Nintendo has reaffirmed its commitment to seamless backwards compatibility on the much-anticipated Nintendo Switch 2, releasing a fresh round of compatibility fixes for several prominent titles.
As the company continues to optimize the new hardware, recent firmware updates have targeted a range of Nintendo Switch games to enhance stability and user experience for those upgrading to Switch 2. Prominent among the newly patched titles is NieR: Automata, which now runs correctly on Switch 2 following Nintendo’s latest system update.
This action RPG from PlatinumGames has garnered acclaim since its release, and the fix ensures fans can enjoy uninterrupted gameplay on the next-generation hardware.
Other games addressed in this firmware update include DOOM and DOOM 2, Guardian Tales, Skies Above, Sugardew Island, Super Mega Baseball 4, and Timespinner.
These updates reflect Nintendo’s ongoing efforts to support a diverse library, from acclaimed indie titles to celebrated franchises available via the Nintendo eShop. Nintendo representatives have commented that resolving compatibility issues remains a top priority.
In official communications, they emphasized that these patches are part of a continuous process to guarantee the integrity and playability of the Switch catalogue on its successor platform. Ongoing issue tracking is also central to Nintendo’s approach.
Regarding Sports Party, company guidance indicates that a bug can occur if players wait approximately 30 seconds at the title screen, though progressing past this point prevents the issue.
Meanwhile, new user reports have identified progression problems with Resident Evil 4 and Blades of Darkness on Switch 2.
Nintendo is actively investigating these cases as part of its commitment to post-launch support. The company is also responding to feedback on lingering problems in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Pokémon Shining Pearl.
Following earlier firmware updates, some players still encounter difficulties even after the latest system patch (version 21.0.1), according to recent community reports.
Nintendo acknowledges these ongoing challenges and continues to prioritize resolution. Since the launch window for Switch 2, Nintendo has systematically rolled out updates, with cumulative patch notes outlining which titles have received compatibility enhancements.
This transparent approach allows players to stay informed about the status of both fully functional and problematic games within the expansive Nintendo Switch library.
With robust post-launch support and continuous firmware improvements, Nintendo strives to make the transition to the Switch 2 as user-friendly as possible for its global audience. For the complete list of titles addressed by recent updates and further information on ongoing compatibility initiatives, users are encouraged to check official Nintendo resources and news outlets for the latest developments.
