The Nintendo Switch 2 Will be able to play most original switch games without problems when it starts on June 5th. According to an update from Nintendo, most big games and all titles for first-time providers (with a tiny exception) work on switch 2, although you may need an update or an old Joy-Con.
In AprilNintendo announced that over 120 Switch games would have compatibility problems in the upcoming Switch 2 console. At that time it was not clear what Nintendo meant when some games listed as start problems and other titles as compatibility problems in the game. It seemed as if Nintendo would say that a small part of the solid library of the console on the new machine would not work very well. Now we have more clarity and some good news for people who want to play Doom forever on your switch for 2 next month.
On May 27, Nintendo New Switch 2 released backwards compatibility lists In addition to a few more detailed information about what will work on the new console and will not work. The good news: just a first party Nintendo game, Nintendo Labo Toy-Con 04: VR Kit, is completely unplayable on Switch 2. The console manufacturer says that this is due to the fact that Switch 2 is too big and cannot “be inserted into the toy-Conr protective glasses”.
All other initial provider switch games, including the other Labo titles, work on Switch 2. Some titles like 1-2 switch And Ring -Fit adventure, Only works on Switch 2 if you connect an OG-Switch Joy-Con to the new console. It should also be considered Fitness boxes, Also published by Nintendo, an update needs to work on the Switch 2.
With regard to third -party providers, Nintendo tested more titles and worked with publishers to create new lists. 118 games are still than with “Start-up problems” on Switch 2. Meanwhile 50 games “Start on Nintendo Switch 2, but contain some compatibility problems in the game”, and 54 games have problems in the game, but a patch is planned to fix these problems with the start or shortly afterwards. In April the list of games with “start problems” 130. If you look at the lists, over 20 of these games are now updated and should work better on switch 2, including Doom forever And Pizza tower.
Interestingly, some software such as Hulu and Crunchyroll on Switch 2 are not compatible at all. It remains to be seen whether this is because in the future there will be new versions of these apps that will come to Switch 2, or that the companies behind these streaming apps simply do not see a point in supporting the new hardware.
Regardless of this, it is great to see that almost the entire Switch library is playable on Switch 2, even if I have to dig out an old Joy-Con to dig games like how how Nintendo Switch Sport.
