    Knew it. This explains why 1st/3rd party game releases never dried up. The Yakuza 1 and Arkham trilogy ports would have never happened on a year 8 system without a promise of backwards compatibility.

    Yeah but can I play Metroid Prime 4 on it or not? That’s the whole reason I bought a Switch

    Edit: rather “do I have to have one to play it”

      They should just release metroid prime 5 at this point. Literally dump you into the game as if 4 actually existed.

    Nintendo Switch software will also be playable on the successor to Nintendo Switch.

    Hmm. I wonder if that means it will take the Switch’s physical carts?
