I’m of the impression that the Nintendo Switch 2 version of Elden Ring is shaping up to be a rather impressive affair. I don’t know whether I can definitively state that it will be the richest in graphical detail (of the Switch 2 games released thus far), but it’s clear to me that what’s being prepared for us is mightily handsome. I couldn’t be more excited.
I honestly think the Nintendo Switch’s successor will be impressive as hell. Backwards compatibility is a non-negotiable, however. As another commenter previously stated, the Switch’s library is stellar (for my money, it’s among the greatest - if not THE greatest - any platform has ever seen), and to not carry that legacy forward would be absurd.
The possibilities are so exciting. As impressive as the Nintendo Switch still is, it’s well and truly ancient. The new tech would be great for what you’re writing about.
As an aside, I’d like ports of the Resident Evil 4 remake, Elden Ring and Baldur’s Gate 3. The new hardware should be powerful enough.
“Tears of the Kingdom” has been a monumental success for Nintendo, and for good reason. That this game is now one of Twitch’s “most-watched” needn’t be surprising, given the vast creativity it affords its players. Certainly, the game is at least as fun to watch as it is to play.
I’ve only replied to myself to acknowledge (for the sake of others) that I’m late to this comments section. “Tears of the Kingdom” is now out, but “Breath of the Wild” still is, even after the launch of its sequel, superlative.
Although my vote fell under the “Kind of? I’m sitting on the fence here” category, I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that much of what makes “The Legend of Zelda” series as formidable as it is has to do with the sense of discovery and adventure it provides the player, on a moment-to-moment basis. As a relatively older man (I’m now in my late thirties), I’ll never forget how magical and bittersweet leaving Saria for Hyrule Field felt in “Ocarina of Time.” Indeed, that Nintendo has been able to reinvent this series as it has is simply astonishing. “Breath of the Wild” was, and still is, a masterclass in game design, and “Tears of the Kingdom,” as far as I’m concerned, has taken things to multiple other levels (no pun intended).

@Serpenterror
This makes all the sense in the world. Backwards compatibility is happening, I have to believe.

@Sequel
Yes!!! An Ocarina of Time remake with Switch-successor tech would be bonkers. I’ve daydreamed about this.
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Was One Of Twitch's "Most Watched" Games In May
@NinjaNicky I certainly understand your sentiment.
