Nintendo confirms the Switch 2 will have backwards compatibility, so your plan to celebrate its release with a giant shark chase on jet skis still looks on

"At today's Corporate Management Policy Briefing, we announced that Nintendo Switch software will also be playable on the successor to Nintendo Switch. Nintendo Switch Online will be available on the successor to Nintendo Switch as well."

"This confirmation comes directly from Ninty president Shuntaro Furukawa, in an official Tweet that comes with the lovely mix of 'business guy must say a thing in a businesslike manner' and 'mildly important text from your dad' energy you'd expect."

"Further information about the successor to Nintendo Switch, including its compatibility with Nintendo Switch, will be announced at a later date."

"Even investors who probably don't have a bunch of Switch games stashed away in their drawers have reacted pretty favourably to the news about backwards compatibility."
