A lot less excited about Nintendo Switch 2 than I thought

I genuinely wanted to be excited about Switch 2 (it was my most anticipated hardware announcement this year!), yet – if I'm being honest with myself – it just looks like a bad buy for me:

• I've barely touched my Switch OLED since I bought it. (A painful realization!)
• The Duskbloods, the console-exclusive, that initially looked like it would scratch my Bloodborne 2 itch – turns out it's a PvPvE game! No, thanks.
• Don't have any strong feelings or nostalgia for Donkey Kong, Mario Kart, or Kirby.
• Everything else, including Hollow Knight: Silksong, will be available on PC, it will look A LOT better there, and I already have Steam Deck OLED to play those games on the go (and with OLED!)
  • Hollow Knight with its art style in particular – I expect it to look much better on OLED compared to LCD.
  • Other than that, the third party games looked really poor. I know Switch isn't about high-end specs and cutting-edge graphics, but that's really not an excuse for releasing a game that looks like Pokemon Legends Z-A in 2025.
• Prices, both hardware and games, are high enough to give me pause.
• Speaking of prices, the fact they’re charging for their equivalent of Astro’s Playroom and Aperture Desk Job is such an own goal.

I expected something that would bring me back to the Switch — but last night's Nintendo Direct wasn't it.

All in all, whatever excitement I had about it initially is now fading. Maybe I was just hyped for an idea of a shiny new thing. Once I set emotions aside, Switch 2 doesn't look like a device for me.
