It is assumed that older cartridges will also work.
Nintendo’s next console will be backwards compatible with Switch, according to PH Brazil, a Brazilian journalist specializing in the company’s products. Occasional insider NateTheHate has similar information.
It is alleged that the new Nintendo console will be able to run not only digital versions of games for the Switch, but will also be able to work with cartridges for the old console. This is what, for example, the PlayStation 5 can do: the console is capable of playing discs for the PlayStation 4.
In addition, PH Brazil is confident that Switch game developers will be able to release improved versions of older projects for the new Nintendo console. This is likely an analogue of the patches with improved PlayStation 5 support received by some PlayStation 4 games.
Many sources believe that Nintendo’s next-generation console will be released in 2024. It is expected that the device will receive an Nvidia chip, similar in performance to the GeForce RTX 2050, and will have an 8-inch screen. Perhaps the console will be about $100 more expensive than the Switch.
Nintendo itself neither confirms nor denies the imminent release of a new generation console.
