Nintendo Switch 2 will be backwards compatible.
That's according to Nintendo Universea Portuguese website that claims the Switch 2 will not only have backwards compatibility with Switch titles currently available on Nintendo's handheld system, but developers will also be able to “enhance” these games thanks to the additional processing power.

The report – which hails from the Portuguese podcast X do Controle by PH Brazil and was shared across social media by Centro Leaks – further asserts that rumors about a Nintendo Direct coming next week are indeed true, and claims that we'll finally have confirmation about Nintendo's badly-kept secret system at a hardware reveal event sometimes in March.
There are also rumors that we'll be getting a Pokémon presentation later this month, too (thanks, TheGamer).

Fans are particularly excited because Universo Nintendo has previously, and correctly, revealed the details of unannounced Nintendo Directs ahead of time, as well as dropped the name of Sonic x Shadow Generations early, too.
In related news, yesterday we reported on a new report that also claims Nintendo Switch 2 is expected later this year and will feature a custom-made Nvidia chip.
Nvidia is reportedly building an entirely new business unit to focus on designing bespoke chips for hardware firms and has designed a custom design for the next iteration of Nintendo's handheld system. The report adds credence to rumors that Nvidia had also been courting Microsoft to secure the contract for next-gen's Xbox console recently, too.
Last month, Apex Legends maker EA said it can't “acknowledge” Switch 2, but “new platforms are good for us”, following a report that Switch 2 will feature a larger eight-inch LCD screen.
