Switch 1 and 2

You can check if a game is a Switch 2 exclusive by going to the official Nintendo Store. Head to the product's page and scroll down until you reach the About this Item section. Eventually you'll reach the System portion which either says Nintendo Switch or Nintendo Switch 2.

If it says Nintendo Switch 2, this unfortunately means that the game is exclusive to Nintendo Switch 2. However if it only says Nintendo Switch, the game is available on both Switch 1 and 2.
