Am I the only one completely underwhelmed?
No, I'm the same. But I've been underwhelmed by most Switch 2 news. 🙁
Asides from the prices and the overuse of Game Key cards by 3rd party publishers there's nothing really negative on what they've announced.... but I'm also having a hard time naming something about it that really gets me hyped.
I'm kind of scratching my head. For years, people clamored for more Switch, just better/faster/etc. That's exactly what's being offered. I don't consider anything a must-buy at launch. Switch 1 didn't launch with much, either. But over the past 8 years it's been my primary gaming machine. I don't see staying the course as a bad thing.
I'm going to get one, though not right at launch. I skipped the Switch, and the backward compatibility sold me on the 2 because it means I can still play original Switch games, plus have access to anything interesting that comes out in the future. I also like that it's a little bit bigger.
If I already owned a Switch I would probably skip the 2, at least until there's a reasonable used market for them.
