The Switch 2 might not be backwards compatible with Switch 1 games? This could be a massive mistake for Nintendo.

@kathaariancode: I’m aware, but it’s still a theory. He isn’t saying it’s for sure. Until Nintendo says anything it’s just something to think about. It’s a valid concern, I’ve watched multiple videos arguing both ways, but we’ll see.

I really want Techhog89 opinion on this, but we lost him to 4chan.

Is that where he is now? I was wondering what happened to him.

Edit: OT. Here's my thoughts on this:

I assume this is the case. Just from the way he talked to others, and, of couse, raged, i can 70% guarantee he spends a lot of time there.

@PurpleMan5000:

I don't mean it to be cynical. If I'm wrong, I'd be happy to be wrong because that means that we all win with our Switch games carrying over. This is just based on statements Nintendo already made about backwards compatibility for the Switch.

Not sure at this point choice plays into it. When Nintendo decided to partner with Nvidia for the Switch, it helped them make a quality product, but now Nvidia can basically leverage how crucial they are to Nintendo's next device and name their own price, demand a king's ransom be paid or force Nintendo to tell their base that their Switch successor won't be compatible with the Switch. That's what happens when you make a bargain with the devil.

You know nothing about PC gaming. There are loads of ways to get old PC games that don't work with a straight install on the latest hardware. I can play PC games on my modern 13th Gen i5 RTX 3080 PC that originally came out in the 1980's!

Yeah, this sucks on so many levels ... f

The DS had a DS cart slot and a GBA cart slot. Why couldn't the next system have a separate slot for og Switch carts?

I'll probably pass on switch 2 if this is the case. I'm done pretending that it's OK to buy a game and have to rebuy it over and over again. It's what suckers do and I'm no sucker. 🤘🤘

massive mistake. Switch has great games locked behind PS2 grade hardware. Should be able to play BOTW and TOTK in 1080p/60fps minimum on an OLED display.

I will be keeping my switch, and then buying a switch 2 pretty simple

@com2006: I prefer to give my older consoles to family members. When I buy a PS5, I will be giving my PS4 away. I don’t want to have a Switch 1 and Switch 2 at the same time.
