I would be unsurprised if the cartridge has the same form factor but has internal differences for Switch2-only games. If they want to try to lock Switch2 cartridges down more, there's plenty of ways to do that while maintaining a similar enough form factor for Switch1 compatibility.
- mattl 2y agoI suspect the cartridge will be similar but have a notch on it that prevents it being inserted into a Switch console. This is how Game Boy Color, DSi and 3DS systems handled being able to accept games from older models worked.
- mmaniac 2y agoNDS and 3DS cartridges had a similar form factor but operated by a completely different protocol. I expect Switch 2 to do something like that, given that piracy-enabling cartridge emulators for the Switch 1 currently exist.
