So that's going to be an additional bonus. Yeah, keep us honest on that. But this is something where there isn't necessarily, I don't think, a... Yeah, that's only for Zelda.

I don't think there is necessarily an established practice on this, right? Some companies charge you... You see everything, right? To be clear, I was correct.

Okay, all right. So... There's no established practice on this yet, right? But we see it all the time, right? Because games are getting remastered all the fucking time. Sometimes there's just no options. It doesn't matter if you've got the old one. You've got to buy the new one all over again. Fuck you. Or it's like pay an extra $10 or whatever it is to upgrade your existing version.

Or we'll just upgrade you for free. They're experimenting with all these different price points.

and options and Nintendo I think is like kind of trying to find something kind of sort of in the middle where it's a $10 upgrade which I think is not unreasonable and with some exceptions for certain games if you've got the online pass so I think it's okay this is not I'm not going to throw a hissy fit over this one

Is this a list of games that are going to get the upgrade? Is that what we're doing?

Understood.
Understood.
I mean, the Zelda upgrades look good. That is a game that obviously is absolutely at the pinnacle of Switch gaming, but it is also a game that chugs at times, right? Because it's a miracle. I remember reading a thing when Zelda Breath of the Wild first came out and they had a bunch of developers from different companies looking at it going, I don't even know how they fucking did this.

It's a miracle this thing's running at all. let alone the performance that it has. But again, it's not perfect, right? And we've been seeing the Switch hit the ceiling of what it's capable of for a while now with some of these ports of Mortal Kombat and things that are just like, why did they even bother?
