    Honestly, it could hurt it sales a lot. Historically, a lot of successful Nintendo systems had backwards comparability as a major selling point.

      I don’t understand your point. How is blocking emus ruining the Switch 2’s backward compatibility?

        I’m saying that blocking backwards comparability can hurt sales, not the other way around. If the Switch 2 can run GBA or DS game, it’d be a huge selling point.

          Oh ok, so not really relevant to the anti-emu topic—but I totally agree with your point. Imagine if they released an attachment that let you assemble the joycons and the screen in a vertical position for DS games? If they have the google thing for Virtual Boy, I don’t see how they couldn’t make this possible. In the meantime, I play GBA to 3DS games on my hacked 3DS.
