Wii U, Wii, 3DS, DS, GBA were all backwards compatible and Nintendo didn't do any cross-gen games for any of them. I could see them trying it here, yeah, but I don't think backwards compatibility would be the reason.

Yeah it would be for sales because the Switch is such a monster and Nintendo might want to keep milking that money. I guess I just figured it would be easier to justify if it's backwards compatible...but also that kind of doesn't make any sense now that I think about it! Like everyone with Switch 2 would buy the Switch 2 version. It would just be a money thing because the Switch has sold gangbusters.

At the very least, I can see them doing it for first party games for a little while. And if Prime 4 isn't at this Direct, I'd bet good money it's cross gen. Would be a perfect fit for more powerful hardware, since the Prime series was always such a graphical showpiece.

why would anyone want it to die when it means we get 60FPS on all the PS5 versions

Or 120 FPS for God of War: Ragnarok! Hopefully they'd continue the trend of performance and graphical modes and still hit 60...no one wants a 30 FPS performance mode (except me, I can hardly tell the difference usually).
