    I feel like the nes->snes, gb->gbc->GBA, ds->3ds, and wii->WiiU were all pretty similar advancements.

    In all of those except nes->snes you had backwards compatability, and the wii->WiiU had hardware backwards compatibility (which the switch 2 doesn’t, at least for controllers).

      Most of those “sequels” had something new and innovative and not just a spec bump. The Switch 2 does not really have anything so far

        You are right that it is more of just a spec bump, but given the warning that not all switch games may be compatible, I think the controllers are going to have different sensors (some have speculated a more mouse-like feature).

          I was going down the same path, but don’t forget about LABO requiring not just the same sensors, but also the same physical size screen and controllers. So even if everything else was backwards compatible, they’d have to include that text for that game series alone.
