You’ll be able to play your Nintendo Switch games on the next generation!
Science fiction becomes fact as backward compatibility is confirmed for Nintendo’s next console
The next video game console from Nintendo, the Switch’s successor, will be made better through the inclusion of backwards compatibility, according to the company’s financial statement. In other words, it will be suitable to launch games developed for the present console system. This announcement truly dispels all rumors, doubts, and concerns of gamers explaining that they will be able to play their favorite games in the future without any attempts to preserve their current console.
On the new console Switch Online also
Nintendo doesn’t stop there. The company also reaffirmed that the subscription-based service, the Nintendo Switch Online will be usable on the next model, the Switch 2. What this means is that saves in the cloud will be moved and you can then play your NES, SNES and Game Boy on the new console. ‘It is essential for the future of the company to ‘maintain the good relationship’ which we have with close to 100 million users every year on the new device’, she offered.
Simplified transfer through your Nintendo Account
The only opportunity for Nintendo to perform this transition is through the Nintendo Account. This is the single account functionality that ties a user’s history to a single account and to share an “ongoing relationship” with them across generations of hardware. It was also designed to rectify the issue where prior to the Nintendo Account the company didn’t have relatively an efficient method to transfer a user’s history and or purchases to the next console.
A drop in Switch sales
In addition, Nintendo had to revise downwards its sales forecast for the current fiscal year, due to a sharp drop in console sales compared to the same period last year. Some interpret this as a sign that many gamers would rather wait for the release of the new console than buy the current Switch.
