This is Furukawa. At today's Corporate Management Policy Briefing, we announced that Nintendo Switch software will also be playable on the successor to Nintendo Switch. Nintendo Switch Online will be available on the successor to Nintendo Switch as well. Further information about the successor to Nintendo Switch, including its compatibility with Nintendo Switch, will be announced at a later date.

Also, what a day to be casually posting this haha

While they've shut down online services for some of the older consoles, the backwards compatibility of the Xbox has always been excellent. I was playing Crimson Skies for the OG Xbox on my Series S a few weeks ago.

Can't do that with a 360 though.

360 was absolutely backwards compatible with the OG Xbox.

Oh whaaat. Which consoles were hecking it up? I remember being mad.

It took about a year for it to get near-full compatibility with old games since it was emulated on the 360.

The one I remember being really weird was the PS3.
