Color me underwhelmed.

Nintendo is going to have to bring it in a big way to win me back after all the shit they've been pulling and it looks like they decided to do the exact opposite of that. At least it has a proper kickstand. I have no clue how they thought that flimsy plastic membrane from the first Switch was a good idea.

Looks like Nintendo quickly whipped out a video that shows only the things that leaked so far. Way more interested in the announced Nintendo Direct where we’ll see actual new stuff probably.

I expect the games that won't be supported would be the ones that use extra hardware, like Labo or Ring Fit, since the controllers are sized differently.

I am hopeful that older joycons will be able to connect, not that I have ever assembled my labo stuff.

The bigger size of the console itself would make it incompatible anyway

A larger console prevents a wireless controller from pairing?

I forgot that some of the labo goes onto the switch itself and not just the controller.

Okay cool now where's Fire Emblem: Three Houses - Definitive Edition? Is Alear confirmed for Smash 6? When are we getting Super Mario Maker 3?

My personal priority: when is the next Animal Crossing coming out?

Us zelda fans have been spoiled lately but I'll say it...when is the next zelda coming out?

[–] sugar_in_your_tea 1 points 2 days ago

Yup, I have all the Zelda games for Switch, and I'll probably buy a Switch 2 mostly for Zelda. If they port old games, I'll buy those too.

I think I have a problem...
