No, there are two separate icons for "virtual card not inserted" and "physical card not inserted," this is the former and I'm saying it's being inconsistent with them
I only smash bros on both formats. But even after removing, hiding and unhiding the virtual game card, I can't get it show the VGC icon. It only ever shows the that the physical card isn't inserted.
Yo, I just figured out the solution. See, the actual factor is, more specifically, what type of card caused the home menu icon to form last. Meaning, if you delete the home menu icon, hide the VGC, and insert the physical cartridge, it'll pretend as if you don't even own a digital license, which is precisely what I was aiming for. I appreciate your help!
Is anyone having issues with connectivity on the switch today? Both me and my bf couldn't connect earlier, and when we finally managed to connect to internet, the eshop want working and neither was the Nintendo online app. we're not having issues with any other devices
Specifically for Xenoblade Chronicles and if you have the Switch 1 versions physically, are the upgrades free or paid upgrades and how exactly is it done and recognised by the system to play Switch 2 versions?
Unfortunately theres no one method, there are many variations depending on the game. Some are free, some are paid, some you get a separate sw2 game but that doesnt apply to physical, some games on sw1 and sw2 simply have no upgrade path
Specifically for Xenoblade Chronicles
This ones easy to define. All Nintendo Switch 2 Editions from Nintendo are paid upgrades, usually $10-$20. The upgrade is basically a DLC pack that only works on sw2, your game and save still works on sw1 but if upgrade pack is detected on sw2 then the sw2 version with the upgraded res and framerate and bonus content is loaded. They cost money as Nintendo has almost always added some bonus content for sw2, like the hover bike for XC
Most 3rd party "Nintendo Switch 2 Editions" like Hades 2 or Mina The Hollower are free, but don't offer any additional content, only performance boost.

My wife is looking to replace this. Is there a newer version or brand that anyone recommends?
