Finally! Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are now functioning flawlessly on the Nintendo Switch 2 when played via backwards compatibility. This is fantastic news for trainers eager to revisit the Sinnoh region! The Nintendo eShop confirms that these beloved titles are ready to roll.
Previously, there were reports of frustrating crashing issues (though not every time, it was still a widespread problem) within the Pokemon community. Imagine, you're in the middle of an epic battle, and bam – the game crashes! Thankfully, Nintendo has addressed these issues.
According to Nintendo, the problems affecting Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl have been resolved with a recent system update. This refers to system firmware version 21.2.0, which was released on both the Nintendo Switch 2 and the original Switch.
But that's not all! Another game, Cats on Duty, has also been fixed with this update. Now, it too is working perfectly after the latest firmware update.
However, there's a slight snag with Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe. While the game does function on the Nintendo Switch 2, some players might experience audio problems in certain areas. Hopefully, a fix for this is on the way.
And this is the part most people miss... Nintendo is actively working on backwards compatibility, and there have been many other fixes. You can find more details about these updates.
