Switch Paying for Game Upgrades is a scam and I'm tired of turning a blind eye to it.

I can give Jamboree a pass because the "Nintendo Switch 2 Edition" actually has DLC tact onto the cost

All of the Switch 2 Edition's that they showed off included new content, it's basically DLC similar to the example you have with FF7. All of the games that are simply getting performance enhancements (Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, Link's Awakening, Mario 3D World, etc) are free.

The PS5 enhanced upgrades are only $10, but you get an entirely new game sometimes. Like upgrading from The Last of Us Part II to the remake isn't just a straight port. This is a better option than paying full price again.

Same with Death Stranding. You could get the PS5 director's cut version for a small fee if you already owned the original.

Higher resolution/framerate shouldn't cost more.

"Enhanced Edition" for last-gen titles is pretty much all Sony has managed with PS5 - Nintendo has been selling two versions of the same game with Pokemon since 1998, so no surprise there

I find it dumb but it also doesn't make much difference to me, we could have just got nothing. Which is what I'll get for any paid upgrades that don't offer any substantial content. (although from the sounds of it some of these are accessible if you pay for online, which I do....still not sure I have the desire to play BotW again, or TotK ever though)
