Some original Switch games will run better on Switch 2; some won’t run at all

Summary
According to reports, the newly announced Nintendo Switch 2 will feature enhanced versions of some Switch games, supporting higher resolutions and additional features.
Twelve first-party Switch titles will also benefit from free updates to enhance them for the Switch 2, with Nintendo stating that the updates will vary for each game.
Compatibility testing is still ongoing for the Switch 2, with all first-party games passing basic compatibility testing, bar one, the Nintendo Labo Toy-Con 04 VR Kit, which will not work due to the size differences between the older and newer models.
The Japanese gaming giant has also said that a swath of other Switch games “may improve performance or add support for features such as GameShare”.
However, there is no guarantee that non-updated Switch titles will benefit from the Switch 2’s improved hardware, with more testing needed.
