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.
unfortunately, hardware changes sometimes don’t make it easy or affordable, as we’ve seen with lots of consoles in the past not having BC
in the switch’s case moving away from the tegra X1 might make it not happen
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.
