The Nintendo Switch 2 remains unconfirmed officially, but during the gaming giant’s latest investor briefing reiterated the Japanese firm that “the successor to Nintendo Switch” will be revealed sometime before the end of March 2025. During the same call, Nintendo also released some particularly significant news, the Switch 2 (or whatever it will eventually be called) will be compatible with existing ones. Nintendo Switch software.

As of Sony or Microsoft could have made a big deal about announcing this much-requested feature, but in classic Nintendo fashion, the company opted instead to confirm it with a single slide in a presentation. The slide says “Nintendo Switch software will also play on the Nintendo Switch successor.” This is great news for any Nintendo Switch owner with a large game library, although it hasn’t been confirmed whether it will be compatible with physical and/or digital games. Fingers crossed it works with both.
