Nintendo Shares Updates on Switch 2’s Backward Compatibility with Switch 1 – News

No problem at all. Here’s your rewritten article:

Okay, so here’s a quick math lesson — not that I’m any good with numbers — but 35% of 15,000 is, wait for it, 5,250. Oddly enough, maybe that’s why our News Editor is hanging out somewhere with the good stuff — as in, where recreation and legality shake hands. No idea, but let’s roll with it.

Nintendo dropped some news bomb about their backward compatibility. Switch 1 games and apps, you know, for their new Switch 2. And it’s a bit of a mixed bag, folks. Out of 112 of those first-party titles — you know, the ones straight from the Nintendo oven — there’s this one, yeah, just one that won’t make the cut. It’s the Labo VR kit, which, honestly, was suited up for the OG Switch’s smaller screen. Not much of a surprise, right?

Now, crunching numbers again, think about 15,000 third-party games — or as I like to call them, the “partner” titles (because who doesn’t love a good partnership analogy?). Apparently, 65% of them are good to go, no hiccups. Then there’s this 34% chunk — yeah, math is weird — which kind of works but with issues. You know, like when your car starts but the radio won’t play your favorite tunes. Annoying but manageable if you’re patient.

Now, on the flip side, a bunch of apps didn’t make the compatibility cut. Like, if you’re into streaming, sorry, but Hulu and Crunchyroll — and did I mention Niconico and AbemaTV? — nope, not happening. And if you’re into reading comics on InkyPen, well, might have to consider another hobby or hope for a miracle update.

And then there are these PDF files. Who’s even reading those in 2023? Anyway, they list games, such as Fortnite, which will apparently get a patch soon after Switch 2 hits the shelves. Why not just get it right from the start? I dunno. But hey, whatever keeps the game running, right?

And that’s all I got. Probably missed a few details, but let’s not dwell on perfection.
