It costs 3,169 yen for the game, or 475 yen to upgrade, so expect to pay a little extra for the Switch 2 magic when it hits the eShop in your region.<\/p>\n<p>So, what does the Switch 2 Edition bring to Braid? 120fps gameplay (if your TV supports it), even more developer commentary, and 1080p handheld and 4K docked resolution. Very nice.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve never played Braid before, the critically-acclaimed puzzler came to Switch back in 2024 as an enhanced rerelease of the 2008 indie classic. The Anniversary Edition features lovely painted pixel art, additional challenges, and developer commentary.<\/p>\n<p>The game&#8217;s creator, Jonathan Blow, spoke about the rerelease&#8217;s sales just a few months after it launched, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2024\/07\/braid-anniversary-edition-sales-have-been-utterly-terrible-says-creator\">calling them &#8220;utterly terrible&#8221;<\/a>. Perhaps this Switch 2 Edition will give the numbers a boost.<\/p>\n<p>His next game, <strong>Order of the Sinking Star<\/strong>, is coming to PC sometime in 2026.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><em>Will you be grabbing Braid on Nintendo Switch 2 when it arrives?
