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

Guess what Nintendo? Backwards compatibility has been confirmed using this EMULATOR, but it won't be played on your hardware anymore.

Or it will be just a hardware revision instead of an actual new console.

As in I ain't buying anymore Nintendo consoles anyway so it doesn't matter what they release.

Oh no, but that's illegal. Please don't. - love, Nintendo

I willing to bet the new console isn't significantly better hardware (which was already outdated when the Switch released), but just made to have a system the didn't already have emulators for it. The Switch emulators work perfectly (better than the console). The new one probably is focused specifically at preventing them from working and not being a better device for consumers.
