The Switch 2 will be a day 1 buy if it keeps the hybrid design and has full Switch backward compatibility...

Not holding my breath for the latter, though =/

This is Nintendo.... They'll make you rebuy everything if you want to play it on the new console.

This really isn't accurate - Nintendo has been very good about bc traditionally, when bc is feasible with changing form factors. GBA, DS, 3DS, Wii, Wii U all had bc.

And fall into piracy field if you can't rebuy their games.
