Nintendo has confirmed a new console will be backward compatible with Switch games.

The next Nintendo console should still be a combo console with handheld and TV-docking modes.

It won't be surprising if it's called a Switch 2 or a Super Nintendo Switch , but Nintendo can be unpredictable.

Reports say the next console will have an 8-inch screen, USB-C ports on the top and bottom of the console.

Nintendo 's Switch 2 will be announced by the end of its fiscal year , which is March 2025 .

The current-gen Switch had its own surprises baked in, like its infrared camera on one of the Joy-Cons .

An unveiling after the holidays would make a lot more sense.

Buying Switch games feels safe, but I'd hold back on any Switch hardware purchases until 2025 .
