Rumors surrounding the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 are reaching new heights, with the latest speculation suggesting that the upcoming console will support backwards compatibility. According to a leak posted on UniversoNintendo.com, a source known for accurately revealing upcoming games before official announcements, the Switch 2 is expected to allow direct play of games from the original Switch console.
The leak originated from content creator PHBrazil, who shared these details on a recent Spotify podcast episode. If true, this feature could enhance the gaming experience for users, as older Switch games may potentially run better on the new console. This move aligns with industry trends, resembling the approach taken by the PS5, which upscales many PS4 games for improved visual quality.
Additionally, the Switch 2 is rumored to offer developers the opportunity to study improvements for current titles in the Nintendo Switch library. While the information is machine-translated and should be taken with caution, it adds another layer of excitement for Nintendo enthusiasts eagerly awaiting the next handheld console.
@CentroLeaks on X, formerly known as Twitter, has hinted at an upcoming hardware reveal for the Nintendo Switch 2 next month. Furthermore, a game showcase event referred to as ‘Direct’ is rumored to take place next week, potentially unveiling new titles and features for the next-gen console.
It’s important to note that these details are speculative, as Nintendo has neither confirmed nor denied any information related to the Switch 2. Despite the growing anticipation, the company’s president had recently refuted reports of a successor to the Switch. For the latest updates on Nintendo’s upcoming handheld and confirmed details, stay tuned.
