The Switch 1 Pro controller will work with Switch 2 Exclusive games

Some good news I came across. It’s just in a footnote on their website so I’m not sure if this has already been reported on. We knew the old Pro controller would work with Switch 2, but I assumed it would be like the PS5 where the PS4 controller only works with PS4 games and not PS5 games. So unless you’re desperate for the new C button and mic don’t feel too anxious to pre-order the Pro Controller 2 if your old Pro still works fine.
