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

Following years of rumors and speculation, Nintendo at last provides its first official comment on the Switch 2 backward compatibility.

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.

According to an earlier leak, the Switch 2 reportedly has a card slot. However, the message doesn’t confirm the new Switch will be able to play physical Switch games. The message from Nintendo says, “Further information about the successor to Nintendo Switch, including its compatibility with Nintendo Switch, will be announced at a later date.”

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

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.
