The Switch 2 will be revealed soon, but will it have enough power to satisfy couch gamers looking for a 4K experience? How will backwards compatibility work?...
For Nintendo, the main purpose is to put a dent in piracy.
You can bet your ass anti-piracy measures will be the biggest upgrades made to the console.
Switch games were being emulated quickly after release and there’s a lot of PCs with the same form factor now that are technically beefy enough to emulate stuff. (*looks at SteamDeck)
This breaks the previous emulation cycle and gives them a chance to boost anti-piracy measures since they’re clearly not beefing up the Switch 2 to PC hardware standards.
The hardware will defnitely be emulatable on other systems, so they have to dump everything into anti-piracy measures.
I mean they don’t have to but this is Nintendo we are talking about here.
