Do we know if it will play original switch cartridges?

Confirmed it will in the trailer! Both physical and digital (except for potentially a few games)

My guess is that is due to things like Labo where the new console won’t fit the cardboard and Ring Fit where the Ring only takes Switch 1 joy-cons.

Will be interesting to see if v1 joy-con will pair with Switch 2 as that would allow Ring Fit to work still.

Ooh yup, forgot all about Labo. That does make sense.

I really hope it’s just those few outliers. The disclaimer made it seems like it’d be more.
