Nintendo's upcoming Switch 2 boasts backward compatibility with the vast majority of existing Switch games. Recent testing reveals minor startup or in-game issues for approximately 222 titles, with solutions planned for many before launch. Around 75% of third-party titles (over 15,000) show "no issues." A few apps like Nintendo Labo and streaming services are confirmed incompatible. Launch is next week, alongside Mario Kart World and free updates for 12 existing titles.
