Will you buy Nintendo next handheld without Switch backward compatibility

Sure but it would be so much better of it had BC.... I mean, they will piss off a lot of people if they don't have it.
Would definitely make me lean way more towards no if Switch 2 doesn't have bc. If Switch 2 doesn't have bc with Switch 1 that's a big fucking L for Nintendo. No excuse for Switch 2 not to have bc with Switch 1.
No. Why would I invest in an ecosystem if it never provides me with an opportunity to play the games I buy there at a competent level hardware-wise? 15 fps in zelda games is unacceptable.
Literally zero reason it SHOULDN'T have BC. I'm ready to call them out on that anti-competitive BS if BC is missing.
Won't be fair for them to get a pass, when Sony got dragged for "limited" BC compared to Xbox just a few years ago. Keep that same energy.

Nah I wasted my money with switch. I have two here that only got a week's use. Nintendo ips just don't resonate with me anymore besides Mario abd even tht has lost its magic for me. Only thing that will change my mind is if they up their power level in hardware only because I love good, new tech. Switch wasn't the innovation many claimed I had a turbo express tht was doing most of what switch was doing years ago. I miss NEC in the gaming market.
If switch 2 has a similar architecture seems they will have much higher chances to offer BC. But part of Nintendo business model is offering new versions of barely older games with small tweaks at full price, specially when they are on dry periods of new software.
Moreover, I am not seeing the appeal on portability for these high end games. In the past Nintendo would put together specific games tailored to portables. Games that you could play in short bursts, with UIs designed for smaller screens and so on and so forth.
These days, third parties just put together butchered versions of what they released on home consoles and call it a day. Wouldn't even care about playing a game like Witcher 3 on a switch lite for instance.
