Important information about compatibility of Nintendo Switch games with Nintendo Switch 2

[Deleted member 386808]

In addition to Nintendo Switch™ 2 games, Nintendo Switch 2 can play compatible physical and digital games released on the Nintendo Switch™ system. I think it's an important thing because you'll definitely want to play your old Switch games on the Switch 2 .

They have said that Switch 1 softwares were backward compatible with the Switch 2 for months.

As for the games requiring a Switch 1 joycon I can understand, like DS games not playable on the DSi due to the lack of a GBA port.

No one cares about the games that require a normal joycon, so its not really news.

How can you be so sure that absolutely nobody cares about these games?

Well you don't need to buy a game again. Just think buy new switch and have to pay for all games you had!

Let's just hope they go the Wii U route and have most of the multiplayer games controllable via switch 1 joycons.

Knowing Nintendo now. I highly doubt it

It would be a mere crumb to us plebs. But it's alright... I haven't paid for a switch game in years.

I forgot the wiimotes were playable on it.

I miss asymmetrical multiplayer.
