They can't really break compatibility though. Because the keys are baked into the hardware and the rest of the hardware is, well, hard. Unless you're talking about Switch 2, which would of course work for Switch 2 games.

I just assumed they would blacklist the publicly available encryption keys and/or push an update that adds another security layer and has to be installed for new games to play. But I'm not super familiar with nintendo emulation so this may not be plausible.
