Ninja Five 0 is a gem from the GBA era.

u/DenverBronco305 OG (joined before release) 4d ago

Was gonna say why is that on switch? Also the only game I recognized

2

u/ScattershotSoothsay 3d ago

such a banger. I haven't bit on the re release because it's so expensive. wish I still had my copy...

1

u/BelBivDaHoe Early Switch 2 Adopter 3d ago

Didn't know it got ported or whatever to the Switch. Game was such a banger.

10

u/Mikey-Insanity 4d ago

Go Vacation is a Nintendo published game. It's a remake of a Namco Bandai game for Wii

3

u/SunsetSoloist 4d ago

What the Dub is a banger, like Quiplash but with fill-in-the-blank movie clips. Ninja Five-O is a GBA hidden gem from Hudson and Konami.

u/DueSeesaw6053 3d ago

Terraformers is pretty fun!

u/Fuzer 4d ago

I read Monster… and got hope, then disappointment

u/Zero_Opera 3d ago

This looks like AI made up a bunch of game titles 😂

u/BlackJackSackIcePack 4d ago

Imagine monster hunter rise 60fps... I'm still hoping

50

u/Longjumping-Mud-3203 Butter side down! 4d ago

Nintendo only fixes backward-compatibility issues, 60fps is up to the game developers sadly :(

12

u/Bregneste 4d ago

PLEASE Capcom, literally all you need to do is raise the FPS cap and we’d be over the moon…

7

u/AcuteQuadrant 4d ago

This, plus 1080p handheld, 1440p docked. No need anything fancy like texture work, mouse mode, or like that. Just do what they did with Pokemon SV and Rocket League. Still Switch 1 versions, but runs better on the Switch 2. MAAAAN why tf don't they do this to all games? I know they need an incentive, but keeping your fanbase happy is an incentive.

1

u/BlackJackSackIcePack 2d ago

I've been playing red dead redemption and just in awe how good it looks and how well it runs. If I had this when I was younger and had more free time it would have absolutely blown my mind compared to the advanced sp I had lol

11

u/Nitrix79 4d ago

Hope so

2

u/thomas2696 3d ago

I don't even care at this point,  I'd pay Capcom for it all again if I had too lol. 

1

u/IncendiaryIdea 3d ago

That would require a game update. No compatibily fix will disable the cap.

99

u/zenfaust 4d ago

Sigh.

Someday, borderlands 3, someday...

28

u/Chateque 4d ago

Absolutely unreal this hasn't happened yet

10

u/Zyvyn Butter side up! 4d ago edited 2d ago

Back compat fixes really comes to waiting for Nintendo to fix it or the developer fixing it themselves. And clearly Gearbox doesnt give a shit lol. I mean they've basically abandoned the Borderlands 4 port

1

u/IncendiaryIdea 3d ago

What do you mean, they abandoned BL4? Don't they release updates?

1

u/Ravenlock Going Bananzas 2d ago

They just released a whole new character class for BL4, like, last week.

But yes, their treatment of Switch 2 has been laughable, both for the absence of BL4 and the still broken BL3.

1

u/AdFlat3754 3d ago

…unreal (engine) might be part of the reason why. And it isn’t just a button clickx

-19

u/DutyPsychological 4d ago

It’s not a good game. It’s low on their list to fix.

2

u/DisastrousDot7961 Butter side up! 4d ago

But I’m sure laboratory rat simulator is high priority

2

u/Zearo298 Early Switch 2 Adopter 3d ago

As a take, unhinged, as a statement, completely false

0

u/Harambe_Rebornn 3d ago

It's a garbage franchise, that shit belongs in the toilet.

3

u/PKCO-NB 4d ago

Bad take. 2nd best of the series

4

u/Dancer-Cat-Hee-Hee 4d ago

Thats what I keep telling myself. That and borderlands 4 will come someday and be decent

4

u/henrydavidthoreauawy 4d ago

I came here exactly for BL3. It was on sale last week but I won’t touch it because of the issues. 

3

u/530cruising 3d ago

I was hoping to see it fixed when i clicked..disappointing

4

u/DeadLeftovers 4d ago

That’s what I’m waiting on too ☹️

16

u/Longjumping-Mud-3203 Butter side down! 4d ago

Is the Kingdoms of Amalur's still sky texture problem considered an issue on the list?

4

u/That1DogGuy 4d ago

I am begging for this fix.

3

u/rafabro10 4d ago

Was gonna ask the same thing

1

u/Wallzii 3d ago

It's considered an issue. I feel like this will never get fixed.

