    That’s interesting.

    If Switch 2 is completely backwards compatible with Switch games, and Switch ( or Switch Lite) is much cheaper than Switch 2, I can see some people getting Switch instead.

    Let’s see what happens.

      My Switch games collection is the biggest games collection I’ve ever had, so it better be backwards compatible 😅

        Haha, same here. Not counting subscription games, my Switch games library is bigger than my PS5, PS3 and PS Vita’s library combined.
