Nintendo confirms that the Nintendo Switch 2 will be backwards compatible

by Benita

The
successor
to
the

Nintendo
Switch
hasn’t
been
officially
announced
yet
but
that
hasn’t
stopped
Nintendo
president
Shuntaro
Furukawa 
sharing
a
few
details
about
their
next
console.

Speaking
on
X,
the
company
president
revealed
that
the
Switch
2
will
be
able
to
play
all
of
your
existing
Switch
games.

Furukawa
said:
“At
today’s
Corporate
Management
Policy
Briefing,
we
announced
that
Nintendo
Switch
software
will
also
be
playable
on
the
successor
to
Nintendo
Switch.”

I
think
most
of
us
expected
the
Switch
2
(which
I’m
still
hoping
will
be
called
the
Super
Switch)
to
be
backwards
compatible,
but
there
was
an
underlying
fear
that
it
wouldn’t
be
because
Nintendo
can
be
a
little…er,
odd
when
it
comes
to
things
like
that.

It
was
also
confirmed
that
Nintendo
Switch
Online
will
carry
over
to
the
new
console,
with
the
subscription
service
apparently
having
over
34
million
users
now.

We
also
found
out
in
the
latest
Nintendo
financial
report
that
the
Switch
is
still
selling
well,

and
is
within
reach
of
becoming
the
best-selling
console
of
all
time.

All
of
this
good
news
has
helped
Nintendo’s
stock
price
jump
up
5.8%.

As
for
the
Switch
2
itself,
Nintendo
has
reconfirmed
that
it’s
on
track
to
be
announced
by
the
end
of
their
fiscal
year,
which
is
in
March
of
2025.
