In a diminutive printout translator About the recent virtual system of digital shopping cards, Nintendo seemed to confirm that some Switch games would receive improved versions for Switch 2 – or in any case native versions for the Switch 2 console.
The footnote of the article is: “Nintendo Switch 2 Exclusive Games and Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Games can only be loaded in the Nintendo Switch 2” system. The note also means that Switch 2 will also operate the virtual game card system and will be able to replace Switch 1 games using the original switch.
It is confirmed that switch 2 is fully compatible with the software of its predecessor, thanks to which he will be able to play (almost) every game Switch. But the mention of Nintendo about “Games Switch 2 Edition”, unlike “Switch 2 exclusive games”, suggests that some switches’ games will receive versions between the generals that work natively on Switch 2, and not through a layer of reverse compatibility.
It opens the door to improved versions of the rear catalog titles, such as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wildas well as the upcoming releases of switches, such as Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. This is the expected movement, which has been widespread by the latest PlayStation generations and Xbox consoles. But this is still the first indication of Nintendo that it will follow this route in the case of generation publications.
It will turn out if Nintendo will burden additional games for Switch 2 Edition games. Sony did it for some PlayStation 5 Titles PlayStation 4, while Microsoft decided to offer the so -called Xbox Series X Enhanced versions Xbox One for free.
How Switch 2 supports reverse compliance and all potential improvements to older games, is one of the biggest questions about the system before full disclosure of April 2. This diminutive print answers one of our questions, but many others remain.
