Nintendo continues to improve the backwards compatibility of the Switch 2, releasing a new wave of compatibility updates following a system update on December 8. This batch of fixes addresses various issues some players were experiencing when trying to play their original Switch games on the newer hardware.
The addition of backwards compatibility has been a huge selling point for the Switch 2, allowing players to access the vast original Switch library. However, some games have encountered issues like graphical glitches, crashes, or progression bugs when run on the new system's architecture.
Featured Compatibility Fixes
The latest updates address 10 games, including some high-profile titles and fan favorites:
Resident Evil 4
Miitopia
Streets of Rage 4
Blade of Darkness
Game Dev Story
Little Nightmares: Complete Edition
Moji Yuugi
Solid Void – Nature Puzzles
Sports Party
Venture Towns
For titles like Resident Evil 4, the fix is crucial, as some users reported the game became unplayable or suffered severe visual bugs after a previous system firmware update broke its compatibility. The fix for Miitopia specifically addresses graphical issues that made the game appear strange on the Switch 2.
The Ongoing Fixes
While many games benefit from the Switch 2's superior hardware—with unpatched titles like The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening running smoother, and Switch 2 Editions of games like Tears of the Kingdom hitting 60fps—the compatibility layer still needs ongoing maintenance.
Nintendo previously flagged the popular 3D platformer A Hat in Time for having issues with game progression on the Switch 2, an issue that has been known since the console's launch. Other games, such as Borderlands 3 and Overcooked: All You Can Eat, are still listed as having compatibility problems.
As Nintendo continues to release these patches, the list of perfectly supported Switch games on the Switch 2 will continue to grow, making the new system an increasingly attractive purchase for those who want to enhance their existing library.
Are there any other specific Switch games you hope Nintendo releases a compatibility update for soon?
