Backwards compatibility is the biggest decider for me on whether or not I'll keep a previous gen console. Thankfully, I've confirmed my entire Switch library is back compat, so my Switch 1 will be traded in. |
Are physical games BC without upgrade fee? As in can you run the Switch version on Switch 2, or does it have to be upgraded / downloaded ?
Is it like PS4 games on PS5 (upgrade optional), or like 360 games on XOne? (but with added fee)
Ahh found some answers

Most should be able to run from cartridge directly through emulation, but I guess no benefits then. Like PS4 (Pro enhanced) games on PS5.
They must do some upscaling then to the 1080p screen, or can they run in TV mode (boosted mode) on Switch 2?
Just more questions lol. |
Some games will get a free improvement. Probably just more stable performance, or resolution bumped to full 1080p on both tv and handheld.
All games will work for free regardless, other than the cardboard one.
They could've just had no upgrade packs and people probably wouldn't care that much. They've essentially done the exact same thing Sony did with PS5. No one really paid attention to it then. Imagine if they didn't have upgrade packs and still sold Switch 2 Editions for full price...
