The potential end of an era.

With a Switch 2 looming, Nintendo is sending out the original with a bang::With the launch of Super Mario Bros. Wonder on the Switch, Nintendo is capping off an excellent 2023 for the console, just ahead of the rumored launch of the Switch 2.

    The Switch 2 will be a day 1 buy if it keeps the hybrid design and has full Switch backward compatibility…

    Not holding my breath for the latter, though =/

      That will make it or break it for me. If I won’t be able to play my library of games on the Switch 2, I’m not going to bother. I’ll just wait for a new version of the Steam Deck in that case.

        I will take a chance here and say that the Switch 2 will 100% have backward compatability.

        Many games are sold through the Nintendo Online Store, and they will work.

        And they won’t kill the physical “discs”, but the uncertainty comes with keeping them the same size.

        Nintendo has made a winner with the Switch. I think the Switch 2 will mostly be a massive upgrade of what it already does perfectly.

      This is Nintendo… They’ll make you rebuy everything if you want to play it on the new console.

        This really isn’t accurate - Nintendo has been very good about bc traditionally, when bc is feasible with changing form factors. GBA, DS, 3DS, Wii, Wii U all had bc.
