Nintendo Refuses To Answer Whether DS Or 3DS Games Are Coming To Switch 2
During a shareholder Q&A session, Nintendo was asked whether DS and 3DS games will be compatible with the upcoming Switch 2 console. The company declined to provide a direct answer to the question, according to reports from gaming community figure OatmealDome. The question itself appears to have been asked with realistic expectations of avoidance, suggesting Nintendo’s reluctance to discuss backward compatibility for older handheld systems on its next-generation hardware. As of the reported date, Nintendo has not disclosed plans regarding whether its digital or physical libraries from the dual-screen DS era or the 3D-capable 3DS would be accessible on Switch 2. This follows ongoing industry discussion about game preservation and backward compatibility, particularly as console manufacturers prepare new hardware launches.
