Don't you worry! Its just that they're busy suing a grandma and a three year old. Once both are properly in jail for saying "it's me Mario" in public, they'll be back making their oh so great video games. Give them more money so they can start more lawsuits.

It was the fact that they didn't show a new UI or added features to the base console. It's effectively only a Nintendo game player and nothing else where as previous consoles were also note taking apps and a calendar and you could doodle animations or even take photos on some of the DSs.

They added no other functionality to this console and left it with less than previous ones. It only plays the games and that's it.

At least a steam deck you can use a browser and watch videos on it too if you really wanted. The only reason to buy the switch is the games now which makes the price per game astronomical effectively.

Hey, that's not completely fair. They added a C-button that activates GameChat, so you can take up space on an already small screen to watch your friends stream their face or their game at 9 frames per second. Oh and also a microphone. Revolutionary stuff, really

Don't forget the mouse feature in the joycons!

Why didn't you get a Steam deck if you wanted one? I don't see how it's related to Switch 2. Those play different games.

Your comment should not have elicited as much laughter as it did.

Not true. The deck can emulate Switch games. 😌

Yeah, 45% tariffs on Japan and 32% on Taiwan is going to make pricing brutal in the US. I wouldn’t be surprised if $450 and $80 for Mario Cart effectively goes up.

Was there anything about the SoC it uses? What architecture is it?
