"At today's Corporate Management Policy Briefing, we announced that Nintendo Switch software will also be playable on the successor to Nintendo Switch," Nintendo posted in a social media update attributed to company president Shintaro Furukawa. "Nintendo Switch Online will be available on the successor to Nintendo Switch as well."

Nintendo has announced that the Switch 2 will play games made for the original console. Even though the company still hasn’t officially announced the device, it’s been dropping hints about what the successor to the Switch will have to offer for nearly a year now.

Nintendo confirms that its next console will be backward compatible with current Switch games, answering one of players' most urgent questions before the console's release.

No fewer than 36 Wii U games are poised to make history once Nintendo finally releases its much-anticipated successor to the Switch.

Nintendo may be on the cusp of revealing the successor to the wildly successful Switch, but the company won't leave its old console completely in the dust. In a recent briefing, Nintendo confirmed the Switch 2 (or whatever Nintendo calls it) will be backward compatible with games for the original Switch.

Backwards compatibility between the Nintendo Switch 2 and its predecessor has been confirmed.

According to an earlier leak, the Switch 2 reportedly has a card slot. However, the message doesn’t confirm the new Switch will be able to play physical Switch games. The message from Nintendo says, “Further information about the successor to Nintendo Switch, including its compatibility with Nintendo Switch, will be announced at a later date.”

It's unclear yet how the Switch successor will approach backward compatibility, but Nintendo is promising details at a later date on this feature.
