      Did they say for sure that there will not be any game announcements before April? I was hoping, since Nintendo has officially announced the system, developers would start listing it as a release target for their games. Even Nintendo might have a new game trailer and put a sneaky “for the Switch 2” at the end.

        they did not, but I am assuming the date in April is when we would see anything regarding it.

        side note, I hate the name switch 2. why not super switch? 😭

      On the bright side it confirms backwards compatibility which is big.

        There is a note in the trailer that some Nintendo Switch 1 games won’t be fully compatible, wonder what the differences are that makes a game compatible or not

          There is no IR-sensor. So maybe the 3 games using them are not compatible.

          I’m thinking Labo and ring fit because the console and controller dimensions are different.

            I would hope you can still pair an old controller for that

            My switch mostly get used for ring fit these days.

              Ring Fit is such a fun game! It really gamified exercise in a way that even my ridiculous ADHD brain can’t resist.

              Still haven’t gotten past that level with like 120 squats though.

          I am expecting something similar to PS5 backward compatibility, I think there were 11 or 12 games, out of thousands, that had compatibility issue, and even then some of those are playable, just crash now and then.

          I’m thinking since there’s no camera at the bottom, some games like the newest warioware won’t work

        If fairly priced it’s a great choice if one has been waiting for Switch Pro

      Huh. I thought it was February because Eurogamer linked the US trailer. I had to go double check. You’re correct.
