Senior Nintendo officials reveal that the Switch 2 Joy-Cons nearly missed out on a helpful feature that took many iterations to perfect.

Don’t throw out your original Joy-Cons just yet, as it turns out they will work with the Nintendo Switch 2, at least for the most part.

In an update posted to Nintendo's official site, the company revealed that nearly 100 percent of first-party games remain compatible with Switch 2 hardware, with “no issues found during basic compatibility testing” for 122 games published by Nintendo. On a bar chart, a tiny sliver of red, indicating “not compatible,” amounts to just one game.
