Perhaps to give it more universal appeal, it&#8217;s said to feature a black and white colour scheme, not too dissimilar to the PS5, Xbox Series X and Series S.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>In terms of games, there&#8217;s a good chance the upcoming Metroid Prime sequel could launch as a cross-generation title for both the Switch and its successor.<\/p>\n<p>Nintendo has done this with games like Twilight Princess back on the Gamecube and Wii, as well as Breath of the Wild on the Wii U and Nintendo Switch.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of Breath of the Wild, there are reports that Nintendo showcased the power of the Switch 2 with a demo for the highly-rated Legend of Zelda release.<\/p>\n<p>The Switch 2 version featured enhanced visuals, and was reportedly running at 60 frames-per-second in 4K.<\/p>\n<p>Also, seeing as how Super Mario Odyssey launched all the way back in 2017, it feels like a brand new 3D Mario game is long overdue.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/entertainment\/gaming\/1973721\/nintendo-switch-2-backwards-compatibility\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UPDATE: Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has given his thoughts about Nintendo Switch 2 backwards compatibility.
