Nintendo Switch 2: Here is the complete list of games incompatible with the console

A small disappointment will appear in some fans who await the Nintendo Switch 2. Everything will not work as well as expected, we give you all the details.

A few months ago, the Nintendo Switch 2 was still only a hypothetical name surrounded by Leaks. Now we are only a few days old from the release of the new hybrid console. Highly anticipated by fans of Big N, it already presents itself as a success, especially in Japan. But, there is no doubt that she will also convince the public internationally. However, despite a hoped -for feature that has been confirmed, a small downside darkens the future of those who would have liked total retrocompatibility.

It gets complicated for the Nintendo Switch 2

During the major presentation conference, the manufacturer finally confirmed that the Nintendo Switch 2 would benefit from a hyper -awaited functionality. Pursuing a Mid-Gen logic Already applied to the era of Game Boy Color, 3DS or Wii U, the new console will be fine retrocompatible with the previous one.

However, this feature will meet some limits, including the launch of the console. We will have to get an idea: the manufacturer has tested more than 15,000 including first-party, and a good number will not quite work as we hoped. On the one hand, Some games will not simply be accessible on June 5while others will meet In-game problems.

They will not be available from the launch of the Switch 2

This is only a tiny proportion of the 15,000 tested in total, but Over 130 games released on the first switch will not be able to operate on the Switch 2 when it comes out¹on June 5, 2025. In the lot, we will regret seeing very good games see their access delayed, like Doom Eternal or Little Nightmares. Furthermore, we will be surprised that Nintendo is deadlocked to launch on very popular service games that are Dead by Daylight and Fortnite. It will therefore be necessary to wait, while the manufacturer solves compatibility problems.
