The Switch 2 has a new hardware size and some software (like Labo and Ring Fit) has a physical component that is sized to the original Switch/Joy-Con. It could be referring to that.

Yeha but the pessimist in me thinks of box's backwards compatibility where only the games they curated would work. Still can't play eternal sonata anymore.

That would surprise me. It just doesn't sound like their flavour of bullshit.

Just as a heads up, Eternal Sonata was released on the PS3 and Xbox360. Both RCPS3 and Xenia can play Eternal Sonata even on a steamdeck. If they wont let you play it legitimately, and youve bought a copy for your old systems... thats more than enough justification to emulate in my books.

I couldn't get the xbox version to run emulated. It was all black, none of the graphics loaded. But i did get the ps3 version working.

Hey that's awesome. I've been playing drakengard 3, I never finished eternal sonata, so I think I'll go back and do that.

Pretty sure you can still play Eternal Sonata on the last 3 generations of Xbox.

Nah it was never added to backwards compatibility on the xbone or series X. I tried so many times with hope in my eyes to put the disc in and nada.

Man I'm so sorry to hear that. For me it was Lucasarts' Gladius and they finally did add that one somewhat recently. It's the only game I was keeping my original Xbox for.
