Hopefully this means backwards compatibility on digitally purchased titles. Would be silly if they still didn't have this figured out.

you say that, but it's nintendo, so...

Heh, maybe they'll do a "console as a service" thing. Everything is more and more just digital goods and nobody eg. owns games anymore it's all just "you have a license to play this game", so why bother selling hardware at all?

If that's the case it'll be the first nintendo platform I don't buy since the original NES. I still buy physical cartridges and if that's no longer an option I guess I'm just a retro gamer playing emulated systems.

Same. There is something about holding onto a physical copy that digital will never replace. You could also let friends borrow them and resell them.

According to Nintendo, this is already the case with games you play.

Yep, them and almost everyone else except GOG (I think?)
