Yeah I'm guessing the switch 2 is going to be the switch but slightly more powerful, using similar hardware to maintain compatibility with older switch titles. Meaning their new console is likely going to be able to be emulated at or very shortly after launch. Instead of competing on features, like upscaling, mod support, third party peripherals, etc, they've decided to sue people until the problem vanishes. So classic corpo Nintendo dumbshittery.

I own ToTK and 2 switches. I still emulate it. Nintendo your hardware is hot ass, your controllers have major drift issues, your online service is barely functional, and I don't want to pay to back up my own goddamn saves.

The Tegra processor in the switch was like 2 years old when the switch was released. How much you wanna bet they release the Switch 2 with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 (at best) in 2025 and call it a day? They know that emulating the Switch with that hardware will be possible right out of the gate on day 1 with current technology.
