I think the reason why people were jumping to those terrible conclusions is because of gamer’s hatred for Nintendo when it comes to emulations and “them lacking in preserving media”

[radicalbyte]

Nintendo would NOT say that they have "backwards compatibility" and ONLY support digital versions. It's impossible to explain to consumers and this was consumer communication.

[zennozangetsu]

How people even jumped to that conclusion is stupid

[Ernestotaku]

In Japanese, physical games in stores are in Software or /Sofuto/ ソフト section. So, yes. Sofuto for them is games. In general.

[marcio]

I'm sure we'll still see Cyberpunk 2077 on Switch 2

[marcio]

The only physical media that still makes sense are Nintendo Switch cartridges.

[WilberforceWooster]

I hope a Nintendo Select line is paired with a price drop, presumably early 2025?

[ryh]

Makes no sense for them to confirm backwards compatibility to be digital only when physical sales are still a huge part of their sales. You're either looking to bait for controversy or just ignorant in the way Nintendo do things. All of their previous hardware with backwards compatibility have a way for you play your cartridges and discs. I don't see why that would change with the Switch 2.

[swizzler]

If they were going to cut off physical backwards compatibility, they wouldn't have gone through the trouble of commissioning NVidia to make a new processor in the same architecture as the switch. People are also saying the reason they suddenly got so aggressive against switch emulators is because NSW2 software would be compatible with them with minor work, which would not be a good look.

[Vuldari]

Optimistic interpretation is not necessary Truth. What hasn't been said yet, hasn't been said.

[SrWorfwood]

Maybe I'm wrong but I think the guy who said that about the backwards compatibility is the same guy who got his website blacklisted by Valve after they decided to ignore Valve's warning asking people playing the beta/alpha of their next game to please not leak any information or post any screenshots, and instead of admitting he was wrong he decided to start acting like a clown on Twitter for who knows how many days. He used to at least look like a serious dude but lately it's getting hard to take him seriously.

[DankMemeCenterX]

None of this confusion was made when Sony announced the PS5 would have backwards compatibility with PS4 games. People just tend to treat Nintendo as some old geyser company not equip for the west consumption lol.

[chrisgideonrosario]

Computer Programs [including video games] have ALWAYS, since the very beginning, have been referred to as software... MicroSOFT, SquareSOFT, etc. They make SOFTWARE... Goodness I can't with the stupidity out there. Granted we didn't get a guaranteed that physical and digitial software will be backwards compatible, so that much I can say lets wait and see. Hopefully it does.

[Alexvander]

I get what you are saying, but I'm still worried Nintendo may pull a "Nintendo" and not allow Switch 1 physical cartridges to be played on it.

[RPGfanatic]

I am pretty sure that both Sony and Microsoft also call physical games software so how does anyone come to this conclusion.

Also, I think that announcing the backwards compatibility might help hardware sales in addition to software. Anyone thinking of getting a Switch now will know that if they decide later down the line to get a Switch 2 will be able to play the games that they are purchasing now.

[vitolibido]

Thank god someone with a brain is a Nintendo you tuber

[ryh]

We'll get a healthy amount of PS4 ports from Japanese third parties early on. That's to be expected as the market leader in Japan. The question is more about how can Nintendo get these bigger publishers to include Switch 2 for their newest games. The original despite being a runaway success with a massive install base to tap in to was still looked down on as a 3rd or 4th platform for many of these bigger studios.

[dethernenolia]

Breaking news: Nintendo switch 2 games is compatible on Nintendo switch 😅😅😅

[johnskipp]

They specifically said "customers will be able to play software they OWN" you do not own digital media. It would be a huge oversight for Nintendo to use this language if they didn't include physical games.

[novustalks]

It was obvious they would never reveal the next thing before the new year
