Donkey Kong Country Returns' was one of the very best games on the Nintendo Wii, and now it's back and better than ever on the Switch.

Here's how the Nintendo Switch 2 could embrace Wii U and 3DS games using its new top USB-C port to provide dual-screen functionality.

Nintendo believes "the best direction" for the Switch 2 is to allow gamers "to play their already purchased Nintendo Switch software on the successor", though added the upcoming console wouldn't fully support every older title.

Even before Nintendo unveiled the Switch 2 in all its glory, one of the few confirmed things we knew was that it'd be backwards compatible with existing Switch games, and the company has now stated that this decision was made since it was "the best direction" for consumers.

The Nintendo Switch 2 will reportedly be backwards compatible with most Nintendo Switch 1 games, save for a certain few games players can expect.
