To be honest, this gamer is totally gob smacked on the attitude that people have when it comes to new console releases.
Sure it was time for a change. But is it worth the hassle and aggravation?
I’m not the one to jump on the NCHW (New Console Hype Wagon), just for the sake of popularity. I pay attention to the ebb and flow of popularity.
I learned this lesson all to well when the SEGA Saturn was released in 1994. Like everyone else in the console video game space at the time, I jumped on the hype and pre-relase popularity.
But in the end, after it was all said and done, it was a total flop. The lesson that I learned is plain and simple.
Slow down and relax. Let others make the mistake. Let them make the mistake you’ve made.
But this time around, the hype was justified. The Switch 2 is one of those consoles that lives up to the hype. Where the games go from here is up to NINTENDO and the publishers. But take it easy, Let the hype train enter the station and then buy the system. I’m telling you, it’s worth the wait.
What I like, screen is almost as good as the oleds, games with patches play and look better (BoTW and ToTK, been playing echoes of wisdom) Mario kart is a blast. Can boost headphone volume to much louder levels after disabling the limiter.
What I don’t like. no USB c video out on xr glasses or portable monitors. virtual game cards are regressive. game key cards should register for a month or at least a few weeks. having to put one in every time for a downloaded game is dumb. battery life is ass.
hopefully more switch one games get patched to take advantage of the hw. looking forward to Metroid
