Nintendo officially confirms Switch 2 is backward compatible with Switch games

Switch OLED.

After its Corporate Management Policy Briefing, Nintendo confirmed on Twitter that Nintendo Switch games would remain playable on "the successor to Nintendo Switch," which most are currently calling Switch 2.

The entire Management Policy Briefing, available on Nintendo's website, also describes the current status of Nintendo in the console hardware market, highlighting the 146 million units sold of the Nintendo Switch Family and that "more software has been played on Nintendo Switch than on any other Nintendo hardware." The full 59-page PDF goes pretty in-depth on sales data and other historical information, confirming that the current Nintendo Switch Online service (as well as Music, etc) will continue with the Nintendo Switch 2's release.
