    Nintendo: “Let’s force retro gamers to buy the Switch if they want to play our titles, by pressuring Steam to remove all Nintendo emulators, and by suing Switch emulators into oblivion.”

    Also Nintendo: “Why don’t retro gamers want to buy our products anymore?”

    However, PS3 architecture was so elaborate and unique that it remains next to impossible to emulate to this day

    I’m no expert on the subject, but I happen to know that RPCS3 exists, and they claim ~70% of titles are playable today.

      “Playable” is doing a lot of work.

      Don’t get me wrong: I’ve played through games with it and it’s really great. But there’s a ton of glitches and games that don’t play well. In another 5 or 10 years (hopefully I’ve upgraded my hardware by then) it’ll probably be great. But today it’s reserved for enthusiasts who enjoy tinkering with settings or playing less demanding games.

      Of course it will be Backwards Compatible.

      Don’t be silly.

      You will just purchase rent your old Switch games on the New Switch 2 Eshop2. Then you can play up to 30 days so long as it is on your Home Wifi, and you do not have guests over.
