Not too surprising they didn’t change much. The switch was a huge hit so fixing things like the joycons, adding a stand, etc. was the way to go.
My guess (hope) is that the only new titles exclusive to the switch 2 are ones that the original switch wouldn’t have the processor strength to play and that they won’t arbitrarily wall them but we’ll see.
The Nintendo switch came out in early 2017, and it really wasn’t all that powerful then. It’s 8 years later, and it really shows. I don’t think they should make new games for the Switch. If developers have to consider the original Switch, the games will suffer. It had a good run, and a good library. But it’s time for the original switch to retire.
Precisely this. Consideration for the original Switch is exactly how the Series S is causing problems for games on the Series X and PS5. Yes, a cheaper entry is great for gamers who can’t afford but dragging the potential down is a recipe for hamstringing the newer hardware.
Unfortunately games have been struggling on the Switch’s hardware for a couple years. There were a few parts of the newest Pokémon game that felt like a slideshow presentation.
Oh I don’t want them to hold back new games performance just for the OG switch, that was pretty underpowered even when it came out. I’m hoping the switch 2 gets a good upgrade in the area since it’s needed.
More for indie games and things like that was what I was thinking.

Is that still scarlet and violet? Because if so, I don’t think that was a problem with the switch.

That would be nice! Hopefully I would be easy for devs to do both.
