MobaPad is a Switch controller and game case maker (that I have never heard of), so they should have reliable info. They said that:

  • The Switch 2 will have physical cartridges and the slot will also be able to accept Switch 1 games.
  • There will be a new button on the back of each Joy-Con, behind the triggers.
  • There will be a new button on the right Joy-Con, by the Home button.

That's interesting info.

Though if they are officially licensed accessory maker, after releasing this info, I doubt they will remain one for long.

Unless Nintendo told them to “leak” it. Who knows these days.

All I want is analog triggers back so that we can get racing games with proper acceleration and braking.

I'll just be content with a fix to the drift issue and a bigger handle thing for whatever the new Joy Cons are called so my hands don't feel cramped playing with them. Adults play your consoles too, Nintendo.

I love my Switch Pro controller, more than most other ones, but this really frustrates me. I have to switch to a different one for practically any racing game

Just because the slot can read Switch games, does not mean that the console is 100% backwards compatible. It could be that only select games (those with compatibility patches) will work or maybe the console will be able to validate the cartridgeto allow you to get a discount on buying the remake from the digital store.

These are worst case scenarios, but don't go selling your Switch yet.

I'd only sell my switch to go to a switch 2 when the switch 2 is hackable.

That's a given; there's no way the switch 2 wouldn't play switch physical games
