It was posted (DeepL translated) in the hardware thread, but this is the relevant question:I seemed to read on twitter that today Nintendo at the investor meeting has confirmed that the successor to Switch will be backward compatible, is this true? Thanks.
On the other hand, I haven't found the usual Q&A round.
Nintendo says the next generation hardware needs unique new experiences. (And about backward compatibility.)
Q5. You previously mentioned that you recognize that the issue in the game console business is that past software cannot be played due to hardware generation changes and that content is initialized. However, now, through the use of the Nintendo Account and backward compatibility with new hardware, it seems that content can be transferred semi-permanently in the dedicated game console business, just as with video games. I think there are both advantages and disadvantages to making newly released hardware backward compatible with previous hardware, but what kind of discussions are you having internally?
A5. Representative Director and Fellow Shigeru Miyamoto:
We used to offer a system called "Virtual Console" that allowed users to play old software on new hardware. In comparison, video can be enjoyed for a long time as long as there is a playback environment. However, the rights for video are complicated, so Nintendo is proceeding with the project with the rights firmly secured. Indeed, in the past, software development for game consoles was done in a dedicated development environment that differed for each hardware. Therefore, when the hardware changed, the development environment could not be inherited, and software released on past hardware could not be played without modification. Recently, however, the software development environment itself has gradually become more standardized, so it is generally easier to create a replay environment that allows software for past hardware to be played on new hardware. However, Nintendo's strength is in creating new games, so when we release new hardware in the future, we would like to propose unique games that cannot be realized on existing hardware.

Maybe she's a polygamist.Me: Can I get a couple splendas, the yellow ones? And a couple ketchup packets?
Girl at window: Yeah sure, but how many?
Me: Just.. a couple of each.
Girl: *throws her hands up a little* Look I'm gonna need a number, I need to know how many to give you, we can't just give out handfuls anymore
Me: Okay... two each?
Girl: Oh, okay that's fine then
Me: Sorry, I thought "couple" meant "two"
Girl: Well I thought it meant like five or six. *proceeds to hand me two ketchups and two pink sweet&lows*
...see I think part of the reason socializing gives me anxiety is because talking with people often makes me feel like I'm losing my fucking mind

Like a weight lifted off my shoulders, thank you mr president@chocolate_supra congrats on your debt relief
