my guess is the backwards compatibility is the reason they went after those because it means switch 2 games are probably as easy to emulate as switch games, as they share the same structure, operating system and so on. they probably didnt like that. im not shilling for nintendo with this meme, i just thought it was neat to get that confirmed because we didnt really know what the case would be.

i mean maybe they announce how to transfer your save data or if certain titles will get patches to improve performance. idk nintendo is often vague in these statements and “more info” could mean anything and nothing

maybe altho they seem more keen to work on a single system and have it be more of an upgrade each time. also its worth pointing out that leadership at nintendo has changed quite a bit and they restructured the whole company in 2015 in order to focus on just one system at a time. So who knows. All I can say is its good to have it confirmed that the next system is backwards compatible, because we werent 100% on that.

yeah at this point id just wait for the next one, furukawa said it will be announced before april 2025 so it will come out sometime next year

i also have a steamdeck. i just thought it was neat that this was confirmed, its not deeper than that

well i think the switch was only not backwards compatible with the wii u because like the switch from discs to cartridges and from power pc to arm like it just wasnt feasible i reckon. switch 2 from the leaks seems to be just a higher powered and slightly bigger nintendo switch so backwards compatibility is a no brainer. but its good to have the confirmation
