Summary

Industry insiders and analysts claim that we can expect something regarding the Switch 2 this month as it ramps up production.
Leaker NateTheHate has also reiterated claims that the Switch 2 will be backwards compatible — hopefully Nintendo confirms as much soon.

Yesterday, GamesIndustry.biz head Chris Ding claimed that there are "whispers around 'something' Switch-2 related happening this month". MST Financial analyst David Gibson backed this up, pointing out that the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Nintendo Switch 2 appears to be 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:entering mass production as assembler Hosiden is spending ¥2 billion on equipment and ¥1 billion on a♑utomation.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:It might not be called the Switch 2. Maybe it'll be the Super Nintendo Switch. But for simplicity's sake, we're calling it the Switch 2.

We know that the Switch 2 is real and coming "within fiscal year" 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:as per Nintendo itself — it even warns fans ahead of Directs that there will be no news on the upcoming console to set expectations. Perhaps it will finally be unveiled to the public this month, only time will tell, but it's clear that things are at least ramping up behind the scenes.

The Switch 2 Will Reportedly Be Backwards Compatible

In liue of this news, leaker reiterated previous claims m𝓰ade by Nintendo insider TvP🐟H earlier this year that the new handheld will be backwards compatible. They didn't go into much detail, simply saying that it's supported, but TvPH alleged that the Switch 2 will support both physical and digital copies of original Switch games.

With the new Switch launching just next year, it certainly makes sense as Nintendo isn't slowing down on exclusives. While some of these could instead be ported to the new console similarly to how Breath of the Wild is playable on Wii U and Switch, it's more likely that these games are launching with backwards compatibility already in mind.

Analysts claimed last month that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the Switch 2 will be $499.

In the next year alone, we have (you can read our preview here), , 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Mario & Luigi: Brothership, MySims - Official Cozy Bundle, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, and many more. Odds are Nintendo will want these new relea𝔉ses ready to go on its next console without having to port every single one.
