It’s one of the most heartbreaking things in gaming. You get a new console bright and shiny and full of power, and you love it. But then one day you decide to boot up a classic game on your old system, and it looks unrecognisable and runs horribly. How did you ever like it? You can never go back.
Well, theSwitch 2could reportedly go beyond nostalgia and actually improve the performance of your beloved Switch titles because let’s be honest, it was underpowered at launch and 7 years have only accentuated that.
The same sources also claim that backward compatibility will exist for both digital and physical copies of Switch games, so make sure to keep the same Nintendo account (and SD card).
