Nintendo confirms Switch's successor will be backwards compatible

My guess is BC is achievable through an emulation layer largely and they can do things like add higher resolution/higher frame rate patches as a result.

But of course the catch will be this ... you'll have to pay for those patches. Nintendo can make a fortune charging people $10-$15 for a "next-gen" patch of Switch 1 titles.

I hope for a "boost mode" similar to PS4 Pro / PS5 Pro for free... so more stable 30 or 60 fps and the upper ceiling of dynamic resolutions automatically.

And if they put more effort in Switch 2 enhancements (next-gen patches with better textures, better postprocessing, either higher resolution or double fps), I would pay $10 - $15 for my favorite Switch1-games.
