Even if/when Switch 2 emulation is possible, there's not a chance in hell it could run on Deck hardware.

Both systems have pros and cons. This article isn't bashing on the Steam Deck at all, just making the case for what the Switch 2 has going for it.
They say up front that this article is a response to the frankly obnoxious amount of "my gaming platform can beat up your gaming platform" circlejerking that has been going around - which you're kinda perpetuating.
The Deck does not "obliterate" the Switch 2, and a headline like that makes you part of the problem.
I pre-preordered from Nintendo but haven't gotten my email yet.
I don't think any of these games are 'gold mines', and some of your examples are just games they did release but just not the way you wanted them to.
I could rattle off my own wishlist of classic favorite IPs that I wish would come back, but the thing about dead IPs is that they died because they weren't making tons and tons of money.
"Ultra" versions of Street Fighter Alpha and Darkstalkers
Alpha 3 Upper is getting a rerelease on the upcoming Capcom Fighting Collection 2, and every version of Darkstalkers was included in Collection 1.
Ever since Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix flopped within the FGC, the idea of messing with classics has been regarded as anathema. USF2 was completely ignored as just HDR-but-worse.
They can't renege on deals they've already signed with retailers.
JP Switches will only play Japanese-language games. So for non-Japanese-speaking consumers, that will be a problem.
I can get paid to do this? Where do I sign up?
They've never promised that, because that would be an absurd promise to make. This is no different from Valve dropping support for older versions of Windows, which they have also done.
This account is Mbin rather than Lemmy, and I've got another account on a Pleroma server for my microblogging. Thinking of trying Piefed, some of its features sound promising and it looks like development is going pretty rapidly, I may end up switching off Mbin.
Of course there's going to be one eventually, but if they're implying it's coming very soon that actually raises questions. Donkey Kong Bananza looks to have been developed by the team that did Odyssey, so if a 3D Mario was being developed in parallel, I'm curious who was on that project.
I think we should reelect Francis.
Mbin and Piefed both have this.
