Bold claim: Nintendo Switch 2’s backwards compatibility is getting a real upgrade, with major titles finally behaving as they should. And this is the part most people miss: several big-name fixes landed this week, including Resident Evil 4 and Miitopia, along with a handful of other titles that were delayed by bugs or odd graphical hiccups. Here’s the refreshed lineup and what changed.
What’s fixed now
- Blade of Darkness
- Game Dev Story++
- Little Nightmares Complete Edition
- Miitopia
- Moji Yuugi
- Resident Evil 4
- Solid Void – Nature Puzzles
- Sports Party
- Streets of Rage 4
- Venture Towns
A notable caveat: one title remains problematic. A Hat in Time currently experiences progression issues on Switch 2, according to Nintendo. It’s possible future patches will restore full playability.

Why this matters
Backwards compatibility isn’t just about getting games to boot; it’s about delivering a stable, consistent experience that respects players’ libraries. When major titles like Resident Evil 4 and Miitopia run smoothly, it reinforces confidence in how Nintendo handles cross-generation software support. As fixes accumulate, the incentive to upgrade or stay within the Switch ecosystem grows stronger—and that has real implications for both players and developers.
Thoughts to consider
- Do these fixes change your decision to adopt Switch 2 or continue with existing hardware?
