Nintendo revealed today that only select Nintendo Switch games will be backwards compatible. So it seems you shouldn’t expect your entire Switch library to be supported on the new console (bummer).

Meanwhile, various Switch games will receive upgrades with improved visuals and added support for Switch 2 features such as mouse controls and even Switch 2 Camera support. In the case of Mario Party Jamboree, at least, you’ll need to purchase the upgrades Switch 2 version.

And speaking of purchasing upgrades, it seems that Switch 2-enhanced games will require you to purchase an upgrade pack…which ain’t the greatest, but at least these upgrades look pretty!
