TL;DR there seem to be some games that are not compatible including the Nintendo Labo VR kit. 99% of games seem fine.

    Interesting to see reasons for where compatibility is physically impossible:

    1. The console is a different shape and can’t fit the LABO frames
    2. The Joy-Con 2 are a different shape and can’t fit the Ring-Con or Leg Strap.
    3. The Jon-Con 2 don’t have the IR Motion Camera
    4. The Jon-Con 2 rumble is weaker than Joy Con

      Even then, it’s not a full stop on incompatibility, it just means that you need to own Switch 1 joycons to pair to the system instead of using the new ones. So you can play Ringfit on Switch 2, if you have the old joycons and a way to charge them.

        Can you connect joycon 1 to switch 2?

        Edit : nevermind, someone answered in the comment just under this.

      Sounds like they should be selling an adapter of sorts for the RingCon and Leg Strap

    The ones that require you to insert the switch into them make sense. There are no excuses for the remainder.

      It’s only a relative handful of games with issues and only one is a Nintendo game. And many with issues are from the same developers. Looks to me that those developers didn’t use the SDK properly. It is a software side issue so could be fixed before the launch if those publishers care enough.

      They are investigating those issues though so I assume they intend to fix them.

      I would be extremely surprised if every single game just worked on the first try.
