They need to chill on releasing new generation consoles for a while (All of them, not just Nintendo). Give the current generation time for the game devs to fully utilize them. This constant upgrade in hardware for consoles is getting rather tired.

We’re coming up on 7 years for the switch, and it wasn’t exactly powerful when it released. Seems reasonable for them to refresh

Sure, refresh the hardware I guess - Can we make the dang thing compatible with the games we already have at least?!

I kinda doubt they wouldn’t, to be honest. Both the Wii and Wii U had one generation of backwards-compatibility. The Switch didn’t probably due to a combination of the form factor and the fact that nobody had Wii U games anyways. Also, the PS5 and Series X/S both have backwards-compatibility. There are issues with the classic console lifecycle, but this one has been solved for awhile now.
