For all Nintendo's faults (and boy do they have them in spades), Nintendo are pretty good for this.
Gameboy Colour could play Gameboy games
Gameboy Advance could play GB/CBC
DS/DS Lite could play GBA
3DS could play DS
Wii could play GameCube
Wii U could play Wii
To me it'd be very surprising if the Switch 2 couldn't play Switch games.
Generally unless they want a serious form factor or major architectural change, Nintendo retains backwards compatibility.
