More Switch Games Receive Switch 2 Backwards Compatibility Fixes

Overcooked is fixed, great! Would be cool to have a switch 2 version for that one

Good to see Nintendo still fixing a lot of these in batches like this.

Oh no! Not Truck Simulator USA!!! How will I pretend to sunburn my arm now?!

Still no Wildfire fix, which is a shame...

Also Ninja 5-0/Ninja Cop is completely unplayable due to emulation issues. Other Carbon Engine games work fine.

Only one of those I have is Resident Evil 5 but always nice to know they're continuing to work on it.

I actually have an unopened copy of Grandia HD Collection so that's good to know. Maybe. I wouldn't play many Switch 1 retail games on Switch 2 barring them having improvements but I could see myself doing that eventually, mostly for...the sake of it (especially with how large my Switch 1 backlog is).

Great to see them still cracking and not just made the compatability a marketing thing for launch :3

Does anyone know if tales of symphonia has been fixed for switch 2?

How are they pushing them out without a system update? There hasn’t been one that recently!

still no fixes for Strania or Raiden III and IV, am sad
at least Overcooked AYCE works on Switch 2 now, still baffled that they choose 2 for a Switch 2 upgrade instead of AYCE

And Borderlands 3 is still buggy as hell. It’s really surprising that such a major AAA title is still this broken and incompatible.

@whiteshadows86 they patch the game.

@Sindayl with the example you've given I'd be more surprised if it wasn't broken. Which doesn't help you in the slightest, I know, but I did just sigh a little bit when I read your comment cos that company has ended up being such a let down that seeing em let down others right annoys me now.

Wait did monster hunter stories have issues? I played it past month and worked perfectly fine for me. Still it's great they are fixing more games!

@Olrun
Did see a post a while back about some audio crackling issues on the original game or something to that effect, it may have been fixed since then.

On an aside is nice to see that the Grandia issues are something that they are aware of since from what i hear the publisher has "no plans" for a fix last time they were contacted so maybe it will be one of those games where the cause of the issue is something that ends up fixed due to a firmware update similar to how the FMVs not playing in Trails from Zero and Trails to Azure ended up fixed after a firmware update.

Either way nice to see BC still being addressed

@Sindayl It’s Ubisoft. They still haven’t (to my knowledge, anyway) fixed South Park: The Fractured But Whole, either.

Not to mention Borderlands 3 was a buggy mess even on S1, from what I understand.

@Olrun Past month, you say? Then you caught it after its issues were fixed, as Nintendo websites have stated it was updated back on March 31 to resolve the issues it had.

I've already got a (rather expensive) physical copy of the game on the way just in case, but I really hope it doesn't take a super long time for the Megadimension Neptunia VII issues to be fixed.

@XenobladeKisekiFan I regret to inform you that Tales Of Symphonia can't be fixed, it can only be less broken. But still no.

@dskatter

They actually did fix Fractured But Whole. I think it was finally addressed a few months ago, took a while though.

@XenobladeKisekiFan man I also want tales of symphonia fixed… I’ve been playing it on my switch 1 for now but would love to be able to play it on my 2 on the go

@ferryb001, @cvrator,
thanks for letting me know, I'm really enjoying arise currently and wanted to play this game too, hope it gets fixed in the future.

And only now, a year after launch, the switch 2 back compat library has become acceptable. Should've been native day one. Better now than never.

Still nothing for jurassic world evolution which is a shame as it would probably look nicer on the better hardware

Here's to hoping they fix Neptunia V. That game is still suffering from the same memory issues from the PC release, where it risks crashing if you have more than the alotted RAM for the game

@MoonKnight7 Seriously?

checks eShop

Well heck, I stand corrected! Thanks for that! Maybe there IS hope for Borderlands 3 after all. …maybe.

Pizza Tower needs a fix.

@XenobladeKisekiFan It's still a really really good game. Even in the state it's in it is worth playing in my opinion. I'm not going to tell you to go play it on the GameCube like some might, the Switch version was fine for me.

@cvrator is it playable on switch 2
its on sale right now and I really want to pick it up but only for switch 2.

@Sylamp I'm beginning to think Nintendo doesn't have any plans to fix these seeing as they've been broken for a year now yet they've been continually deprioritized.

Nintendo's solution: "Do you guys not have Switch 1s?"

Please give us paid Switch 2 Edition upgrades for the Xenoblade trilogy. Or just a resolution increase would be okay with me.

So glad the Resident Evil 5 audio issues in handheld mode are finally being acknowledged. I’ve noticed them since launch and it kind of turned me off of playing the game in handheld mode.

@FlyingPoliceBox I love that there's actually an @Nintendo user, who joined over 15 years ago, and hasn't made a single comment. I'm just picturing Miyamoto doomscrolling on NL every time he's on break at work, always lurking.

@abbyhitter The Xenoblade trilogy is currently screaming "Don't forget me!" at Nintendo, sadly to no effect.

@dskatter

Haha, yeah, there’s a small glimmer of hope!

ctrl f borderlands 3
nothing
I sleep.

@XenobladeKisekiFan Did a quick search and found some YouTube vids of people playing it. Seems mostly fine. Though do note some people reported crashing, and Nintendo lists it as unsupported (progression issues). But it does boot up and run as far as I can tell.

@Dm9982 thanks for searching for me, i really hope the game gets patched on switch 2 as I would love, if the entire tales series games are playable on switch 2.

@XenobladeKisekiFan yeah I’ve got the entire series that’s been released on Switch/Switch 2. Haven’t really dug into each, so I couldn’t tell you how each one runs.

I will say people have played through Symphonia on S2 completely. So it’s definitely doable. And while Nintendo lists as unsupported, it does still show up on S2 eShop, and does allow you to purchase. Games that flat out don’t run, have major crash issues, won’t even show on the eShop or be allowed to be purchased on S2. Doom 2016 fell into that category for awhile

@StorminNorman
Devs can’t patch their game to fix as it’s Nintendo’s compatibility layer that causes issues. That’s something only Nintendo can fix via the system updates (but don’t actually say what games are fixed!)

Even if devs could, they wouldn’t know what to do as they probably don’t have access to the compatibility layer and also messing with the Switch 1 version of games could break them for Switch users

Also I didn’t get a patch for Youngblood and I have it installed.

Still no fix for Kingdoms of Amalur: ReReckoning

That's good news, hope they eventually patch a fix for Grandia and Megadimension Neptunia

No fix for RE5.

Bioshock 1 gets no mention, can only imagine it's still weirdly unplayable on the Switch 2 while 2 and Infinite work perfectly on the NS2.
