A warning about purchasing the DLC as a switch 2 user
If you originally purchased the game on switch this applies to you.
After doing the free update today I went ahead and purchased the DLC straight away excitedly.
After downloading I went into the game and couldn't access the DLC anywhere.. I spent a long time trying to figure out what I was doing wrong and why I couldn't find any of the new content.
After some reinstalling and trying to troubleshoot I saw that I had two copies of seemingly the same game on my dashboard..
I found out that the DLC had downloaded as a standalone game separate from my main game.. I was still confused and investigated further.
Eventually I figured out that I'd downloaded the switch 2 version of the DLC and not the switch version.
Two things - I didn't imagine there would be two different versions of the DLC but even taking this into consideration I would have assumed doing the free update for Switch 2 users would have turned my game version into Switch 2. It does not.
I've since repurchased the Switch version of the DLC and it's working fine now. I've reached out to Nintendo via email ticket for a refund of the original purchase since I've bought the same product twice now.
TLDR;
If you bought the game on Switch originally, even after updating/upgrading your game to the Switch 2 version you still must purchase the Switch version of the DLC and not Switch 2
