The Nintendo Switch 2 launches next week, on June 5, and one of its big selling points is that it will be backward compatible with original Switch games. Nintendo recently updated its database of Switch games that have been tested on the new console, and while most of the games work without any issue, there are hundreds that have some problems. 

Nintendo’s page for the compatibility test for Nintendo Switch games on the Switch 2 was updated on Tuesday. More than 15,000 games have been confirmed as having no issues when playing on the new Switch, but those that haven’t been verified will need some additional updates or simply will never work with the Switch 2. 

According to the list, Nintendo confirms that these games and apps will not work on the Switch 2: 

• Nintendo Labo Toy-Con 04: VR Kit

Wouldn’t it be nice to have one of your monthly expenses remain stable for a while? Phone plans have seemed tumultuous recently, which is why T-Mobile’s five-year price guarantee with new Experience plans was such a surprise when it was announced earlier this year. With costs increasing on everything, and knowing that phone plans often come with strings attached, we’ve looked into the details of this deal so you can start saving on your next phone plan.

T-Mobile’s price guarantee applies to the Experience plans but not the Essentials plans. The first tier is Experience More, which starts at $90 per month for a single line and includes Unlimited Premium data and text. It also offers 60GB of high-speed hotspot data (then unlimited at 3G speeds), Apple TV Plus, Netflix (with ads), Hulu (with ads) and is upgrade-ready every two years. If you need three lines, you’ll get the third one free. This plan includes five-year price protection and is $5 less when you sign up with AutoPay.

Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.

Experience Beyond is the next tier, which starts at $105 per month and offers unlimited talk and text, plus 250GB of high-speed hotspot data (then unlimited at 3G speeds). Every streaming service listed above is included, as well as smartwatch and tablet lines starting at $5 per month. Beginning in July, Experience Beyond customers will get T-Satellite service included in the plan. (Experience More customers can get T-Satellite free through the end of 2025, then pay $10 per month as an add-on.) Other perks include upgrade eligibility every year and 30GB of high-speed data in Mexico and Canada. T-Mobile will knock off an extra $5 per month when you sign up for AutoPay, which means you’ll pay just $100.

Families can sign up for two lines and get the third line free, which can save them up to 20% when switching from other carriers. A quick reminder that the five-year price guarantee applies only to the Experience plans and doesn’t apply to other T-Mobile plans.

Looking for more ways to save on your phone bill but aren’t sure if this deal is right for you? We’ve rounded up a list of the best phone plans so you can view all of your options.

Why this deal matters

T-Mobile’s five-year price guarantee is a great way to have a consistent phone bill that can also save you on data fees and subscriptions. Both eligible Experience plans are an additional $5 off when you sign up for AutoPay. With so many price increases on other basics, this is a great deal for anyone who wants to save on a recurring monthly expense.

The biggest private instant messaging app in the world is finally available on Apple’s widescreen mobile devices. Meta’s social media, instant messenger and voice-over-IP app, WhatsApp, is now compatible with iPadOS.

WhatsApp for iPad will continue to let you make audio and video calls with up to 32 people, share your screen and utilize both of the built-in cameras on your device to allow you to quickly communicate with others.

Several new features take advantage of the iPad’s hardware features to help you multitask easier than ever before. You can use Stage Manager to view other apps on your screen while checking your messages, Split View to send texts while browsing the web and Slide Over to conduct research while on a group call.

WhatsApp is also compatible with iPadOS Magic Keyboard and the Apple Pencil peripheral device. The iPad app will sync with WhatsApp instances across your iPhone, Mac and other devices, keeping all of your messages in one place.

The app isn’t the most secure end-to-end encryption-based messaging service, but it’s free — and you likely know people that already use this app as their primary means of communication. WhatsApp is used by more than two billion monthly users, making it the most popular private instant messenger app in the world.

By shipping on iPad, the app will broaden its user base and allow people already using WhatsApp to access their messaging history across a larger number of devices.

If you have an iPad, you can download WhatsApp for free on the App Store right now.
