180 It's Official: The "Switch 2" Will Be Backwards Compatible

Colette & Matt Have Entered the Chat

THIS IS FURUKAWA.

Nintendo has officially confirmed what we've all been waiting to hear. The successor to the Switch will play your existing library of games (and hopefully run them better!).

The news broke in a tweet after a CORPORATE MANAGEMENT POLICY BRIEFING, which is perfect timing since there's nothing else in the world or the news worth talking about.

Meanwhile, The New York Times' tech workers are on strike, which includes the team that supports Wordle. The Guild has asked subscribers to stop playing Wordle during the strike, which would break the years-long streaks of millions of players.

A "Mass Effect" TV show has been greenlit, and rumors of a "Warcraft 2" remaster are circulating.

Plus: More "Metaphor: ReFantazio," a new mobile "Wizardry" game, and a coffee table book filled with archival pages from EGM monthly.
