A recently surfaced rumor claims that the Switch 2 may incorporate a somewhat technical feature that's not very Nintendo-like.

"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."

Who needs a dock? Play these top games on the Switch Lite, Nintendo's strictly mobile, lower-cost version of the popular console.

Modding old video game consoles to become something else is a big thing right now, and this Nintendo Wii turned into a Mini Gaming PC is very cool.

In a corporate briefing, Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa confirmed that the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 will be backward compatible with games made for the original Switch.

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.

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

The DS and 3DS gave us some strong Zelda games, like Spirit Tracks and A Link Between Worlds, but they shouldn't be trapped there.
