Nintendo demoed Switch 2 to developers at Gamescom
There's nothing preventing them from serving recompiled versions from the store though, right? As long as the behaviour is the same, they could have two different versions behind the scenes for the first party games (Mario, Zelda).

Not sure how that would handle physical games? The cart just acts as a key and the game is downloaded?

Probably yes. In case of modern Xbox backwards compatibility with 360 and original, it works more or less this way.

~~~That's entirely wrong. You can play the game straight out of the cartridge with no Internet connection. Of course, without patches.~~~
Edit: Sorry, I misread your comment. :|

Possibly. But also it's Nintendo, so the answer could be "you're going to buy the game again and you're going to like it".
