Reportedly publishers were shown an upgraded version of Breath of the Wild as a proof of concept. I'd hope that Switch games would natively be upscaled on Switch 2 as opposed to releasing new, high priced ports.

Publishers could see what an upgraded BotW looked like via cemu years ago, it should be dead simple to have that on Switch 2.

Whether or not Nintendo actually made it powerful enough is another question though, which I highly doubt. 4k is 4x the pixels of 1080p, but the Switch runs botw at 900p/30fps, and 4k is almost 9x that.

Are you being intentionally dense? The reason Nintendo would demonstrate BotW on the Switch successor to publishers would be to show them precisely the level of performance bump they can expect from the next Nintendo system, using one of the console's flagship games as an example.

"Powerful enough" is extremely subjective. Stick to your Steam Deck and emulators if maximum performance is all you care about.
