Nintendo's Backward Compatibility Announcement

Nintendo has confirmed that the upcoming Switch 2 will support backward compatibility, allowing players to access their existing game library from the current Switch. This feature aims to address concerns sparked by past console transitions, such as the Wii U, where players lost access to previous titles. The integration of Nintendo Switch Online's retro game catalog will also transition to the new system, ensuring players retain their digital collections and online achievements. This move signifies a shift in Nintendo's philosophy and may enhance their competitiveness in the console market.
