    I’d say there’s a good chance of BC since they’ve supported it for every handheld as well as 2 TV console gen switchovers (GC to Wii, Wii to Wii U).

      I find it so comical, that is Nintendo fans are saying something so logical and uncontroversial, yet say it with a lot of doubt, since Nintendo could very well fuck us over for no gain at all.

          As long as the Switch’s successor is still ARM based there is no reasonable excuse to not make it backwards compatible

            Even stuff like the Steam Deck can play emulated Switch games, and that’s an x86 PC, a machine with a more similar architecture should absolutely have no problem with it.

            Doesn’t mean I’m banking on backwards compatibility though.
