Nintendo was eager to share all the Switch 2 launch games and a massive list of upcoming Switch 2 games to get everyone excited to get their hands on the console, but it also let us know that most original Switch games would also be playable on the Switch 2. We learned a lot about certain Switch 2 Edition games and how they would perform so much better on the Switch 2 vs. Switch, but that asterisk of most games running on the new hardware was never focused on in any of the presentations. We all have a massive library of Switch games at this point we would like to be able to carry forward, so lets shed some light on all the Switch games that wont work on the Switch 2.Giovanni Colantonio / Digital TrendsNintendo has broken down games that dont work on Switch 2 into two categories, with the larger one being games that have startup issues. These games simply wont boot on the Switch 2 as of now, though Nintendo claims to be working on a solution to get them working. For now, assume you wont be playing any of these titles on your Switch 2:112 OperatorA Boy and His Blob Retro CollectionAbyss Memory Fallen Angel and the Path of MagicACA NeoGeo Art of Fighting 2ACA NeoGeo Samurai Shodown IIACA NeoGeo The King of Fighters 95ACA NeoGeo The King of Fighters 96AirheadAlchemy GardenAnother Crabs TreasureArcade Archives Burger TimeArcade Archives Crime CityArcade Archives Dig DugArcade Archives Gradius IIIArcade Archives New Rally-XArcade Archives Pac-LandArcade Archives XeviousAstral FluxBaron: Fur Is Gonna FlyBatman: The Enemy WithinBeyond the Ice Palace 2Boot Hill BountiesBoot Hill HeroesBotany ManorBus Simulator 2023: City DriverCats Hidden in ItalyCats on DutyCrazy Strike Bowling EXDadish 2Darksiders GenesisDead by DaylightDeath ComingDOOM: EternalEggy PartyEnder Magnolia: Bloom in the MistEverdream ValleyEverspaceFables Mosaic: Snow WhiteFelix the Catfig.Final FantasyFitness BoxingFloor KidsFortniteFRAMED CollectionGal Guardians: Demon PurgeGang BeastsGas Guzzlers ExtremeGRID AutosportGuns Gore and CannoliI Got Isekaid Into A ShmupInferno 2Island Flight SimulatorJurassic Park Classic Games CollectionKids vs ParentsKill la Kill IFKorean Drone Flying Tour Jeju Island-1KosmokratsLibrary of RuinaLittle Nightmares Complete EditionManticore Galaxy on FireMexican Train Dominoes GoldMonster Loves You Too!MODEL Debut #nicolaMonster Energy Supercross The Official VideogameMUSYNXNASCAR RivalsNBA 2K18NBA 2K25Nelly Cootalot: The Fowl FleetNeverwinter Nights: Enhanced EditionNobody Saves the WorldNova-111Oddworld: Strangers WrathOK K.O.!
