The Nintendo Switch 2 reveal trailer just dropped today; what do you think about it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itpcsQQvgAQ

Just made a Front Page discussion! :)

I'm not that psyched about it.  It's a Switch Pro, which should have been dropped with this Switch line.  I'm waiting for the gimmick and the software.  Yeah, I'm sure I'll get it because it's my, most likely, last change at physical media but... it's just a Switch.  I'll have to see what bells and whistles, if any, and the software showcased on April 2nd.

Not much interest in the system, huh?

I suppose

If you look at all the leaked specs, it does appear this will be a pretty substantial leap in terms of power and capabilities. Yes, it's ultimately just going to be a newer, more powerful Switch at the end of the day. But the gulf is pretty wide between what the existing Switch can do and what this new model will be capable of. It's definitely more than just a "Switch Pro" in terms of the hardware upgrade. I'm stoked for it, myself. I was a day one adopter of the original, and as many hundreds of hours as I've put into both of my Switch consoles, I assume I'll have a similar amount of time into the new iteration.

Trailers always make things look better than they are.

I was going to hold off, but every summer we have about 5-6 tournament nights in the neighborhood for Mario Kart 8, so I walked in to Target on launch day and easily was able to pick up the base system. $80 for MKW smarted but I would have wanted the physical copy as it is. To be sure I'm having an incredible amount of fun with it, so while the price made me a little nauseous, I think I'm still going to get play value for it tenfold. Also picked up Puyo Puyo/Tetris but haven't played it yet.

Anyone else here get one?

Not I.

I wasn't able to get in a pre-order, and none were available in my area for very long after launch, but I'm hoping to find one this weekend.
