It would really be surprising if it wasn't backwards compatible. The Switch breaking backwards compatibility was exceptional, apart from that every Nintendo console since the Wii on the stationary side and the GameBoy Color on the handheld side had at least one generation of backwards compatibility.

"Every console since the wii" and "except the switch" is two consoles. The other 4/6 were not backwards compatible.

The DS and 3DS were.

A lot of people call those handhelds to distinguish between them and traditional consoles which attach to a TV.
