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

"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 president Shuntaro Furukawa, on Wednesday, confirmed in a social-media post that Switch software will be playable on the successor to the game system.

During its latest financial results, Nintendo revealed some more details about the successor to the Nintendo Switch. Specifically, Nintendo confirmed that people will be able to play their Nintendo Switch games on the new system.

Nintendo hasn’t announced its Switch successor yet, but we do know one thing for sure: it will be able to play current Switch games and have carryover for your Nintendo Switch Online services and account. The news was announced during Nintendo’s midyear policy briefing, with further information promised “at a later date.”

Nintendo has announced that the Switch 2 will play games made for the original console. Even though the company still hasn’t officially announced the device, it’s been dropping hints about what the successor to the Switch will have to offer for nearly a year now.

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.

It's unclear yet how the Switch successor will approach backward compatibility, but Nintendo is promising details at a later date on this feature.

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.
