Playtonic Games has once again teased that the upcoming Yooka-Replaylee will be coming to the Switch 2 console. Yooka-Replaylee, for the uninitiated, is an extensive remaster of 2017's Yooka-Laylee, itself a spiritual successor to Rare's beloved Banjo-Kazooie franchise.

While the Switch 2 may be backwards compatible, Nintendo would not confirm whether we'll still be able to use our old cartridges.

Nintendo might announce more aspects of the Switch 2 before it’s actually revealed, as this information demonstrates. But do not expect an actual look at the hardware before 2025, and don’t be shocked if it looks…a lot like the current Switch with better graphics.

The next Nintendo console will play games from the original Switch--here's everything we know and what questions remain unanswered.

"At today's Corporate Management Policy Briefing, we announced that Nintendo Switch software will also be playable on the successor to Nintendo Switch," Nintendo posted in a social media update attributed to company president Shintaro Furukawa. "Nintendo Switch Online will be available on the successor to Nintendo Switch as well."

Nintendo may be on the cusp of revealing the successor to the wildly successful Switch, but the company won't leave its old console completely in the dust. In a recent briefing, Nintendo confirmed the Switch 2 (or whatever Nintendo calls it) will be backward compatible with games for the original Switch.

Who needs a dock? Play these top games on the Switch Lite, Nintendo's strictly mobile, lower-cost version of the popular console.

The DS and 3DS gave us some strong Zelda games, like Spirit Tracks and A Link Between Worlds, but they shouldn't be trapped there.

A recently surfaced rumor claims that the Switch 2 may incorporate a somewhat technical feature that's not very Nintendo-like.
