Nintendo's new console promises backward compatibility with Switch games

Nintendo's upcoming console will feature backward compatibility, allowing players to access a large library of games from the Switch. This marks a shift from previous consoles, which often required players to start over with each new generation. The Switch has set a record with over 1.3 billion software sales, making it Nintendo's most successful platform in terms of game sales. The new console's backward compatibility will enhance the value of existing game collections for current Switch owners. Nintendo is also focusing on creating services that extend beyond individual consoles. This approach aims to unify its gaming ecosystem, following previous efforts to integrate its console and portable game development divisions.
