This post shows the European copy of Rune Factory Guardians of Azuma Switch 2 edition. It works on Switch 1 & 2. In the box there is no download code of any kind, the Switch 1 version and Switch 2 upgrade are on the game card.
The Switch 2 edition is a red Switch 2 card which works on Switch 1 & 2. If you put it in a Switch 1 it plays the Switch 1 version, put it in a Switch 2 then it plays the Switch 2 version
I came here to see if everyone hated the Switch 2 box art as much as me. It seems like yes. It’d be great if it was reversible without all the garbage text on it (especially since the cases don’t seem to be transparent), but that’s probably too much to hope for…
I imagine they're trying very hard to make sure they don't get angry customers buying a Switch 2 game for their Switch 1 by making the red banner so much more obviously different.
I hope it's something they phase out a year or two from now when that's less of an issue

Using the switch 2 version let's you play the switch 1 version on the switch apparently
The Switch 2 edition should work on OG Switch if you purchase the new version preemptively.
