Nintendo has announced that the decision to include backwards compatibility on the Nintendo Switch 2 was made with the interests of all consumers in mind. This feature will allow users to play their physical and digital Switch games on the new console. In a recent statement, Nintendo emphasized that they wanted to ensure current Switch owners could continue enjoying their purchased software on the upcoming device. While the Switch 2 will also support exclusive games, there may be some older Switch titles that might not be fully compatible with the new system. The company is gearing up for a Nintendo Direct showcase on April 2, 2025, where more details about the console and its software are expected to be revealed. For those eager to experience the Nintendo Switch 2 firsthand, opportunities for hands-on experiences will be available starting in April.
