This is Furukawa. At today’s Corporate Management Policy Briefing, we announced that Nintendo Switch software will also be playable on the successor to Nintendo Switch. Nintendo Switch Online will be available on the successor to Nintendo Switch as well. Further information about the successor to Nintendo Switch, including its compatibility with Nintendo Switch, will be announced at a later date.
Also, what a day to be casually posting this haha
Announce the damn thing already, I’m not gonna buy it, but still…
Great now let me play my WWHD for WiiU on the switch. I’m waiting.
Oh my God I want it so bad.
I never owned my own copy of Wind Waker. I borrowed it when I was a kid from a friend and then later I played the Wii-U version from a different friend. Now that I’m like, an adult (more or less) with my own console, I want a copy for myself. And also I want to play it again. Man! Love that game!
I got tired of waiting and played WWHD on a Steam Deck, ran flawlessly from start to end!
If I had a nickel for every time I’ve heard this lie from a console manufacturer.
While they’ve shut down online services for some of the older consoles, the backwards compatibility of the Xbox has always been excellent. I was playing Crimson Skies for the OG Xbox on my Series S a few weeks ago.
Can’t do that with a 360 though.
360 was absolutely backwards compatible with the OG Xbox.
Oh whaaat. Which consoles were hecking it up? I remember being mad.
It took about a year for it to get near-full compatibility with old games since it was emulated on the 360.
The one I remember being really weird was the PS3.
Company who uses emulators while suing other emulators says what?
Hopefully it’ll play old carts and not just digital downloads 🤞
I feel like the language chosen was very specific for good reason.
I would love to say this is going to flop, but in the States people pay $1k for telephones and $600+ for consoles and then pay a monthly fee to then use those devices.
1k for phone ? Iphone pro max are now close to 2k …
What??? I’m way out of the loop.
I’m guessing this is from consumer pressure, until the Switch people definitely bought more physical copies of games and the minority of people got digital versions of DS/Wii-U games, but now so many people are using nintendo online and buying virtual copies people probably would not buy the next console if they had to buy the games they liked again.
