Nintendo is preparing to unveil its new console, possibly named Switch 2, which will reportedly support backwards compatibility with Nintendo Switch games. President Shuntaro Furukawa confirmed this during a November 2024 earnings presentation, stating that existing Switch software would be playable on the new system. While this transition marks a significant improvement over the previous lack of compatibility from Wii U to Switch, uncertainties remain about whether this backwards compatibility extends to physical cartridges or if all games will be supported. More details are expected to be released by Nintendo.
As part of Nintendo's earnings presentation in early November 2024, president Shuntaro Furukawa confirmed the news, stating, "Nintendo Switch software will also be playable on the successor to Nintendo Switch."
One of the unknowns is whether or not backwards compatibility is limited to digital games or if the Switch 2 will also support physical Switch cartridges.
