According to an earlier leak, the Switch 2 reportedly has a card slot. However, the message doesn’t confirm the new Switch will be able to play physical Switch games. The message from Nintendo says, “Further information about the successor to Nintendo Switch, including its compatibility with Nintendo Switch, will be announced at a later date.”

The Nintendo Switch 2 has officially announced backwards compatibility, and this will be an important fix for a major issue of its predecessor.

Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa has explained the decision to make the Switch 2 backward compatible with old software.
