Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they didn't do an Xbox and call it something confusing, but I was hoping this console could have it's own identity.

I'm happy for a more powerful Switch, it sounds neat. Still, I kinda was hoping for something more... Nintendo weird.

~~Okay maybe I'm just mad because I was hoping after the Nintendo Switch that we'd be getting a Nintendo Dom and a Nintendo Sub~~

Not sure what to think of the magnetic lock on the controllers. That side port they plug into looks way more fragile than however the fuck the rails worked.

Hopefully the little nub that actually connects is rubber, otherwise yeah it'll break off the first time you drop the switch 2 with the joycons connected.

The rails were brutal tho, I'm sure this will be an improvement

if Nintendo changes how their controllers are attached it is most certainly because they figured out a way to make the connection MORE secure, not less

From what I understand, magnets will last longer than any other part of the console. It might be a good choice.
