Curious if these carts remain compatible with Switch 1, booting back into the base game.
The switch 2 is a completely different console to the old one. So it’s actually running a switch emulator.
Based on that I’m certain that you can just plop in any switch game and it will just run.
That would be really interesting, because it would mean they either emulate the game on switch 2 even though it is a special cartridge for the switch 2 edition, or they have some kind of universal binary that works on both (which I don't think is possible without duplicating a lot).
