One of the biggest questions surrounding the Nintendo Switch 2 is whether or not the console will be backwards compatible with the Nintendo Switch. There’s nothing official about it yet, but analysts and insiders alike seem to agree and believe that not only will there be backwards compatibility, but that it will be total and it will work perfectly.

This means that all Nintendo Switch games will work on Nintendo Switch 2 without problems, but now we have another important question:Graphics and performance improvements will be applied when launching games of the original model on a new Nintendo console? The most logical thing would be yes, but I haven’t seen any information on the subject so far, so it’s best not to get your hopes up.

Backwards compatibility will apply physical and digital gamesso Nintendo Switch users will have nothing to worry about if they decide to buy a Nintendo Switch 2 as they will be able to enjoy their game library on their new console without any problems if the information we have seen is true. .

Personally, I think Nintendo needs to commit to offering full backwards compatibility with their new console, and to do otherwise would be shooting themselves in the foot because would cause rejection among users by forcing them to pay twice for games they already own that could work perfectly on their new console.

Sony also experienced a similar situation with the launch of the PS5, a console that was originally not supposed to be backwards compatible with the PS4. The Japanese company opted for backwards compatibility as Microsoft was about to go that route with the Xbox series in a clear position of inferiority.

I don’t think Nintendo will make this mistake, especially considering this everything you play with your next consolewhich is why it makes so much sense to think that Nintendo Switch 2 will be compatible with all Nintendo Switch games. Another issue is possible graphical and performance improvements when running games from the original model on a new Nintendo console, which I see as much less likely.

The Nintendo Switch 2 will be a big evolutionary leap compared to the original model. Your specifications will much better balanced, and will have a hardware configuration that will allow it to seamlessly port games designed for the Xbox Series X-Series S and PS5, albeit with some resolution and graphic quality adjustments to accommodate the particularities of that console.
