Leaks and rumors so far have revealed key information about Nintendo’s next-gen console, the Switch 2. The Japanese game maker is reportedly targeting 10 million units this year. Now, a Portugese outlet Universo Nintendo has received new information from Nintendo content creator and journalist PH Brazil who shared on his latest Spotify podcast episode. The report adds that there is a high chance of credibility with the latest development.
Nintendo Switch 2 will be backwards compatible
As per the latest development, the Nintendo Switch 2 will feature backwards compatibility. This means that the next-gen Nintendo console will be able to play older games made for the previous generation. A translated version of the information reveals that the Switch 2 will allow developers to study improvements for the current titles in the Nintendo Switch library. This means that games on the original Switch could feature enhancements and run on the upcoming next-gen console. However, it remains unknown to what extent games would be enhanced on the Switch 2.
The Nintendo Switch 2 will be compatible with the current-generation Switch cartridges as well as digital library. This could be similar to the Sony PlayStation 5’s backward compatibility. Notably, PS5 also upscales and enhances many PS4 titles to make games look better.
As previously rumored, the Nintendo Switch 2 will feature an 8-inch LCD screen. It will come with Nvidia Tegra 239 chipset along with support for 1080p gameplay and Ray Tracing. The console is expected to be priced around the $400 mark and arrive later this year.
