Presumably Switch 2 will not be compatible with Labo and Ring Fit, since the main component of these games were only designed to fit the original Joy-Cons. Maybe a Ring Fit 2 will get released but Labo is on shakier ground.

Regarding Xenoblade X: Definitive Edition and Pokemon Legends: Z-A, not sure if they will get minor performance improvements on the Switch 2 compared to the Switch.

Squenix shouldn't have an excuse not to port the KH games properly this time. Apparently, the Switch 2 is supposed to be close to the Xbox Series S in terms of power, which sounds like a pretty good upgrade.

Z-A is definitely going to be on Switch 2 so that they can shake off the bad rep from SV's performance.

Yep. Just wondering which games aren't compatible tho. They mentioned that some aren't.
It most likely refers to games that required peripherals that could only work with the original Switch's joycons, such as Labo and Ring Fit Adventure. Also, since they're removing the IR sensor on the joycons any game that required that to work can't be used on the Switch 2.

I thought I saw the sensor right where it should be, at the bottom of the right Joy-Con.

Do you think we'll get any other SNES ports of Neo Geo games? Because I know that they have some exclusive features, such as being able to play as the four boss fighters in this game.

I don't see why they can't. Could even be a selling point, assuming they're not cross-gen.

I'm still deciding on whether I should hold onto my Nintendo stock or pull out.

No lie, I could probably use the money, but I do sense an upward trend in the near future, especially since Nintendo is sticking their own endeavors in the market.

This presentation in April better be damn good. I'm not trying to lose all my coins.

Well then an exclusive Switch 2 season pass. Either way, I think it's better to continue Ultimate than spend production costs porting older (and potentially obsolete) games.
Believe me, if they went with that strategy, we would've gotten an exclusive DLC pack for MK8 Deluxe instead of a new game.
Assuming they can still use the licenses for the third-party characters.
Especially Sora.
