MobaPad is a Switch controller and game case maker (that I have never heard of), so they should have reliable info. They said that:

The Switch 2 will have physical cartridges and the slot will also be able to accept Switch 1 games.
There will be a new button on the back of each Joy-Con, behind the triggers.
There will be a new button on the right Joy-Con, by the Home button.

Switch had the worst kind of “emulation” where nearly all the best games for Wii U were re-released for Switch at a higher price.
