Next Nintendo console will support Nintendo Switch games

Spread the love

It's been over seven years since Nintendo released the Switch, and new information about its successor is already coming out. The Switch 2 ;promises to make people happy.

While the Switch has accumulated nearly 130 million sales since its release in 2017, surpassing the record of the legendary Wii, Nintendo is dropping a few clues about its next console. The video game giant has just released a final juicy piece of information about the Switch 2, and it is unanimously acclaimed.

Furakawa, the current president of Nintendo, presents in a few lines one of the highly anticipated features of his future console: backwards compatibility. Although this term is scary, there is no need to worry (on the contrary). With backwards compatibility, the Switch 2 will be able to run games originally intended for the first Switch.

Backwards compatibility, a feature highly anticipated

Nintendo has therefore decided to ensure a certain continuity between its two consoles, which has not always been the case in the past. Let us recall the transition from the Wii U to the Switch, seven years earlier, which on the contrary marked a total break for players.

This time, there is no need to buy your games again or take out a new Online subscription. Because yes, Nintendo Switch Online will be compatible on both Switches. Nintendo has therefore turned towards a smooth transition, which can only be unanimous within its community.

The console of all records

Furakawa's announcement is all the more remarkable when you consider the size of the game catalog offered on Switch. To date, nearly 1.3 billion titles have been sold to players around the world. More than just a staggering figure, this is a record for the Switch: never before has a console accumulated so many sales.

The Switch 2 intends to take over. Even though some of its features have been announced, such as backward compatibility, the project remains very secret. The mystery remains, but 2025 will most likely be the year of revelations. Patience will be the key word for the months to come.
