Overview
- The Switch 2 Edition, which launched Thursday, adds seven Koopaling boss stages, a 60+ level Toad Brigade challenge set, and a new multiplayer hub called Bellabel Park.
- Outlets report that Bellabel Park supports up to 12 players online, yet most activities are local-only and the hub lacks matchmaking, limiting play without arranged groups.
- On Switch 2 the game renders at native 4K on a TV and 1080p on the handheld screen with a 60 FPS cap.
- Existing owners can upgrade for $20 or buy the bundle for about $80, and reviews span from high praise to lukewarm with a Metacritic average near 86, sharpening debate over Nintendo’s paid upgrade approach.
- Ahead of release, version 1.2.0 tweaked flower collection in the park for Switch 2 users and added Thai language support.
