the switch is still selling like hotcakes
if they came out with a new system that isn't backwards compatible they'd be shooting themselves and every other game dev in the foot
they have over 120 million install base for the og switch
it would be stupid to abandon that market
still, i refuse to believe the switch hasnt yet surpassed ds or PS2 sales despite having such a neat exclusive library
Consoles really are the devil.
The fact you have to wonder whether the new version of hardware will still function with your current library is fricking moronic.
Imagine buying a new microwave and you have to ask whether it's backwards compatible with the bag of chicken tenders you already own.
It's almost confirmed by now, especially when you look at what Furukawa says in the investor Q&A sections. Just look at the software sales in the latest financial report, anyone who spouts the "but they can take forever to drip feed le remasters" is a fricking moron. Nintendo is not going to want a full reset, shitting up their own profits, so they have to spend years building up a library to get to this point again.
They released ToTK at the ass end of the switch life cycle.
What are they gonna do, release a slight upgrade on the new system and ask everyone to pay full price for it again just one year later?
I know wiiu owners like to b***h about nintendo doing this with most of the wiiu games with a damn to the switch and meme about them doing that for everything now, but it was the fricking wiiu, get over it.
Yes.
Maybe
I don't know.
What's this meme?
Are you fricking underage?

Compatible to play the games? yes
But you will have to buy them again
Ten dollar obligatory upgrade cost
can you repeat the question?
I definitely won't be buying it if it doesn't have backwards compatibility. But it probably will for reasons other anons have said.

>food analogy
There is literally nothing wrong with food analogies.
Alright Black person.
Imagine buying a new couch and having to ask whether it's backwards compatible with your mom's fat ass.
*Sigh*
Was the racist slur really necessary?
That anon was out of line. I would never call anyone an ape. He's probably a filthy israelite.

>Are you fricking underage?
Yes but not at first and it will be online paid feature...
>tfw no comfy switch thread
its over
Possibly. MVG had a whole video about this
It's doable but it would require a concerted effort on Nvidia and Nintendo's part
Not with carts or digital downloads you already have but you'll be able to buy switch 2 compatible switch games on the eshop.
