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.

nothing is really destroyed. everything is online using torrents. no one can defeat Piracy ... until all the games become streamed cloud games ofc , that is you cant have the game files at all ., but this needs the whole world to have very fast internet ... maybe in 10 years from now.
