated into the building's interior, accompanying rest and gathering areas for visitors throughout the year.Save this picture!Save this picture! We envisioned the Hungarian Natural History Museum as an integrated part of its environment, both shaped by and shaping the landscape around it. Constructed from mass timber, the building features a faade of locally sourced charred timber panels that emerge from the ground, blurring the lines between architecture and wilderness. The museum draws on the thermal mass of the ground and integrates on-site energy systems, including geothermal loops and photovoltaic panels, to ensure a stable indoor climate year-round. Rather than simply preserving the site, the building restores and enhances it - regenerating biodiversity while quietly adapting to its surroundings. - Hanna Johansson, Partner, BIG Save this picture!Save this picture!Other recent BIG projects include the recently completed Jinji Lake Pavilion in China, a 1,200 m public and hospitality space; the design for Kosovo's first Opera House, featuring an undulating photovoltaic roof; and an 8,500 m palliative care center envisioned as a village surrounded by nature in Denmark. Bjarke Ingels will also participate in the Salone del Mobile talks on April 10, discussing how materiality, technology, and human interaction can redefine urban planning.Image gallerySee allShow lessAbout this authorCite: Antonia Pieiro.

    They made a wallet tracker like the AirTag, but thinner than a Ritz cracker
    Sure, AirTags are great. But when it comes to slipping one into your wallet, theyre bulky, awkward, and basically begging to fall out.

Grab your 3-pack of the KeySmart SmartCards for $89.99 with free shipping while we still have some left in stock (reg.$119.97).Why everyones ditching the AirTagThe SmartCards claim to fame is its ultraslim profile. The wallet tracker card is less than 2mm thick and thinner than a Ritz cracker, making it fit right next to your credit cards without creating a bulge.

Unlike AirTags, theres no need to swap out batteriesjust drop the SmartCard on a Qi-compatible wireless charger every five months or so.Plus, its IPX8 waterproof, which is a step above the AirTags IP67 rating. So if your wallet takes an unexpected dive in a puddle, your tracker will keep on ticking.And while the SmartCard was built for wallets, people are using it in all kinds of clever ways: tucked into passports, slipped into luggage, even clipped to pet carriers. With its built-in lanyard slot, its also a smart solution for keeping ID badges and security cards safe.Order your 3-pack of AirTag alternatives for $89.99 with free shipping (reg. $119.97).StackSocial prices subject to change.KeySmart SmartCard Works with Apple Find My (3-Pack)See Deal
