Maybe this is why they’re going so hard on switch emulators this past year. The switch 2 might be built similar enough to the 1 that switch 2 games are already able to be backed up without needing to learn anything new
That’s exactly what I’m thinking as well. When and if it gets confirmed that the cartridge slot is exactly the same (don’t see why it wouldn’t be) and can read Switch carts, that will probably be it.
More than likely though, Switch 2 carts will have a different type of encryption that things like the Mig switch probably won’t be able to read without an update
Just because the cartridge slot is compatible with old Switch games doesn’t necessarily mean they can’t use a different communication protocol for the new cartridges to prevent them from getting dumped
In fact, that is almost guaranteed to be the case, because otherwise the Switch 2 would be launching with a flashcard available for it on day 1.
Also a good point. It would be surprising if the protocol wasn’t changed either for the slot itself.
Should be interesting to see how it blocks flashcarts.
More likely a physical tab to stop new carts in old consoles. Look at DS vs 3DS carts
