Nintendo Switch 2 Game Compatibility Issues
Nintendo has officially unveiled a list of incompatible games for the upcoming Switch 2. This news, initially revealed during a Nintendo Direct, has surprised many gamers. The list includes some unexpected titles, raising questions about backward compatibility.
Unexpected Incompatibilities
Among the surprising omissions are several Nintendo titles relying on specific hardware. For example, Nintendo Labo Toy-Con 04: VR Kit is unplayable due to the Switch 2's inability to integrate with the VR goggles. Several games requiring the original Joy-Cons, like Ring Fit Adventure and WarioWare Move It!, also face compatibility challenges, needing wireless connections instead of the console's built-in slots. This incompatibility extends to streaming apps such as NicoNico, ABEMA, Hulu, Crunchyroll and InkyPen.
Beyond Nintendo's First-Party Titles
The issues aren't limited to Nintendo's own games. Hundreds of third-party titles are experiencing compatibility problems, impacting major franchises like Mega Man and Just Dance. Nintendo has acknowledged these issues, assuring fans that solutions are being actively explored. A full list of affected games is available on the official Nintendo website.
While some incompatibilities are understandable, the extent of the issues has raised concerns. The specifics behind some of the less obvious compatibility problems remain unclear, but Nintendo continues to update its official resources with the aim of providing a clear picture of the current situation for users.
