One boss at Nintendo has seemingly teased that the successor to the Switch should contain a feature that fans have been begging for.
It sounds like the eventual successor to the Nintendo Switch could contain a feature that fans have been making known for quite some time they want to see in Nintendo's next console. With the transition from the Wii U to Nintendo Switch, one of the biggest things that was lost was the ability to natively play games from previous platforms. While Nintendo ended up porting a number of titles from Wii U to Switch, the Switch itself didn't contain any backward compatibility functions.
As mentioned in a new Q&A, longtime Nintendo director Shigeru Miyamoto talked about backward compatibility and how easy it is to include with video game consoles nowadays. Although Miyamoto himself didn't confirm that backward compatible functionality will be present in all of Nintendo's future platforms, the ease with which he said it can now be implemented makes it seem likely to be present in the Switch's follow-up console.
"In the past, we provided a service known as the 'Virtual Console' that allowed users to play older video games on new consoles with newer hardware. As long as the hardware remained unchanged, those games could continue to be played," Miyamoto said in a quote translated by VGC."Of course, video games developed for dedicated consoles were created in different development environments for each console.
Again, while Miyamoto never outright talked about Switch 2, or whatever the next Nintendo console might be called, the fact that he pointed out how easy it is for backward compatibility to now be added makes it sound likely that this is something Nintendo is exploring for its next hardware. What remains to be seen, though, is when that future hardware could be revealed.
