Nintendo has released a website for players to check the compatibility status of certain games on the Nintendo Switch 2. Through the site, you can check if certain games are supported or unsupported on the system.
Most games, such as Kirby Star Allies, Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Splatoon 3, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, are fully supported on the Nintendo Switch 2. However, games like NieR: Automata – End of the YorHa Edition are unsupported. In NieR‘s case, it’s due to issues with progression. For more detailed information on which games are supported and which aren’t, the Nintendo Switch 2 compatibility website is now open.
The next major game from Nintendo is Kirby Air Riders, releasing on November 20. Recently, Nintendo held the first round of the Global Test Ride for the game, for players hoping to try it out. The next round will take place on the following dates and times:
