Even stuff like the Steam Deck can play emulated Switch games, and that’s an x86 PC, a machine with a more similar architecture should absolutely have no problem with it.
Doesn’t mean I’m banking on backwards compatibility though.
With emulation, there will likely be cases where specific games don’t work properly. There are way too many games for a small indie company like Nintendo to test them. You’ll just have to buy them all again at full price on the new console.
