Commitment to Backward Compatibility
Nintendo has said that the Switch 2 do not have full compatibility with all titles. The company made it clear from the get-go. Some games may not work due to hardware-specific features. Also, certain titles have accessories that do not work with the new device.
However, Nintendo has been trying to fix these issues. The current and upcoming compatibility patches show their clear commitment. With this, Switch 2 users can expect continued improvements with new updates likely to arrive soon.
