Nintendo's 20.5.0 Update Restores Five Switch 1 Games on Switch 2, Flags Others for Fixes

The small batch underscores Nintendo's incremental approach to restoring Switch 1 games through ongoing firmware updates.

Overview

  • Firmware Version 20.5.0 enables Deemo Reborn, Library of Ruina, Powerful Pro Baseball 2024–25, Ultra Age, and Warframe to run correctly on Switch 2.
  • Nintendo's status pages now note specific issues for Jelly Troops, Kingdoms of Amalur: Re‑Reckoning, Mugen Souls, Subway Simulator 2025: City Train, and Transistor.
  • Official release notes cited only system stability improvements, while reporting confirmed the targeted compatibility fixes.
  • Warframe's inclusion is notable, with developer Digital Extremes recently showing the first gameplay of a dedicated Switch 2 release planned for the future.
  • This is the smallest compatibility-fix wave to date, and reporting indicates more patches are expected with Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition still awaiting a fix.
