It’s basically the same. And it makes sense, it seems that’s what people want. But also, can Nintendo ever go back to the old ways? If ever they make something that isn’t a Switch, they’d have to develop two pieces of hardware, since they’re likely going to want both a home console and a handheld device. I think things might be like this forever.
I feel like the nes->snes, gb->gbc->GBA, ds->3ds, and wii->WiiU were all pretty similar advancements.
In all of those except nes->snes you had backwards compatability, and the wii->WiiU had hardware backwards compatibility (which the switch 2 doesn’t, at least for controllers).

Being Nintendo the fact that it is basically the same is the actual surprise.
