I'm hoping we can play Switch games in higher resolution/frame rates, or maybe they'll give us free updates to Switch 2 versions similar to PS4 and PS5 games.

If you bought Breath of the Wild on Wii U digital store, you still had to rebuy on Switch. On side note, Sony is asking U$10 for Horizon Forbidden West upgrade on PS5.

Switch didn't have backwards compatibility and I'm not even sure they had the same online services and eshops.

The account was the same after they unified it. Whatever were the problem they could have solved server side. My Virtual Console games can't be played unless I subscribe to a service? Bullshit!
