As work continues on backwards compatibility improvements for Nintendo Switch games on Switch 2, over twenty games have now been fixed.
There are some heavy hitters on the list, including Crypt of the NecroDancer, Harvestella, Portal 2, Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin, and even Nintendo’s own Endless Ocean Luminous. Previously, these titles had issues on the new console. But after installing the latest system update that went out this week, things should work as intended.
The full list of July 2025 Nintendo Switch 1 games fixed on Switch 2 for backwards compatibility is as follows:

This is largely a good status update, but we do have a bit of news going the other way. Nintendo identified Batman: Arkham Knight, Darkstar One, and Welcome to Empyreum as titles that currently have issues on Switch 2. It’s possible that a future update could fix these problems. If we hear anything, we’ll be sure to let you know.
