I completely disagree with this whole article lol. A Switch 2 would absolutely need to be backward compatible in order to remain relevant. A new switch that couldn't play the vast library it's accumulated would be a financial disaster for nintendo. Unlike when the Switch first came out, the handheld market is saturated, the main thing the switch has going for it is that huge game library available... and of that's not playable on a new switch, why wouldn't I just keep my old switch so I could play all those old games and then buy a Steam Deck instead for new games?
