The Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Mega Dimension bundle lists the Switch 2 Edition game, Holo-X and Holo-Y apparel items, and additional story content. The Switch 2 Edition supplies the game’s performance and visual improvements; Mega Dimension is the separate story-and-apparel add-on. Nintendo also advertises a code for 100 Ultra Balls in the physical bundle.

What the bundle includes

Nintendo’s US bundle listing names three components:

  • Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, the full game for Switch 2.
  • Holo-X and Holo-Y Apparel Items, included with Mega Dimension.
  • Additional story content, the Mega Dimension DLC.

The physical bundle listing additionally advertises an insert with a code for 100 Ultra Balls. Nintendo says to redeem it through Mystery Gift after unlocking the Rewards feature in Mable’s Research. Redemption requires an internet connection and Nintendo Account, but not Nintendo Switch Online. Check the current listing for bonus eligibility and instructions. Nintendo’s US bundle listing

What the Switch 2 Edition and DLC each add

Switch 2 Edition: game and technical improvements

The Switch 2 Edition is the game, with improved performance, enhanced resolution, and smoother frame rates, according to Nintendo’s US product listing. These are edition-specific improvements, not Mega Dimension content.

Mega Dimension: story and apparel

Nintendo describes a story in which distortions appear around Lumiose City and lead to Hyperspace Lumiose. Hoopa can turn the distortions into portals; the player teams up with baker Ansha to gather Berries and make donuts that grant useful effects. Korrina and Team MZ later join the investigation. The DLC purchase includes the Holo-X and Holo-Y apparel items and additional story content. Nintendo’s Mega Dimension listing

Does Mega Dimension include the full game?

No. Mega Dimension is an add-on, not a standalone game: you need a copy of Pokémon Legends: Z-A to use it. Nintendo says it is compatible with both the Nintendo Switch version and the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition. The DLC story becomes available after completing the main story.
