Industry leaker claims that the Nintendo Switch 2 will have backwards compatibility support
Information on the successor to the Nintendo Switch has been hard to come by, as with the launch of a new console, Nintendo is keeping things to themselves for now. However, there's a leaker with a history of occasionally breaking news before official announcements get made. Industry insider Nate The Hate, who correctly knew that Game Boy games would be coming to Nintendo Switch Online months before it happened, but also reiterated plenty of Switch Pro claims, says that the anticipated Switch successor system will have backwards compatibility with Nintendo Switch games.
This comment comes after David Gibson, a research analyst, found that an electronic components company, Hosiden Corporation, has allocated 2 billion yen for spending on production, and 1 billion yen on automation, in the "amusement" department. Hosiden has worked with Nintendo for hardware in the past, supplying numerous electronic components for the Switch.
The Nintendo Switch successor was supposedly set for a 2024 launch, but was reportedly delayed in order to have a better launch title lineup. What we do know for a fact is that Tokyo Games Show is taking place this month, and that Nintendo will definitively announce their new hardware before the end of this fiscal year.
