Backward compatibility has always been a thorny issue for new consoles. Just weeks before the PS5 released in 2020, Sony refused to acknowledge whether it existed despite pressure from critics and fans.

The Nintendo Switch 2's specs are still a bit of a mystery, but the one official video teaser still revealed a lot.

Nintendo at last unveiled its successor to the popular Switch console on Thursday, a major moment for the video game industry that will arrive sometime this year. The release of a new console will be a key milestone in Nintendo’s history after the company released the Switch in 2017 to fanfare and acclaim.
