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.

For me the main issue is that I don’t see any NVIDIA SoC that’s much more powerful than what Switch has today that could be used on a new console. There’s Odin and some other chips but running on battery they are not very powerful and people is expecting PS4 graphics at least.
