After yr of meditation , Nintendo Switchfans finally have some concrete entropy about the cabinet ’s successorand it ’s fantastic tidings . Nintendo has been rally its next hardware for calendar month , and the rumor millregarding the system has n’t stopped churn . As excited as everyone is to see what ’s next , one of the biggest concerns regarding the ironware upgrade is whether or not consumer will be capable to bring across all the games they purchase for the original Nintendo Switch ; Backward compatibility has become a major marketing point for console .
Posting on X ( formerly Twitter ) , President of NintendoShuntaro Furukawarevealed that " Nintendo Switch software will also be playable on the successor , " confirming the rumors that claim that the so - telephone Switch 2 would sport backward compatibility .
That proclamation was enough to bone up excitation , butNintendo break down further by bring out that Nintendo Switch Online will also be availablefor its next console . The post concludes with a hope that more information on the arrangement and its compatibility with the Nintendo Switch will be announced " at a later date . "
An Expected Announcement But A Welcome One
It’s A Win No Matter What
While most fan expected some form of backward compatibility for the Nintendo Switch 2 , many are relieved to have it confirm . The Switch has an extensive subroutine library of titles , include some of the best games Nintendo has ever made . Indie games have also thrived on the intercrossed console somany users have build up impressive collection that would have gather dustif the Switch ’s successor provided no means of carrying them over .
hold this kind of half-witted compatibility will also ensure thatthe Nintendo Switch 2 can down with an accomplished library of games . player will doubtless be expect forwards to package designed for the ( presumably ) beefier ironware but if those title are slow out of the gate then there ’s at least seven years worth of games that will likelyplay better on the upgraded console . It ’s a win for consumers no matter which way it ’s canvass .
With Xenoblade Chronicles X announce for the Switch , there are still some gravid Wii U titles that have n’t made it to the Switch yet .
Backward Compatibility Is The Right Call
It Keeps Everyone Happy
I ’ve built up a comely collecting of games for theNintendo Switchin the form of physical cartridge and digital downloads sobeing able to carry them forward into the next generation is great news . If Nintendo opted to ignore backward compatibility , I have to suppose the fallout amongst its user would have been disastrous . It ’s a smart albeit somewhat obvious move .
