Enhanced TOTK...I need.

It's been so bizarre when Nintendo, the company who has historically been best with BC, who's already said they wanted to use their new Nintendo account to "preserve your purchases going forward", had people doubting if they'd offer BC on the successor to the third best selling game console of all time.
If that's true then BotW/TotK about ot get another few Years of multi-million sales for sure as they won't be obsoleted until the next game which is probably 2-3 years away at least.
Xeno games gonna have a bigger pop-in distance. For sure.
Maybe something like 120hz support for the likes of metroid dread/Mario Kart 8 deluxe

My hot take is that I don't really know why there was any doubt about this. After the N64, Nintendo's always been good about backwards compatibility: Wii was backwards compatible with GCN, Wii U was backwards compatible with Wii, GBA was backwards compatible with GB/GBC games, DS was backwards compatible with GBA games, and 3DS was backwards compatible with DS and even DSi games. The only real exception thus far has been the Switch itself, which makes sense because it's a totally different beast from the 3DS and Wii U. I suppose Switch 1 games getting enhanced sounds neat.
One thing that has sucked is Virtual Console constantly being rebooted every platform. Hopefully everything on NSO right now is available day 1 on Switch 2.

Hoping this is exactly as rumoured. I believe in BC for sure, but wasn't sure how it would be implemented - Thought there might be a possibility for digital only. If it includes physical I am super curious about the implementation. Are they including Switch 1 architecture or have they found a software solution?
Still also curious to see if Switch 2 carts will physically differ from Switch 1 carts, like the small notch we saw on 3DS games compared to DS ones.
Promising news about the ability for devs to enhance Switch 1 titles though, that's the real megaton here!

I believe there were some early rumors that Nintendo was looking into Switch 2 not being BC. I think that started getting everyone spooked.
First game I thought of. God I'd hope for an enhancement for it
Devs have access
doesn't mean they have to use it ;)
18fps Scarlet and Violet with hitches for life!
1) It was always very, very clearly going to be BC. Nintendo has made it extraordinarily clear since literal day 1 that the current gen Switch would be the foundation of what would come next, and every decision they've made regarding architecture, infrastructure, and services/accounts has clearly kept that goal in mind.
2) Anyone who ever thought digital BC but not physical or vice versa was even a thing that was plausible literally just never had any idea what they were talking about, lol.

The reason I've been banking some switch games, betting big they'll run nicely on a Switch 2. Don't break my heart Ninty. I'm about 70/30 physical-digital on Switch (mostly due to it being a HUGE PAIN to deal with three switches in the household who all wanna play games), which has been making me super nervous.
Why do I feel like we're going to have to pay for these enhancements lol
I mean I hope not but if anyone would do it would be Nintendo

Some of Nintendo's recent releases had me thinking they intended to fix the obvious tech issues with the next console, Tears of the Kingdom being the obvious example. I guess I'm kinda happy that it will be possible. I expect them to make it a crappy process though. Like, they will either charge for the upgrades or they'll be too slow with the next gen patches or they simply won't patch some games that could use a performance boost.
Damn Switch sales are going to continue going strong if they really are going to be enhanced in Switch 2. TOTK and BOTW at 60hz 1080p-4k is the dream
Nintendo has happily allowed my purchased Virtual Console library from the Wii/Wii U days to rot. Recent history they have been disappointing with BC.
Am I mistaken, or didn't Sony already do this with some PS4 to PS5 versions?
Why in the world would they not support physical BC? Are you expecting them to use UMDs instead of cartridges? Have you forgotten how the 3DS handled multiple types of cartridges?
Back-compat is present to partners & testing is underway.
The major unknown seems to be the extent any such enhancements may provide.
The answer will be either "because Nintendo!" or "of course they want you to rebuy everything again!" (a money-making ploy so obvious that Nintendo, MS, and Sony all forgot it several times and the entire PC and mobile markets missed it entirely).
