Do not mix this with Switch 2

Nintendo’s product page covers the Switch release and mentions Switch 2 compatibility. The native Switch 2 edition, the 60 fps note and the upgrade pack are written on the Switch 2 page. Putting them here would answer the wrong question.

Two-player play is part of the game on this version as on the others. Crossplay follows the May 2026 announcement. A physical Silver Lining box also exists for Switch; the contents are on the buy page.
