These problems are being ‘investigated’
The Nintendo Switch 2 will be here in just a few months, and it’ll be mostly backwards compatible with the original system’s games.
The keyword here is mostly because there’s multiple dozens of games that won’t run or have issues on the Switch 2 — including a number of fighting games.
Nintendo recently shared two reports with lists of titles that have start up issues and those that have compatibility issues on the new hardware.
Big titles like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Mortal Kombat 1, Dragon Ball FighterZ, Samurai Shodown, and Guilty Gear Strive have all managed to avoid the list, but there’s still a handful of other fighters that may need updated from SNK and Capcom.
For SNK, four of their ACA NeoGeo classic titles won’t start on the Switch 2 with Art of Fighting 2, Samurai Shodown 2, The King of Fighters ’95, and The King of Fighters ’96.
Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late[cl-r] is also on the list of games that have start up issues too.
The Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection will apparently start, but has some in game issues.
As to what these problems are, we don’t know, as all they say for each of them is “this issue is being investigated.”
In the grand scheme of things, that’s pretty good that this is all there’s problems with, however, it’ll still be a bit annoying for those who own the titles if they are not fixed to run properly.
We also have Street Fighter 6 to look forward to on the Switch 2 when it launches on June 5, 2025.
