Here Are the Switch Games That Have Problems Running on the Switch 2

The Switch 2’s backward compatibility is not flawless.

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
