I really don't like the logo. I know why the logo looks that way considering the Wii U branding debacle, but still.

Can't wait to play tears of the kingdom at 30 fps
Lol. I did put my money on "barely distinguishable from the Switch 1, maybe bigger". I guess I win the betting pool.
I'm mainly happy because I didn't want to be tempted to support Nintendo's lawsuit happy asses, anyway.
If they ever release a Virtual Boy Mini, my conscience will never recover from my own hypocrisy, though.
I'm an og Nintendo hype veteran from the days of N64. This is the first where I ignored all the rumors. I am not impressed also not disappointed.
It's kind of wild seeing Nintendo just make an upgraded version of the previous console. Even the Wii U was fairly transformative, even if not great.
This, from the perspective of someone who isn't huge on Nintendo, kinda feels more like a "Switch Pro" kind of thing, no?
The rumor is that the price is going to be $450 for just the console and $500 for the console with Mario Kart bundled. May or may not be true, but it's certainly plausible given how expensive electronics have gotten since 2017. I was thinking of pre-ordering after the Apr. 2 Direct, but if that price is accurate I'll look into getting a Steam Deck instead. A lower price was the biggest advantage the original Switch had.
Will this still play switch 1 games? (Physical cartridges)
Yes
From TFA:
The Switch 2 will have backward compatibility with games from the original Switch (with some unspecified exceptions).
I hope this hardware will stand a chance playing no man's sky. After the freighters were introduced the switch just couldn't handle it
The joycon sliding on the table, is that a mouse-mode? @1:11 in the reveal trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itpcsQQvgAQ
The trailer was pretty cool and I liked the bigger screen. I can't wait to see more of what they will reveal.
And backwards compatible games? That's gonna be a money saver for sure!
Let's go! I'm excited for hardware that will run Pokemon Violet/Scarlet at a non-dog shit framerate (other than pirating).
Why would the keep this right joystick sooooooo low! I can't play the switch.
