I'm personally pretty bummed by this news. This isn't $450(+tax) worth of console, IMO. They went backwards in some areas (no OLED screen??) and simply refused to make much-needed improvements in others (no Hall effect sticks??).

I was really hoping the Switch 2 would go the way of the 3DS, with a disappointing launch that caused Nintendo to bring the price back down to Earth.

I simply don't understand why people want to spend $500+ to play Mario Kart. At this point, I've just gotta accept the fact that it's not a ~~consult~~ console - or a brand - for me.

EDIT: "consult" to "console"; keeping it as strikethrough to preserve the joke/accurate point in the reply.
