Nintendo has a very strong history of BC long before it was cool, what with the GBC, GBA, DS, Wii, Wii U, and 3DS having immediate compatibility at least one gen behind. The Switch likely would have attempted to maintain backwards compatibility too if its design concept wasn't in fundamental opposition to the Wii U's and 3DS's.Unfortunately, the Splatoon 3 servers are seeming to have a lot of problems recently. Hopefully this can be addressed soon. The game doesn't seem to be running anywhere near as well as it did around launch.
I am VERY CURIOUS if Splatoon 3, Mario Rabbids 2, and Bayo3 were supposed to be on mythical new hardware. Couple of weeks and we will see how both Rabbids2 and Bayo 3 run on OG Switch.
If they run bad, I personally wish nintendo may have considered holding more of these games until the new hardware would be released.
Seems likely imo, new hardware in coming in 2023. Question is... will it be BC. I have heard both sides of this. Will it be BC at Home only? (Built into the dock).
Of course, then Nintendo went with an NVIDIA chipset and several more hardware specs that would make such a feat nigh impossible, so depending on the order these decisions are made I could be entirely wrong. Could also be that Nintendo switched to NVIDIA specifically because of the existence of the NVIDIA SHIELD as well.
Regardless, I expect Nintendo to see the Switch audience too large and too engaged with the existing platform for them to be able to afford to reset the library completely, especially now that every major competitor on the market has swallowed the bullet and maintained backwards compatibility like Nintendo historically is so well known to do.
