Unlike Wii U to Switch

i mean i think only XB has more than 1 generation of backwards support.

sony/nintendo have always only been 1 gen of backwards upport. (gamecube to wii, wii to wii u, ps2 to ps3 early on models)

Wait a minute! No one at Nintendo has said their next effort is going to be called the Switch 2 or even look the same or similar as the current Switch.

Are we jumping the gun a wee bit here?

This is likely the main reason behind Nintendo’s recent campaign to destroy all that is related to switch emulation. It stands to reason that if the new hardware is compatible with the old, then an emulation engine could simply be modified/upgraded to support the new system without much effort. Relatively speaking of course.
