Nintendo Switch 2 will have backwards compatibility with Switch games, and Nintendo Switch Online will be coming back too
"Nintendo Switch software will a🐽lso be playable onꦇ the successor to Nintendo Switch"

Backwards compatibilitꦡy b✅etween the Nintendo Switch 2 and its predecessor has been confirmed.
In an announcement early this morning, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa said that "at today's corporate management policy briefing, we announced that Nintendo Switch software will also be playable on the successor to Nintendo Switch." That means that all of your current Switch games will work on the Switch 2, which should make the, ahem, switch to the new hardware easier when๊ it comes.
This i𒊎s 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…
Furukawa also explained that "Nintendo Switch Online will be available on the successor to Nintendo Switch as well." Given the recurring income Nintendo gets from its online services, it's no huge surprise that it would be maintaining the subscription through its next generation, even if we had to finally say goodbye to the Wii U/🍬3☂DS era earlier this week.
Sadly, Furukawa remained pretty light on detওails. He closed his statement by saying that "further information ab🌱out the successor to Nintendo Switch, including its compatibility with Nintendo Switch, will be announced at a later date."
That remains in-line with Nintendo's previously-mentioned plans - the company has recently reaffirmed its plans to officially announce t𒁃he Switch 2 before April 2025, and it's looking increasingly likely that we won't hear about the new console beꦓfore next year at this point. Of course, those details will also include the console's official name, which seems unlikely to be Switch 2, but which Furukawa is also firmly not giving away with that repeated use of 'the successor to the Nintendo Switch'.
