I wonder if you can just sign in to your Nintendo account and play all your digital Switch games. I wouldn't mind buying a Switch 2, selling my current Switch and Lite, if I can still play MK8 Deluxe, MP10 and superstars, Zelda etc.
I think that if we don’t recover our games in digital format, it will make Nintendo sink. As much as the Wii U was a flop, it is normal that they did not integrate this kind of system (in addition they needed a screen controller), but for the future « switch » they better put it on because they have no excuse! My only fear remains the fact that Nintendo is still doing a wave of remakes because the switch is literally the console of remakes!!!
That won't sink Nintendo. It will only increase their revenue.
People will rebuy the old game again. Some people will refuse to buy the old game. But no sale would be lost. In fact people will be less likely to sell their old consoles, reducing the supply of consoles which will increase demand on the new console.
People always make the assumption that a business will lose by making customers pay for things. It rarely is the case. Netflix banned account sharing, Reddit and Lemmy were full of people claiming this will hurt netflix. Not realising netflix only punished those that don't give them more money. The people that suffered that ban weren't buying netflix. The ban increased netflix profit, they also gained more paying customers.
