The Nintendo Switch 2 arrives on June 5 with nearly full backward compatibility—but not every title makes the cut. Here's what works, what doesn't, and what's being patched.

UPDATE 28/05/25: Nintendo has updated its list of backwards compatible games for the Nintendo Switch 2 and it has removed some of the games that were previously marked as incompatible. There’s now 118 games that have start-up issues, 50 games that have some in-game compatibility issues and 54 games that will be resolved by launch or shortly after.
