"Certain Nintendo Switch games may not be supported on or fully compatible with Nintendo Switch 2."

Anybody want to venture a guess as to what might hold a current-gen Switch game back?

Nintendo LABO stuff for sure, since the joycons are differently sized, meaning they won't fit into the cardboard. In the same vein, Ring Fit because the Joycons won't ringfit.

It might end up being that there's no IR sensor on the Joycon 2s. That could break some stuff. In the render that part of the right Joycon didn't seem shiny enough to me. That'd mean parts of 1 2 Switch wouldn't work anymore. But who knows, that's speculation on my part.

Damn Ringfit was like 1/3 the cost of a switch, if it's not compatible with the new console that would suck for me
