TheNintendo Switch 2is the biggest console announcement in years, and it absolutely nailed the landing.
A whole batch ofnewly upgraded features?
A plan forSwitch 2 pre-orders?
A showcase of all theupcoming Switch 2 gamesheading to the console?
That alone got me hyped.
Well, to a certain extent.
Even the new Joy-Cons with mouse-like features could offer oodles of fun, especially in first-person shooters.
Well, there aremanygames here that I’ve already seen and played before.
Right, that’s one launch title, so how about the rest?
The recent (and fantastic)Split Fiction, which is already making the rounds.
Oh, and Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition, but that’s had its heyday, too.
I’m seeing a lot of Switch 2 ports and remasters here, but hardly anything new.
I mean, Cyberpunk 2077 on the go?
So, will I spend $449 to just play Mario Kart World once it launches?
A slight downgrade?
But it’s clear these will be stripped-down versions of their other console or PC counterparts.
But unlikely at the standard that many may be used to.
And that price gap counts.
That said, there is hope.
Plus, The Washington Post’s Gene Park thought it ran better than on Steam Deck.
Already, that’s off to a good start.
Playing them again while on the move?
Will a Switch 2 OLED be worth the wait?
If patterns repeat themselves, the same may happen with the Switch 2.
Not a whole lot more expensive, but enough.
But with inflation rising prices on, well, everything, that gap could be far more.
Of course, there’s no word of a Nitnendo Switch 2 OLED model coming anytime soon.
And for many others, I suspect.
