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

If I had a nickel for every time I've heard this lie from a console manufacturer.

Nintendo's got a pretty good track record.

At the hardware level yes, software, yes as long as you don’t mind repaying for something you bought previously (potentially) and also don’t mind it being unavailable a few years later.

Source: had Wii U and switch.

The WiiU could run the entire Wii OS, so that's pretty good for backwards compatibility

You and the 3 other wii u owners had a rough time... that generation and move to switch was super weird.

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.

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

360 was absolutely backwards compatible with the OG Xbox.

[-] Mango@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Oh whaaat. Which consoles were hecking it up? I remember being mad.

[-] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 1 points 17 hours ago

The one I remember being really weird was the PS3.

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

It took about a year for it to get near-full compatibility with old games since it was emulated on the 360.
