I bought a game on switch for like 40 bucks that ended up being really bad, and tried to get it refunded within about two hours of purchase, after about thirty minutes of play time. Couldn't get the refund.
Ever since, I was VERY slow to buy anything, because, what if it's unexpectedly bad? I have to know I mean it, otherwise I shouldn't buy it. I want to buy a game, not flush money down the toilet.
So, now I kind of just don't want a Switch 2.
Well, it's a bigger, better Switch alright...
A little bit underwhelming hardware-wise. ~~Extra joycon L/R don't seem like they'll factor in much in most singleplayer docked or handheld settings.~~ (I guess those aren't new buttons.. .) The mouse thing (if that's what they're showing) is somewhat interesting and helps to keep touch controls relevant when docked. Top USB port, sure. Backwards compatibility is great news. Screen is...?
As always with Nintendo I think it comes down to the games. Mario Kart 9 hasn't blown me away just yet, but we've barely seen anything at all so...
To be continued in April, i guess.
Which mouse thing? they seem to be exactly all the same inputs the Switch 1 already had.
Looks starkly.... Non-Nintendo-y?
I dunno, changing from the full colored joycons to black with accents and more rounded corners caught me off guard. This looks like a handheld from GPD or ONEXPLAYER
True theseloook rather serious. That said their customer base is also far wider than children these days.
Everything has to look so serious these days.
The colourful Joy Cons were part of the Switch’s identity, sad to see it reduced to an accent they seem almost ashamed of.
I'm guessing the all grey model probably sold better than the one with colorful joycons so they lead with that this time.
I'm sure that they'll have a billion models with more color
This blog post is worthless. A direct link to the official video announcement would be better.
It had worth to me, as someone who was stuck in a place where it was unacceptable to watch a video but was acceptable instead to read a summary quietly.
