Everyone else "Yay they gave us exactly what we wanted, and a nice normal name too!" soypoint-2

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~~

My discords are split between zoomers who are extremely angry that the Switch 2 will not bring them back to playing Picto Chat in middle school, old farts who will wait until it goes on sale, and even older farts who are excited about it because they have kids who can play games on it.

I would've liked that too, but didn't expect it. One thing that snuck in though is that the new joycons can be used as mice. I bet Shiggy has something dumb planned with that.

I unironically think the mouse functionality will make this their most creative game library yet (if only because lots of games can safely include a creative mode with controls that don't suck)

but overall I think Nintendo is past making "weird" consoles since the launch of the first switch, the joycons have let them do the big weird stuff in individual games instead (LABO, Ring Fit) and now the joycons have even more functions. weird is coming even if the console seems standard
