- authored by Liam Doolan
Update []: A fresh cluster of releases is said to have had their compatibility hiccups ironed out after the new Switch 2 firmware revision, Version 20.3.0.
Switch 1 titles patched in August 2025 (as reported by Nintendo Everything):

Big N has also apparently pinpointed glitches affecting Monster Rancher 1 & 2 DX and Marco & the Galaxy Dragon (both plagued by slowdown). In addition, Windjammers is said to be struggling with sound issues. We’ll share any further fixes when we receive them.
Original Report: Nintendo pushed the latest firmware refresh (Version 20.2.0) to Switch 2 last week, and it turns out Portal 2 wasn’t the only casualty reversed.
