| Raven said: I have a hard time believing Nintendo would risk resetting their userbase even when the Switch 2 finally releases. Rumors suggest the next Xbox and PS consoles will be BC with the current gen, so Nintendo forcing everyone to restart would just be a sore spot for marketing. But as for the OP specifically, I seriously doubt it would be a brand new system that breaks compatibility with the Switch if it's called the "Switch Pro". That would be super confusing, and be unlike any other mid-gen upgrade that they've released previously (Game Boy Color, DSi, New 3DS). |
They can always make the Switch 2 completely backwards compatible to sweeten the deal. Being able to play the previous lineup right off the bat is always a big plus, and I'm pretty sure the technology for it is not that complicated, especially if they still use the same cartridge format.
