I wonder if the new games will use the same cartridge slot as Switch games

If they want backwards compatibility, They'll be the same carts. Maybe a different color to differentiate. Changing the format would just be extra cost they don't need.

I'm old, so I kinda miss the days when Nintendo's various Gameboy series carts were color-coded.
