Limited Run planning Nintendo Switch 2 patches for its Carbon Engine Switch 1 games, new features planned

On social media, Limited Run Games provided a report on its Nintendo Switch-based Carbon Engine titles running on Switch 2 through backwards compatibility.

Currently a few of these releases are experiencing issues on the new hardware. However, Limited Run has identified the issues, shared its findings with Nintendo, and is now readying patches. Additionally, some new features have been teased – but as of now we don’t have the details. We’re also unsure when the patches will be ready, but they’ll “roll out in the coming weeks”.

The full notice from Limited Run reads:

Hello everyone! We are aware that a handful of Carbon Engine Switch games currently have issues with the Switch 2’s backwards compatibility. Thankfully, in the two weeks we have had development hardware for the Switch 2, we successfully located the culprit in code and have reported our findings to Nintendo.

We are hopeful that this will be addressed in a future backwards compatibility update, as we believe what we discovered may also be impacting games from other publishers.

In the meantime, we are preparing patches for a few titles that will roll out in the coming weeks – some will even add new features to take advantage of the Switch 2 hardware! Stay tuned for more information.
