Nintendo has a bad reputation for its online infrastructure, and is often ridiculed for adopting the latest technology and features (such as voice chat). This includes migrating user data between old and new consoles. Luckily, Nintendo seems to be considering facilitating that at least before the launch of its next console.
and When asked late last week if Nintendo Switch purchases will carry over to future consoles, President and CEO Shuntaro Furukawa said (via Google Translate): We will do our best to ensure a smooth transition for you while using your Nintendo Account. This seems to suggest that Nintendo is at least considering the possibility of carrying over the current Nintendo Switch titles purchased through the eShop. Of course, Nintendo doesn’t comment on future hardware that hasn’t been announced yet, so take this with a grain of salt.
By the way, the previous generation . This is in stark contrast to Sony and Microsoft, where most last-gen console games run on newer consoles. And unlike Microsoft and Sony, Nintendo likes to spice up the controller design on virtually every new console. As such, it may not be possible to get the game to work on both newer and older generation consoles.
At the very least, Nintendo is considering making improvements for future consoles. It’s always been a big disappointment, especially for digital game buyers, when previously owned titles don’t carry over to new consoles. Being able to play PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S and X, and possibly Xbox 360 titles is particularly infuriating. And in the case of Microsoft, the company can also take over certain physical titles. Therefore, Nintendo is considering several options for taking over existing games. We hope it works with all the Switch games that people have accumulated over the years, regardless of what Nintendo’s next console looks like.
