I hadn’t tried running Towerfall since getting my Switch 2. What is not working with it?

Don't have a Switch 2 yet so I don't know, but it's listed in the eShop as "unsupported": https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/towerfall-switch/

I have a spreadsheet with all my games where I've been tracking what is still listed as having issues.

In my library, Crypt of the Necrodancer is still completely unplayable with latest firmware. Crashes during initial loading. Two firmware patches ago (before 21.0.0) it was briefly playable but you’d have to restart the Switch 2 (full power options restart) or you’d have major sound issues.

Interesting, I also have that game and I remember people commenting that one was fixed, and according to my spreadsheet was listed as "working fine" in the Nintendo website when I last checked.

At least they have it listed as unsupported again, which shows some commitment to have the proper information there: https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/crypt-of-the-necrodancer-nintendo-switch-edition-switch/

But I wish there was a changelog somewhere to make it easier to follow this. :/

    For what it's worth, I could launch Towerfall on my swIItch and play a single player game. It was just a quick test though, it's possible I just didn't encounter the reason it's still marked as unsupported.

    On the subject of CotND, according to their discord, the annoying part is that the developers still couldn't get a 2 dev kit from Nintendo and basically can't do anything to patch the game and fix it on their end.

    Crazy that the CotND team still can't get a dev kit, they are the guys who did a Zelda crossover game that was published by Nintendo itself.

    Update : CotND is now working (again!) on Switch 2. And I haven't had the sound issue from earlier either. There was a bugfix patch lately, and I guess they must have found what caused the Switch 2 crash and fixed it in this.

    Yeah, not a lot of dev kits went to indie apparently. It's a bit baffling that Brace Yourself is so low on that list. Not sure if they got one since, but when I reported my issue in early November, they told me they still didn't have any.

    At least Cadence of Hyrule works (and Rift of the Necrodancer too, but it's a very different game).
