The potential end of an era.

With a Switch 2 looming, Nintendo is sending out the original with a bang::With the launch of Super Mario Bros. Wonder on the Switch, Nintendo is capping off an excellent 2023 for the console, just ahead of the rumored launch of the Switch 2.

    Not holding my breath for the latter, though =/

    For all Nintendo’s faults (and boy do they have them in spades), Nintendo are pretty good for this.

    Gameboy Colour could play Gameboy games

    Gameboy Advance could play GB/CBC

    DS/DS Lite could play GBA

    3DS could play DS

    Wii could play GameCube

    Wii U could play Wii

    To me it’d be very surprising if the Switch 2 couldn’t play Switch games.

    Generally unless they want a serious form factor or major architectural change, Nintendo retains backwards compatibility.
