Backwards compatiblity for one generation is the bare minimum.

Why make your games backwards compatible, if you can rerelease them for a premium? ๐Ÿค‘

well i think the switch was only not backwards compatible with the wii u because like the switch from discs to cartridges and from power pc to arm like it just wasnt feasible i reckon. switch 2 from the leaks seems to be just a higher powered and slightly bigger nintendo switch so backwards compatibility is a no brainer. but its good to have the confirmation

These are all shortcomings because backwards compatiblity was not a consideration. Compare the Wii, which essentially had a whole GameCube in it for backwards compatiblity.
