Hugely disappointing.

No Mario or Zelda announcements. The only games of note were Mario Kart (which looks oddly boring) and Donkey Kong. The From game will be interesting, but looked like something from 2010.

Performance in the third party titles looked abject. Really aggressive FSR and washed out images.

It was a rubbish presentation the created zero hype.

Kirby Air Riders motherfuckers!

I don't care that c button is just bog standard chat, that the camera is stupidly not integrated, and that the colour options for the console are boring.

Kirby fucking Air Riders!

So their only launch game is Mario Kart followed up by DK a month later, and we don't even have a price?

Everything about Switch 2 has been a little bit weird.

Welp. Atrocious hardware that looks around 1/3 as capable as a PS4, with an exclusive Miyazaki-directed Bloodborne 2. Paid upgrades for barely noticeable resolution/framerate bump on Switch 1 games. A fun looking Mario Kart game. Gamecube emulation. Donkey Kong Cobalt Mining Simulator.
Yeah pretty underwhelming. Mario Kart looked nice that was about it.

Also fucking knew they would charge for upgrades.

Well at least we can finally settle the debate of whether Wii U would have done better being called the Wii 2
I don't get it, why add shit nobody asked for, for games that look awful. That "soccer" game looked like shite.

I have no idea why there's some push for hardware innovation in Nintendo that adds more features, where their core concepts are what sell.

I think this is going to be a 3DS type of success at best. Right now, doesn't feel like anything is cooked right.

I'm in day one. I didn't buy the OLED Switch so this will be my first Nintendo console in a long time. But Metroid Prime 4 not being a launch title does take some of the luster out of it for me, I was expecting/hoping that. The only thing on launch that interests me is Mario Kart so far and I don't even like Mario Kart, but this one interests me because of the open world. Still, I think it's a cool console, though it didn't blow my mind. Then again, I didn't expect it to.
