This has been something that Nintendo briefly touched on last year, as Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser added that a single unified “Nintendo Account” will smooth the transition into the next console. The Switch hasn’t featured traditional backward compatibility since it launched, as it shifted from the disc format of the Wii and Wii U consoles back to cartridges. It’s not clear yet if the Switch 2 will have a dedicated cartridge port for original Switch games, or if it’ll implement a similar backward compatibility approach toward downloads of digitally purchased games like on the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles.

As it enters its eighth year, sales of the Switch have begun slowing down and an official announcement on it is expected within the next five months. 140 million systems and more than 1 billion Switch games have been sold so far, and Nintendo said in its latest earnings result that hardware sales continue to remain stable.

–shares fell yesterday after Nintendo revised its sales forecast and confirmed that Switch sales were starting to slow down–increasing by 5.8% on November 6.

As for when exactly the Switch 2 will be revealed, analysts predict that it won’t be this year as Nintendo wants to avoid diverting attention from its current system before it heads into the lucrative holiday season.
