I was thinking Switch 2 would be to the Switch what the WiiU was to the Wii: graphical upgrade while maintaining the similar form factor and play style.
I know it is hard to believe. But the gamecube, Wii, and wiiu are the same machine. Same architecture and family of processors (IBM’s PowerPC). That’s why the wiiu is just a Wii with a beefier CPU (three Wii cores slapped together), and then a newer more powerful GPU sticked to the side. Thats why a single emulator can target all three consoles. The switch 2 will just be a newer version of the Tegra chip.

Dolphin doesn’t emulate the Wii U and never will. The devs have explained several times that the Wii U is too different.
True that, the tri-core PowerPC is quite a unique challenging mess. But underneath it is just the same processor.
Well TIL. Thanks!
