Video Game Bored / Re: Nintendo Anounces Switch 2

Its basically a Switch Pro, which is what we wanted....in 2021. And the game lineup is Mario Kart and...nothing else?
Wasn't planning to buy one at launch and was going to wait however long to pick one up, but was on vacation during the launch, walked into a store and found and plenty available, so picked it up. It's not like the price is going to drop anyway.
The launch line-up is lackluster for sure, but it doesn't matter. Shitty console launches are kinda typical. I got Mario Kart, Fast Fusion, Street Fighter 6, and Cyberpunk. The latter two are fantastic ports overall. Mario Kart is awesome. Fast is cool.
But the best thing? Switch 1 games run better. Depending on the game you can get better framerates, faster load times, and/or higher resolutions. Pretty much any Switch game that has an uncapped frame rate and/or dynamic resolution is going to benefit the most. Some titles like Bayonetta 3 and Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity feel like new games because of how much smoother they are and how much better they play because of it.
I'm pretty happy with the system overall. The screen could be better - there's noticeable ghosting on some titles, but it's not enough to be a bother- and I'm not the biggest fan of the joy-cons once again, but the latter will be resolved when third party joy-cons come out and I can play with a controller anyway. Mario Kart being priced at $80 is still a bunch of bullshit but whatever. LOL if they release dlc and charge more for it.
