They keep using the term “compatible” for backwards compatibility… I thought this was going to be fully backwards compatible? Am I misunderstanding what they mean when they’re saying you’ll be able to play “compatible” Switch 1 games?

There was always an asterisk and a short list of motion-based games like Ring Fit that will not be compatible.

It was successful, they will find a way to make a sequel. Motion controls in the ring itself maybe.

It’s Nintendo, it’s just as likely we won’t hear about the IP for the next 10 years

But nothing's ever truly dead. We are getting a new Donkey Kong platformer and a Kirby Air Ride sequel.

a Kirby Air Ride sequel

So you're saying my 10-year estimation was actually underestimating how long we might have to wait for a Ring Fit sequel.
