For many Switch 2 owners, this week belongs to Kirby Air Riders, but the delightful racing game isn’t the only big Nintendo-published game releasing tomorrow. The physical edition of the newly minted Game of the Year nominee Hades 2 launches exclusively on Nintendo consoles November 20. If you still need to preorder a copy, you may still be eligible for release-day delivery from Amazon with a Prime membership.
Hades 2’s physical edition retails for $50 and is in stock at Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Target, and GameStop. It’s packaged in a Nintendo Switch 2 box, but the game card is also fully compatible with original Switch consoles. The $50 price point is $20 higher than the digital version that released on the eShop and PC in September, but game collectors will be happy to know all of the data is on the card.
$50 | Releases November 20
The Nintendo Switch 2 version of Hades 2 runs at 120fps when docked and 60fps in handheld mode. Both modes are displayed in 1080p resolution. The Switch 2 edition also has improved textures, lighting, and visual effects. On original Switch, Hades II runs in 720p with stable 60fps performance. If you already have a save file on PC, you can transfer it to your Nintendo console.
The sequel to the wildly popular 2020 roguelite action-RPG exited early access September 25 as a timed exclusive for Nintendo consoles and PC. Remarkably, Supergiant Games’ sequel is even better than the excellent original. It earned a rare 10/10 in GameSpot’s Hades 2 review.
If you want to play Hades 2 and the new Kirby game on launch day, Amazon is also offering release-day delivery for Kirby Air Riders. The new racing game retails for $70 and is only playable on Nintendo Switch 2.
