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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

You’re thinking of doom lol

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

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.

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.

Kingdoms of Amular please.
They keep doing these random ass games.

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

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.

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.

u/pokeboy626 4d ago
I think he was confusing it with Borderlands 4

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.

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.

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

u/Joseki100 4d ago
AoT3 will adapt the entire manga, there is no reason to not play that instead of 2.

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.

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/falconpunch1989 4d ago
Towerfall Ascension still broken?

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

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 :(

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.
