Almost all Switch games are natively compatible with the Switch 2. Stop spreading fake info, it does not help making whatever case you’re trying to make.
There’s a difference between switch 2 edition (upgraded versions) and original switch 1 versions. It can run both, you don’t need the upgrade (unless you want the newer features).
Yes there’s a lot of big differences, but Nintendo certainly demanded backwards compatibility from nVidia, so any major CPU and GPU instructions which games are dependent on are certainly either still implemented or emulated properly.
They’re still in the testing process for compatibility. Any change can break assumptions the developer made, even if it’s just tiny, so some games might need patches, but so far that’s very few games.
Yes the switch and the switch two uses ARM architecture but an arm5 differs enough from arm7 that you need a translation layer.
But what would give Nintendo more money, Proton on the system preinstalled or demanding the customer to pay up (which afaik was on one of the screens to see during the direct)
Those backwards compat costs ain’t optional either. Either payup (for each game) for super HD or don’t play your existing games at all.

They are not natively compatible. Otherwise every switch game will run just fine on the new one, right?

Uh do you have a source on that? Because both have a different architecture.
It’s all ARM with hardware from the same OEM.

So you don’t okay
