Although there won&#8217;t be any revelations about the Switch 2, the majority of the games showcased will be compatible with the new console due to <a data-i13n=\"cpos:3;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/gaming\/nintendo\/youll-be-able-to-play-your-nintendo-switch-games-on-its-successor-045657774.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:backwards compatibility;cpos:3;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">backwards compatibility<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Given that this Direct isn&#8217;t specifically categorized as an Indie World Direct, which typically highlights indie games, the exact content of this event remains somewhat ambiguous.
