Switch Pro will be Tegra 2 most likely, so we dont talk about any huge difference in any case compared to current model, also you need to remember that same games would need to work on current Switch model also in any case, so from that point nothing will really change for 3rd parties.

We'll see. The leak in the Switch OS from hackers mentioned a Tegra 'Mariko' with custom model number that isn't the Tegra X2. 

X2 is actually a fairly old chip at Nvidia, they likely can give Nintendo something beyond that by 2019/2020. 

I'm not sure if Nintendo necessarily will mandate anything either, as far I know they didn't mandate for example that Minecraft had to work on all 3DS models (it only runs on New 3DS). It will be up to the developer I think. 

I mean maybe we will have bigger upgrade with Pro that X2, but offocurse that games would need to work with older Switch units in any case, at least huge majority liky in case of New 3DS or DSi. Buy time Pro model arrives (I dont think that first Switch revison will be Pro and that Pro will arive in 2019.) Switch will probably have install base of around 50m+, so making game that will not work on older units means huge majority of install base of platform cant play that game.
