It's my birthday, and I want the upscaling, the single platform, the flexibility (sailing the high seas), but it's soooo old. $200? IDK

~~all~~ no switch games will work on switch ~~1 or~~ 2!

This is Nintendo we are taking about after all

Nintendo traditionally has only broken backwards compatibility as part of a major change in form factor. The Wii could play Gamecube games, the Wii U could play Wii games. The Gameboy Colour could play Gameboy games, the Gameboy Advance could play Gameboy Colour games, the DS could play Gameboy Advance games, the 3DS could play DS games.

Given the Switch 2 is still a hybrid handheld, it would be out of character for them to break it.

I'm all for bashing Nintendo but this one is a straight up mistruth.
