Learn which Nintendo Switch games may not be supported on or fully compatible with Nintendo Switch 2.

TL;DR there seem to be some games that are not compatible including the Nintendo Labo VR kit. 99% of games seem fine.

Interesting to see reasons for where compatibility is physically impossible:

  1. The console is a different shape and can’t fit the LABO frames
  2. The Joy-Con 2 are a different shape and can’t fit the Ring-Con or Leg Strap.
  3. The Jon-Con 2 don’t have the IR Motion Camera
  4. The Jon-Con 2 rumble is weaker than Joy Con

Even then, it’s not a full stop on incompatibility, it just means that you need to own Switch 1 joycons to pair to the system instead of using the new ones. So you can play Ringfit on Switch 2, if you have the old joycons and a way to charge them.

Can you connect joycon 1 to switch 2?

Edit : nevermind, someone answered in the comment just under this.

Sounds like they should be selling an adapter of sorts for the RingCon and Leg Strap
