I’m really curious to see how the eShop will work for purchasing old games. Fingers crossed they make it easy to transfer or play what we already own! What games are you hoping will work without any hiccups?
So, it looks like Switch 2 is gonna have some backward compatibility, but not all games are guaranteed to work smoothly. It’s a bummer to see some titles on the list that might have issues. I mean, who wants to invest in a new console only to find out their favorite games are glitchy? It’s cool that Nintendo is being upfront about it, but I hope they find a way to make the transition easier for everyone. I guess we’ll just have to keep our fingers crossed that the eShop will handle things well for those of us looking to carry our old library over. What games are you guys worried about not working?
