@Henmii Your sidenote is normal. Switch 1 physical + upgrade pack route means while you get the performance improvements of the Switch 2 version, the load times are slower than the Switch 2 version directly because you're running the game from a Switch 1 cart.
Switch 1 game carts transfer data at the speed of litigation, whereas NS2 game carts transfer at 400 MB/s, which is almost as fast as SATA SSDs. Because I never buy NS1 game carts to play, I forget there are still people out there who do.
Any time you're buying a Switch 1/2 game physically that has a NS2 Edition, buy the NS2 Edition. It still runs the NS1 version on a Switch, but also runs the NS2 version at speeds of 400 MB/s on a Switch 2.

@Henmii
Ya, the text actually says it includes both the NS1 and NS2 versions, placed as an informational disclaimer so people know the cart actually has both versions on cart and can play both versions depending which system you insert it in.
Lesson learned, right? Personally I really love digital- well, for several reasons but one of which is the insane transfer speeds. If you think NS2 carts are fast at 400 MB/s, try playing games running from micro SD express that run at 900 MB/s, or Switch 2 internal memory which is 2,100 MB/s. Compare that with NS1 cartridges which run at 60-90 MB/s, which to me is an exercise in frustration.
