While the former is an excellent addition, opening up the potential to support more accessories, the latter looks a little flimsy\u2014better than the nub that propped up the original Switch but less sturdy than the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/review\/nintendo-switch-oled\/\">Switch OLED\u2019s solid back-panel kickstand<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Speaking of the OLED Switch, and judging purely from the chunky bezel shown in the Switch 2 reveal, the new console may be reverting to an LCD panel. Again, this has been <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2024-01-26\/switch-2-nintendo-s-next-gen-console-to-have-8-inch-lcd-screen-omdia-says\" class=\"external-link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2024-01-26\/switch-2-nintendo-s-next-gen-console-to-have-8-inch-lcd-screen-omdia-says&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2024-01-26\/switch-2-nintendo-s-next-gen-console-to-have-8-inch-lcd-screen-omdia-says\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">rumored for a while<\/a>, but it will be hard not to see it as a bit of a step backward.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">The best takeaway from the reveal, though, is Nintendo immediately confirming backward compatibility with existing Switch games, both physically and digitally (albeit with a few as-yet -unspecified exclusions). That&#8217;s fantastic news for players who&#8217;ve spent the better part of a decade building up their libraries, and another example of Nintendo&#8217;s quiet confidence and sense of continuity. When you&#8217;ve racked up <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.nintendo.co.jp\/ir\/en\/finance\/hard_soft\/index.html\" class=\"external-link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.nintendo.co.jp\/ir\/en\/finance\/hard_soft\/index.html&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendo.co.jp\/ir\/en\/finance\/hard_soft\/index.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">1.3 <em>billion<\/em><\/a> software sales for your incredibly successful platform, why risk alienating those customers?<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">And that&#8217;s seemingly Nintendo&#8217;s strategy for Switch 2, in a nutshell: If it ain&#8217;t broke, why fix it? Players love the Switch as it is, the company&#8217;s main competitors are all emulating it to greater or lesser extents, and all signs point to \u201cmore but better\u201d being a compelling selling point.
