In a recent announcement, Nintendo confirmed that the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 will be backward-compatible with both physical and digital games from the original Switch. The new console will utilize red Game Cards with enhanced data reading speeds. However, backward compatibility won't depend on hardware from the original Switch or traditional software emulation, instead employing a unique hybrid system that processes game data in real-time. This innovative approach aims to allow new feature integration, although some games may not be completely playable on the new system.
