Yeah the switch’s capacitive touchscreen just doesn’t have the fine-tuning that the DS’s resistive touch screen did. There’s no stylus slot in the Switch 2, right?

There doesn’t seem to be, but now that you say that I desperately want one…

switch 2 portable with a stylus would be like where a separate stand was required for Kid Icarus Uprising. This time it’s built in!

Please play the DS one. They used the phone solo mix for the Switch version and it really just is not it. I feel like you lose out on the attachment to your partners because you don’t even get to play with them. They could just put the characters side by side. The switch screen is huge compared to the DS, but the sales for the titles never seem to justify the effort sadly.

Kid Icarus Uprising would also be perfect with mouse controls

The DS version of TWEWY also just has that chunky pixel beauty to it. It fits so well with the era the game takes place in and personally I felt like it helped sell the whole thing to be playing it on the older hardware.

I might, someday, if I can get a copy of it at a reasonable price, but it would be contingent on that
feel like i’m going insane this friday in january watching folks demanding a direct no-frills super switch successor these last four years, only for those same folks to hit back with the “that’s it?!” when they get a direct no-frills super switch successor

I’ve seen content creators who have posted multiple weekly videos about Switch 2 leaks and speculation, tracked shipments and patents, complain they were not surprised.

Hey the Game Boy Color was just the Game Boy with a few little adjustments and it’s one of my all time favorite platforms. I have no worries about the Switch 2.

FWIW, it’s basically what I want, and aside from jokes, I’m enthused and on board with the Switch 2.
It’s harder to represent quiet contentment in a rhetorically conspicuous fashion.
ETA: but let’s try

I think just like the “Nintendo future console guessing” industry resembles the “Apple future phone/laptop/computer guessing” industry, so too does the “Nintendo fans are low-key Nintendo haters” scene resemble the “Apple fans are low-key Apple haters” scene.
This also reminds me of the Sonic fandom thing of wanting a new Sonic game that’s somehow both identical to Sonics 1-3 but also completely new, except not like that.
It’s exhausting.

idk I cant speak for where others are coming from. But what used to make sense as a lite console for kids is now a little challenged by it looking for like a somewhat underpowered although perhaps a bit more affordable handheld pc (that plays nintendo exclusives). There are like a dozen options for that use case out there, just depends on how much those exclusives mean to you. If that’s a good buy for someone then god bless, just seems a little out of step

Come on @yeso you would never buy a Nintendo console even if it was in step or innovative 
All I can say about it being out of step or whatever is that consoles in general seem to be moving away from huge sweeping innovations and toward more incremental steps, so Switch 2 wasn’t especially shocking to me in any way.

I’m a simple-minded person, it’s just about the exclusives for me. I want to play the Nintendo games, so I always buy the Nintendo machine. I guess I could stop voting with my wallet for exclusivity, but then I’d have to pirate Nintendo games and I’m pretty sure I’d get air raided by their legal team the second my download queues.

Nintendo builds a platform for their games and people buy the platform to play Nintendo games. It’s a versatile platform, and it’s brain dead simple for users.
The reasons I’m hearing that the new Switch is redundant with handheld PCs around aren’t the same reasons that people buy a Switch.

in my mind it’s that nintendo’s own internally-developed games look and run bad on their own hardware

I agree that nintendo is still the easiest console experience but why does that need to be at the expense of it being comparably good?

I was typing but yeah the last 4 posts are basically it @yeso lol
Apple comparison is apt. It is gonna do what people brought it for and as good as they expect and there are apps you can only get on this particular platform.
And to the handheld PC point, if this thing gets priced a $399, that is a big deal. Steam OS has a small (non?)issue of not being able to run most games with anti cheat and Windows gobbles power as it isn’t optimized for the hardware yet.
I think the idea is longevity. They want these things to be around for as long as possible.
