Backwards Compatibility Looks More Likely Than Ever For Nintendo Switch 2

With Nintendo finally confirming that a successor to the is due to be announced later this fiscal year, more rumors are surfacing regarding the specs and features included in the new console. One popular feature request is that of backwards compatibility, enabling those who have amassed a large library of games over the past seven years to easily continue playing them on the new hardware, sometimes with patches offering graphical and performance enhancements.
As reported by My Nintendo News, Nintendo insider TvPH claims that the backwards compatibility isn’t going to be limited to just physically released games, but digital ones as well, enabling players to carry their entire game library over to the new console. TvPH was the one who initially reported the news of the new hardware being internally delayed to 2025, which now seems to align with Nintendo's announcement schedule, which gives this new rumor some weight, making it seem more likely than ever.

The idea that Nintendo will be carrying across the Switch's digital library to newer hardware should indicate that players won't see the issues that came about when Nintendo shut down its 3DS and Nintendo Wii U stores last year, stopping players from purchasing DLC or digital copies of an entire console generation's worth of titles as they weren't carried across to the Switch. Many of these games could still be purchased physically, but third-party resale prices increased rapidly for many.
Backwards compatibility is always a huge win for game preservation, so if this Nintendo Switch 2 rumor is confirmed as part of its reveal later this year, it's bound to make many players extremely pleased. While there will be plenty of new titles in the works that will show off the new console's capabilities — and apparently
