Nintendo Switch 2 gains another big launch game – but there's a major catch
The Nintendo Switch 2 has yet another big game confirmed for launch, but there's a catch this time around as it appears there's no upgrade path for existing playersTech10:51, 24 Apr 2025Updated 10:51, 24 Apr 2025Sonic x Shadow Generations will come to Switch 2(Image: Sega)The Nintendo Switch 2 launch line-up looks packed, with Mario Kart World leading the pack and much more besides. The first few months of the console should give us the likes of Elden Ring, enhanced Switch 2 games, and one underrated title that deserves a second chance, and we almost don't miss a 3D Mario title being part of it.Still, as we wait to find out how soon the likes of EA FC and Madden will be on the hybrid system, SEGA has confirmed that Sonic and Shadow will make their Switch 2 debut on launch day.‌While we're certainly happy to have them, though, there is a catch for Sonic x Shadow Generations players.Article continues belowSonic x Shadow Generations is two games in one(Image: Sega)The good news is that Sonic x Shadow Generations is a fantastic action-platformer that's actually two games in one, so it could be well worth picking up with your console on June 5.“Play as Shadow in a brand-new story campaign featuring never-before-seen abilities that prove why he’s known as the Ultimate Life Form,” Sega said via press release.‌“Also included is a complete remaster of the highly acclaimed Sonic Generations™, a time-traveling adventure featuring a greatest-hits collection of 3D and 2D Sonic stages, now with upgraded visuals and new bonus content."So what's the issue? As spotted on Sega's site (thanks, My Nintendo News), "The Nintendo Switch version cannot be upgraded to the Nintendo Switch 2 version," with the same applying to DLC.‌Given Nintendo has been showing upgrades for its own titles (albeit paid ones), it's a shame not to see SEGA follow suit, seemingly meaning you'll need to buy the entire game again — even if you already own it on the original Switch. That's a shame, and it'll be interesting to see if other games follow suit.Two Point Museum is also coming to Switch 2(Image: Two Point Studios/SEGA)SEGA has also announced that Yakuza 0: Director's Cut and Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S will arrive on Switch 2 on June 5, too, so the publisher has plenty of wares to share for your shiny new system.‌RAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army follows on June 18, while Two Point Museum is also slated for the Switch in 2025.We awarded the latter 4/5 in our review, saying:"Far from a stuffy school trip, Two Point Museum is a little familiar but that also adds to its cosiness. It’s the kind of game that has you preparing for “just one more expedition” before it’s 4 AM and you need to get to bed, and I love it for that."Article continues belowFor the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletters.‌‌‌