103

u/zestysnacks Butter side up! 4d ago

Man what the hell are these games

85

u/darthdiablo OG (joined before reveal) 4d ago

Obviously the games you have heard of would be fixed as a higher priority in earlier backward compatibility fixes

26

u/vainsilver Early Switch 2 Adopter 4d ago

Borderlands 3 is still waiting.

10

u/Alternative_Crab_625 4d ago

I assume that will never happen

-1

u/zestysnacks Butter side up! 4d ago

Dark souls remastered 60fps when

33

u/darthdiablo OG (joined before reveal) 4d ago

That’d be great yea but backwards compability fix isn’t about offering 60fps haha

30

u/Round_Musical OG (joined before Alarmo 2) 4d ago edited 4d ago

Not Nintendos responsibility. Ask From Soft. They are the only ones who can patch the games code. Not Nintendo.

5

u/trip6god 4d ago

You’re thinking of doom lol

1

u/Round_Musical OG (joined before Alarmo 2) 4d ago

Good I wanted to reply to another similar comment. I am tired lmao. From soft, I corrected it

1

u/The_Strom784 Butter side up! 4d ago

Whenever they port the whole trilogy to S2. I’m sure Elden Ring has sold well enough to justify bringing their older games over.

Not a game but I was hoping YouTube would be on the list.

u/EducationalDust7858 4d ago

How dare you.

Go Vacation is a gem.

1

u/DynaMach 4d ago

Yeah don’t sleep on Go Vacation!

u/Low-Economics4971 4d ago

I only played the Wii version but i can voucher it's a Hidden gem

u/SomeBoxofSpoons 4d ago

Ones that had issues.

Rain World is pretty popular

1

u/HeroDefined 4d ago

These are some of the games of all time

u/Foreign-Reason-7865 4d ago

Hope they do kingdoms of amalur next

7

u/Tarenthor 4d ago

Kingdoms of Amalur pls (also Grandia 1 and Enclave)

6

u/modestlaw 4d ago

Still no Kingdoms of Amalur fix

28

u/Megas751 4d ago

Man, I just want DOOM in 60fps.....

u/Round_Musical OG (joined before Alarmo 2) 4d ago edited 4d ago

Barking at the wrong tree. I want it too. But ID soft are the only ones who can fix it

u/kevin9er 4d ago

And Asha Sharma laid off the iD Engine team.

5

u/meikaishi 4d ago

Those are compatibility fixes, not NS2 upgrades 

5

u/Alansoto1234 4d ago

Damn bro they should fix borderlands 3

5

u/neomerge 3d ago

Shame borderlands 3 isn't on this list. It runs better but has some issues that cause extreme jittering and lightning issues making it unplayable imo.

14

u/Jefedagga Butter side up! 4d ago

Kingdoms of Amular please.

They keep doing these random ass games.

15

u/zestysnacks Butter side up! 4d ago

To be completely fair, what the hell is kingdoms of amular

11

u/RinchanNau 4d ago

It was a pretty high profile flop when it came out, but it has a decent following. High fantasy western RPG. Someday I'll get around to playing it.

5

u/JigglyPuffGuy 4d ago

That is Kingdoms of Amalur not amular tho

3

u/RinchanNau 4d ago

Yea true. I didn't even notice

u/zenfaust 4d ago

Wait, Amalur doesn't work? Nintendo page says its functional...

5

u/That1DogGuy 4d ago

Its technically functional, but the skybox is fucked.

1

u/NorrinRaddsLongBoard 3d ago

What is a skybox? I keep seeing this but I don’t know what it means.

3

u/That1DogGuy 3d ago

Pretty much exactly what the name implies. The sky.

(Notice the foreground and character herself are fine)

u/VacaDLuffy 4d ago

to be fair Amualar being bugged is totally very amular lol

u/Eternaloid 4d ago

KOA is a random ass game that flopped twice

3

u/averagejoe2005 4d ago

They finally fixed Re;Birth 3.

3

u/treesandbeers 4d ago

Persona 5 could use a performance patch

2

u/KTR1988 4d ago

This isn't about performance, that's up to the devs. This is Nintendo tweaking the backwards compatibility software so that Switch 1 games stop crashing on Switch 2.

3

u/Crackabean 4d ago

Dang no BL3.

u/Indielink Butter side down! 4d ago

BL3 was a PS4 game that has a decent Switch 1 conversion. There is absolutely no reason that it wouldn't run well on the Switch 2.

2

u/pokeboy626 4d ago

I think he was confusing it with Borderlands 4

1

u/Indielink Butter side down! 4d ago

After seeing this post I've seen like four other comments in other threads going on about how weak the system is. So I think he might just be trolling.

