Games

The rumor is that the price is going to be $450 for just the console and $500 for the console with Mario Kart bundled. May or may not be true, but it's certainly plausible given how expensive electronics have gotten since 2017. I was thinking of pre-ordering after the Apr. 2 Direct, but if that price is accurate I'll look into getting a Steam Deck instead. A lower price was the biggest advantage the original Switch had.

Well, it's a bigger, better Switch alright...

A little bit underwhelming hardware-wise. ~~Extra joycon L/R don't seem like they'll factor in much in most singleplayer docked or handheld settings.~~ (I guess those aren't new buttons.. .) The mouse thing (if that's what they're showing) is somewhat interesting and helps to keep touch controls relevant when docked. Top USB port, sure. Backwards compatibility is great news. Screen is...?

As always with Nintendo I think it comes down to the games. Mario Kart 9 hasn't blown me away just yet, but we've barely seen anything at all so...

To be continued in April, i guess.

I prefered colorful joycons, but I'm also glad that, there is audio jack port.

I really don't like the logo. I know why the logo looks that way considering the Wii U branding debacle, but still.

Why would the keep this right joystick sooooooo low! I can't play the switch.

The trailer was pretty cool and I liked the bigger screen. I can't wait to see more of what they will reveal.

And backwards compatible games? That's gonna be a money saver for sure!
