Dave the Diver Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Launches with Free Upgrade, Enhanced Performance Following months of anticipation, Mintrocket's critically acclaimed adventure title "Dave the Diver" has officially launched its upgraded Nintendo Switch 2 Edition.

Now available on the Switch eShop, this enhanced version provides current owners with a complimentary upgrade, delivering refined graphics and greater technical performance tailored for the new generation of Nintendo hardware. Dave the Diver, developed by Mintrocket, first made waves with its unique blend of deep-sea exploration and restaurant management.

The freshly released Switch 2 Edition boasts higher resolution visuals and improved frame rates, ensuring an even smoother gameplay experience.

According to Nintendo’s official eShop listing, the core content of the game remains unchanged, preserving the depth and charm that earned it critical praise in 2023 while optimizing the title for the capabilities of the Nintendo Switch 2 platform. Players who already own Dave the Diver on the original Switch console can upgrade to the new edition completely free of charge.

Newcomers can purchase the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition for £16.99 in the UK or $19.99 in the US.

Notably, a limited-time discount on the North American eShop reduces the price to just $11.99 until November 13, giving even more reason for newcomers to dive in. Mintrocket initially announced the planned update back in June, and the studio has now delivered on its commitment by bringing these technical enhancements to players.

"We’re pleased to provide our Switch community with improved resolution and frame rates," stated a spokesperson for Mintrocket.

"Our goal is to ensure Dave the Diver offers the best experience possible on every available platform." Upon its original release, Dave the Diver quickly garnered industry acclaim, with reviewers appreciating its unique mechanics and engaging storytelling.

In a detailed review, Nintendo Life awarded the game an impressive 9 out of 10, citing it as one of the standout titles of 2023 and praising its ability to "rival Mario Wonder's all-out density and charm while doing something almost completely new." With the arrival of the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, both long-time fans and newcomers have an optimal opportunity to experience the underwater adventure at its best.

As the eShop continues to expand with enhanced editions for Nintendo Switch 2, Dave the Diver stands out as a must-play indie title that fully leverages the potential of Nintendo's latest hardware.
