I have a strong feeling that a switch 2 will be backwards compatible. If it's not then that's a big f up

Not to mention that, assuming they're just using a more modern nvidia SOC, it'll be pretty easy to make it backwards compatible as it's pretty much designed to be backwards compatible as-is.

The switch's successor will just be able to handle more modern games better and remove existing performance issues. And maybe have a 1080p screen.

Wasn’t the Wii U backwards compatible as well? That and the name didn’t seem to help it at all.

The Wii was a dying console when the Wii U was released. Once Nintendo made enough Wiis for people to get their Wii Sports fix, sales plummeted. There were some really good games made for the Wii in the second half of its life…but they didn’t sell that well. (At least this is what I remember)
