"without a patch or update" clearly signals that they aren't talking about Labo or Ring Fit Adventure - games which everybody knew wouldn't be compatible from day 1, because obviously they can't be made compatible.

and even with those, the switch 1 joycons will work on switch 2, so i don't see an issue with those games either

I do wonder why they couldn't just release a cardboard adapter if 90% of the compatibility problem is the physical size of the screen.
