No other prices are currently listed that I can see. Upgrade Pack cost is also not listed. Looks like Switch 2 first party games will be $79.99 USD going forward.

Fair, I didn't see that it was optional. Even so, having to pay more just for better frame rates and faster load times is a little silly considering it's a new console and that should be expected. I could understand if there were new higher res textures or quality of life improvements, but it doesn't seem to be that.

For Mario Party Jamboree, and Kirby and the Forgotten Land they are including additional content (a bit like adding Bowser's Fury or Lanky Kong). For the Zeldas they are adding second screen features.

I don't like the up sell but it is offering something, I can see them feeling they have a justification for the fee there.

Really I'm surprised they are offering the upgrade licences as cards they can sell in 3rd party stores, hopefully we see some competition there.
