Backwards compatibility is key to me given how much digital content I have bought. Would be even better if I could play all the digital 3DS games I bought at somepoint. Surely 3DS and GC will be next in the virtual consoles on a more powerful machine. I feel like many Wii and WiiU titles are aleady on Switch in some 'remastered' form. However, there needs to be some good reason to upgrade as I can play an extensive library of good looking games on my OLED switch already. I do believe Metroid 4 will be like Breath of the Wild or Twilight Princess i.e. spanning both consoles, but with performance tweaks (raytracing, higher res and better frame rate) on the Switch 2.
I cant help but think this is a ruse to put people off. Look at the consoles Nintendo have released: N64, GC, Wii, 3DS (ok, maybe not Wii U). All have offered something new or revolutionary. These look like a Switch Pro (bigger screen, faster internals) but nothing else. I will be very disappointed if that is the case with the Switch 2 and will probably keep the original and just use my Steam Deck.
Wasn't it rumoured to be a dual screen on the Switch 2?
Tried redeeming a game code and my 3DS now tells me codes can no longer be redeemed. Trying online just gets a 902-3279 error..never seen that before. You can still purchase games in the eshop, but I see no reason they should stop the codes working now.
I have a boxed new 3DS which I may well hack, however I also have a new 3DS XL Ambassador chock full of digital titles. I cannot see the logic behind the current pricing. Surely better to have a blow out sale. They would make a fortune.

Re: Poll: How Often Do You Trade-In Your Switch Games?
I never 'trade' games, I just sell them on FB Marketplace or a specialist games forum.
