Not done with Nintendo Switch. Even though the console is selling less and less, forcing the company to reassess its projections for the current fiscal year, games will hold up well.
In fact, the South Korean firm announced the backward compatibility of Switch games with its next console at its corporate management policy briefing on November 6.
In a lengthy document dedicated to investors discussing its latest results and strategy for the coming months, the following sentence was specifically mentioned: “Nintendo Switch titles will also play on will be able to make the Nintendo Switch a success”.
But that’s not all! Nintendo added that Nintendo Switch Online “will also be compatible” with its long-awaited next generation of consoles.
So we can’t be more specific than this: Physical and digital games from the Switch will accompany the Switch 2.. A logical choice when we look at the success of the console, and the countless titles created by Nintendo and third-party developers since its launch.
For information, this backward compatibility was already half-acknowledged by Nintendo, given that lines of code from the Switch’s operating system already pointed to the latter. It’s still nice that the company confirms all this verbally.
For the most impatient, know that the Switch 2 is planned for the next fiscal year, starting April 1, 2025 and ending March 31, 2026. Although marketing waits until this period, there is a good chance that an announcement will be made. in advance
That obviously won’t happen until late 2024, since Nintendo is expected to have the most Switch under the tree. There are only the first three months of 2025 in which the much-anticipated Switch 2 will emerge from its cocoon.
