Switch 2 looks good. definitely better than the leak renders. but I think I prefer the original and this will also cement it as iconic. not much to be improved on. :)

will still get it for the quality of life updates alone (assuming the drift is fixed). but Switch 1 still has a game library that I will never finish.

@hbons given Nintendo only seems to have a YouTube video about it, do you have a link to something actually useful?

I’ll admit I’m not plugged into to Switch goings-on, but I’m still a little surprised.

It looks like it has a bigger screen, so it could be worth considering for me.

@MostlyBlindGamer I think that video is all there is for now.

@hbons I guess I can get a lot worse at writing release notes then. Hehehe.

I’ll make sure to check any news about this.

@hbons Good thing a Switch 2 can play Switch 1 games too! And hopefully better than a Switch 1 can.

(The hardware could play things better. Let's hope Nintendo doesn't prevent that, like restricting the CPU clock in some restricted backwards mode. Having more frames in Link's Awakening, Echoes of Wisdom, & more would be great.)

In the video, the joycons look much more rounded, possibly easier to hold. I hope that's the case. Handholding a Switch 1 is quite painful over a small amount of time.

@garrett definitely looks more ergonomic. bigger is better in this case and specially with detached joycons it could even not hurt with these?
