Why?

Maybe they are getting a lot of calls if their switch hentai games will work on switch 2?

 

[Mister Wolf]

Everything but Xenoblade upgrades.

I'd rather Nintendo just create a standard for cross-gen purchasing.

Some games get automatic free updates for Switch 2 support (4K + better fps), some games have paid or free upgrades as a different SKU on the eShop, and some games have two totally different versions that appear completely identical, but are actually different. The whole system is fucked.

Microsoft nailed this ages ago. And while Sony isn't perfect, it's at least clear what you're buying. Nintendo needs to get their shit together.

Its even worse than that, this website doesn't even give special consideration to games that got patches or Switch 2 upgrades, literally just lists the same info that's on the eShop page - compatible / not compatible.

Very strange.

I called but this guy didn't pick up

This is exactly what I'm talking about. I just went on that compatibility site and searched Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection. It gave me this:

Seems compatible with the Switch 2, so I click the "View product information" button, and it takes me here:

Seeing as how this game is supported by the Switch 2, you might go ahead and purchase it.

Congratulations. You just bought the inferior Switch 1 edition, with limited online play, worse input latency, and worse performance. Nowhere on the page does it even suggest there's a Switch 2 version. And if you buy the Switch 1 version, there is no upgrade path, so you're just fucked.

This happened to me. I searched for the collection on the eShop to pre-order it, and only the Switch 1 version came up. Because it said it was compatible with Switch 2 (in the same way Splatoon 3, which got a 4K and increased frame rate update, is compatible with Switch 2), I went ahead and purchased it.

Welp, fuck me, turns out there was a secret Switch 2 version that didn't pop up.

Oh, and by the way, even if you do buy the Switch 2 version, there is literally no acknowledgeable difference between the two once they're installed. The S2 version doesn't have the red "Switch 2" banner on it, and it doesn't say "Switch 2 Edition". They both appear 100% identical on your system.

Is this the Switch 1 or Switch 2 version? Guess what, there's no way to tell!

No music. Same issue with Raiden III.

Borderlands 3 runs at 60fps on Switch 2 but has a weird issue with dimming.

insanely low effort website. it doesn't even tell you if a game is enhanced or not. it just says it behaves correctly when you look up Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury for example... even tho that game got one of the best free upgrades of any back compat game.

so, they really should at least add info on if the game got enhanced or is just untouched.

because I'd think it would be noteworthy to tell people that a previously dynamic 720p 30fps game when undocked, now runs at dynamic 1080p 60fps...

Sure would've been nice how they go from having a set release date for the Switch 2 version of Borderlands 4...to just abruptly postponing it indefinitely, it would've been nice if they properly patched up Borderlands 3 in the meantime.
