Yup, there's a whole lot of games that would benefit from similar treatment. Hopefully more will come within the next 6 months, but it's disappointing Nintendo weren't better prepared with back compat features.

When was the last time a console had some kind of backwards compatibility?
Plus the great library of games from previous Nintendo consoles.
I have to say for all the flak that Nintendo have been receiving, a little over £400 for a new gen console today, with a new game, plus the backward compatibility, plus the library of previous Nintendo console games, all in 1 eco system, it cant be that bad.
Im very happy I kept all my Switch games, now they have a new lease of life. Could be worse!

Xbox?
I always think of the Xbox as a mini PC anyway 
Problem with that sort of game is if you make the old one work too well, you cut into the market of people who you want to buy the replacement
True. I guess I'll certainly get the new one in that caseProblem with that sort of game is if you make the old one work too well, you cut into the market of people who you want to buy the replacement
.PS5, Series X, PS3, PS4, PS2, off the top of my head.
Yep, pretty much. Like Switch 2, there's a handful of games that don't work fully but most will just work.
It was something that I was definitely worried about with Nintendo but luckily they have brought BC to the table. It’s just expected now generally but Nintendo tend to buck those trends by doing their own thing. Happily my Switch digital purchases are safe for now at least.
No idea but my guess would be that you can sell it.
Series X is perhaps the best example, but PS5 runs almost all PS4 games with ease. And sticking with Nintendo, the Wii U played Wii games. So it's not a new thing to have back compat going from generation to generation. I stick with my original comment : love Nintendo, but they've dropped the ball a bit with back compat on Switch 2 .... for now.
If you don't use it then I'd imagine you can sell it on.
Should be able to sell it

Got a pre-order from Smyths. I'm excited for something new but really, Mario Kart is the only thing available on it for ages.
Any recommended screen protectors?

I got this. It's glass, it comes with a guide for alignment and you get 2 go at it. It is half the price of the Spigen.

I see they're up on the official Nintendo store at the moment just in case someone still hasn't managed to pre-order.
