Since Nintendo officially revealed Switch 2, all of the eyes were in April. Then, we are supposed to get the date of an official version of the switch 2, the price, and confirm the collection of games. So the last thing I expected is to fall off Nintendo last Directly a week before that, packed with large names like Pokémon Legends ZA and Metroid Prime 4. But perhaps looking at Nintendo obligations to backward compatibility, I should not be very surprised.
Before Nintendo Direct this week, Nintendo was keen to reduce expectations by advertising “There will be no updates about Nintendo Switch 2 during the presentation.” Although this is technically true – Switch 2 was not mentioned regardless of a reminder about the next and new direct and new game sharing system – it is not a big jump to say that everything we saw this week will be operating on Switch 2, even if it was official, Games come to the original switch.
It is a profitable situation for both sides for all concerned-and those who adhere to the OG key are still enthusiastic because the control unit enters its eighth year, and anyone can upgrade the switch 2 to do so safely in knowledge that he will have a wide-ranging catalog of games from the beginning.
Nintendo’s commitment to backward consensus is to contribute to what I think will be one of the most prominent transformations that we have seen among the generations of the console. Of course, most of them are excited to see what Switch 2 can do and what new games are, but by Play it safely with the devicesNintendo has all the rules covered. Based on the latest Nintendo Direct, you will not think that Nintendo is trying to sell the largest possible number of pre -orders to switch 2 in the period before people launch and persuade them to upgrade. This comprehensive approach must be applied. Nintendo says mainly, everyone is welcome, whether you are looking to buy a key 2 at all, upgrade downline, or you are content to keep the key you already own.
For this reason, there was no risk in displaying many switch games less than a week of custom Switch 2 drops, even when the Lower Nintendo Lower surface reduces more basis for the next caliphate. I am talking about it The default game card systemIt is an update that allows to switch owners to connect control units together and share digital games. It is a useful feature, especially with high digital games sales, and it is similar to the Steam Family Participation System. But why do you announce this at the end of the switching life cycle when the key is 2 literally weeks or months? You are supposed to make the transition to switch 2 smooth.
Some have indicated that the default game fine printing indicates the presence of “Switch 2 Edition” for some games. Whether this means that there are exclusive improvements to switching version 2 games that make them unspeakable with an older switch, or exclusive re -send that will only work on Switch 2, or anything else completely, still is a puzzle. But in the same way that Nintendo said, “Some Nintendo Switch games may not be supported or fully compatible with Switch 2” when it is announced, this precise printing is likely to cover Nintendo rules in the event of any non -purchase games.
Whatever this beautiful print, Nintendo seems to treat the way to switch 2 like the procession, like the way Apple is transmitted from the iPhone to another. You don’t have to upgrade but there are definitely benefits if you do this, and you can bring any games you had before to ride.
