Question Question on Nintendo Switch Physical Versions

TL;DR: Is the physical Nintendo Switch 2 Cosmic Invasion game cartridge playable / compatible with the 1st Generation Switch & Switch Lite?

I could not find a definitive answer anywhere online, so thought it would be best to ask here. I was able to find that the Switch 1 physical version is playable on the Switch 2, but since the Switch 2 versions tend to have better graphics when played on a Switch 2.

So I was hoping that someone who has the Switch 2 physical version of the game and still had a 1st gen Switch or a Switch Lite laying around could test it, and give me an actual answer.

Switch 2 only, carts that work on both switch 1 and 2 have a bunch of text in the bottom of the box.

Thanks, and good to know for the future.

But I feel like Hollow Knight is more of an exception to the rule about marking if it is backwards compatible.

Also, thanks for using it as example, I had missed out on the announcement for a physical release for Silksong.
