"This is Furukawa, president of Nintendo," Furukawa wrote. "We will make an announcement about the successor to Nintendo Switch within this fiscal year. It will have been over nine years since we announced the existence of Nintendo Switch back in March 2015.
"We will be holding a Nintendo Direct this June regarding the Nintendo Switch software lineup for the latter half of 2024, but please be aware that there will be no mention of the Nintendo Switch successor during that presentation."

You're not going to be able to and the sneed from the emulation community is going to be beautiful drama.
The Switch was in a uniquely bad position to get emulated easily.
1. Off the shelf Tegra X1 from 2015 (absurdly well documented from being in the Shield TV and Pixel C tablet.) Launch units had an unpatchable hardware exploit that was only fixed with a respin/die shrink of the X1.
2. The Switch uses a weird extension of the 3DS OS kernel, and that system had been cracked wide open for years.
Those really aren't going to be the case with the Switch 2. It seems like it'll be A78 cores and an ADA derived GPU. The A78 has roughly comparable IPC to Zen 2 in the other vidya systems.
It'll be harder to emulate this system due to a lack of documentation and dramatically increased system requirements. I doubt you'll see an emulator during the lifespan of the console.

The fact that so many consoles have been hacked because of an exploit in a shitty shovelware game fills me with joy