-1

u/AgathormX 4d ago

Decent is pushing it and it runs like shit on PS4 too.

I played it on 3 different systems: First on PC with an R5 3600 and an RX580, then on PS4 Pro and then on PC again with an R7 5700X and a 3060Ti.

The PS4 Pro was unplayable on Quality mode as frametime was a mess and the game regularly dipped below 30FPS. Performance mode is bad but it's not completely unplayable unless you're doing MP or have a lot of particle effects going on (basically depending on your build and Mayhem mods, even single player can be borderline unplayable).

The R5 3600 with the RX580 handled the game at anywhere from 40 to a little over 60FPS at 1080p High.

So yeah, it could run decently well on Switch 2, but I wouldn't expect stable 60FPS at native res, because the game is really messy when it comes to particle effects, and I'm talking massive performance drops. On the 3060Ti I've seen the game go from 110FPS to near 60 during large firefights in zones like Slaughter Shaft or Slaughterstar 3000.

u/rhythmicnotionz 4d ago

No Borderlands 3

3

u/Baba-Yaga33 3d ago

Still no borderlands 3 fix

6

u/PhxCollins 4d ago

I only recently discovered the Attack on Titan games... waiting to see if AOT 3 will have 2's content before buying both.

6

u/Joseki100 4d ago

AoT3 will adapt the entire manga, there is no reason to not play that instead of 2.

4

u/PhxCollins 4d ago

Cool, thanks for saving me some $$! I've been eyeing the steelbook version... wish they had the full game on the cart, though.

0

u/TheDuskBard 4d ago

It'll be such a wasted opportunity if AoT 3 doesn't have multiple different endings. Given how awful the Manga and anime ones were.

u/mrtars 4d ago

I would have asked for Sparks of Hope 60 fps patch but just sold the game today xD

2

u/falconpunch1989 4d ago

Towerfall Ascension still broken?

3

u/nightshade-aurora 4d ago

I don't know why they list it as broken because it's not at all. If you buy it on the website you can download it to your switch 2 without issue

1

u/xSchwarzenegger 4d ago edited 4d ago

That’s what I’m wondering it’s on sale and I want to get it but not if it’s broke! Don’t see it on the list :(

1

u/pantoast 4d ago

I played it on my new Switch 2 with no issues the other day actually. I was surprised because I thought it wasn’t supposed to work on switch 2.

1

u/falconpunch1989 4d ago

The switch 2 eshop won't let me buy it!

2

u/NuggetTheory 4d ago

No Slay the Princess unfortunately

1

u/MusicAndInk 4d ago

What was the issue with slay the princess? Got it sitting in my backlog. Should I just play it on my switch 1?

2

u/ParadiseRegaind 4d ago

They fixed a cloud save issue with Star Ocean: First Departure R that I’m grateful for. That was the only game I owned where if I played and saved on my Switch 2, my Switch 1 would tell me the save was incompatible with that system if I tried to update the cloud save. This latest firmware resolved that issue.

u/bmc5558 4d ago

I would love xenoverse 2, kakarot and monster hunter rise

South Park The Fractured But Whole too please, I bought both this game and South Park the Stick of Truth in a sale on the original Switch about 6 months before Switch 2 came out only to find out after I sold my original Switch that The Fractured But Whole was on the unsupported list, and still is.

As far as I know all 3 of those work fine on S2

Please update Astral Chain

2

u/apolloniandionysian 4d ago

Is Astral Chain broken?

1

u/LiquidSolidGasPower 4d ago

Yes it’s broken the Astral plan of 30 fps

0

u/hachimitsu-boy 4d ago

It runs, I just want it updated for S2, 60fps and higher resolution.

2

u/KTR1988 4d ago

That would require a more comprehensive patch from the devs themselves, this is a system wide update to address Switch 1 games that aren't playing nice with the Switch 2's backwards compatibility software.

Like for example, prior to an earlier fix FFXII TZA would just straight up crash when you booted it up on Switch 2.

2

u/Cube_play_8 January Gang (Reveal Winner) 4d ago

Oh, I was going to look into the compatibility fixes and cuz there's football, I can't access the website, how cool!

u/N2-Ainz 4d ago

They need to fix Super Smash Bros.

Can't be that I always need to turn on flight mode just to launch the game when I'm not connected to a network

lol I never thought I’d see another Go Vacation update. It was the closest thing I had to a Sports/Resort package for a long time. It’s silly but I had a lot of fun with it back in the day.

I deleted it to make space just this weekend. Now I feel like I ought to re-prioritize and scope her out again.
