I have a strong feeling that a switch 2 will be backwards compatible. If it's not then that's a big f up

Not to mention that, assuming they're just using a more modern nvidia SOC, it'll be pretty easy to make it backwards compatible as it's pretty much designed to be backwards compatible as-is.

The switch's successor will just be able to handle more modern games better and remove existing performance issues. And maybe have a 1080p screen.

Wasn’t the Wii U backwards compatible as well? That and the name didn’t seem to help it at all.
