Its a pretty good outcome but the games with "resolved" issues are not all good news.

Some examples (all from different games):

• Remaining on the title screen for 30 seconds will cause an error to trigger and the game will close. Please navigate away from the title screen before the error occurs.
• Inputting a particular sequence of controls in a stage may on rare occasion cause the game to close.
• Slowdown may occur in some parts of the game
• Screen distortion may occur in some parts of the game
• When Nintendo Switch 2 players battle Nintendo Switch players online, Nintendo Switch players' character models will have distorted textures.

Still, if they have identified these issues it says a fair bit about how though their testing was.

Nice to see this made it in

At that point is not really oblivion?!

NS1 pro controller is compatible with a running NS2 console but will not wake it from sleep.

Not a huge change in the charts but the lists of titles with problems are getting longer.

2 titles have committed to fixes:

• Fortnite (Switch 2 version planned)
• Fitness Boxing (update planned)

I'm reading:

• "exclusively Nintendo Switch 2 game cards" as meaning its the new red S2 game card format.

So no, not compatible with S1 consoles

I'm reading:

• "exclusively Nintendo Switch 2 game cards" as meaning its the new red S2 game card format.
• "include the original Nintendo Switch game and its upgrade pack all on the same game card" as meaning that the base game has been patched with the NS2E upgrade and the result written to disc.

Of course if any post release patches that occur may need to be downloaded but their apparent intent has been to provide a version that is playable from gamecard.

This sounds like the best implementation with the exception that the base game is not playable on S1 consoles (something you could do of you bought it digitally).

• Mario Kart 8 Deluxe was the #1 highest selling title on Switch (67m)
• Mario Kart 8 / Deluxe is the #5 highest selling videogame (75m)
• Mario Kart is the #13 highest selling videogame series(189m)

It has a few fans out there

Transferable licence.

They can be sold, gifted, inherited, etc.

Its the same concept as a stub game disc which requires a full online install (something Xbox used for cross-gen one/series titles).

Its nothing like the account tied physical sales they proposed at the Xbox one announcement.

Switch 2 game-key cards won’t be account- or console-locked

What? Of course not ... that's why they are in the form of game cards.
