@IronMan30 It's more the games than the console itself. Switch has a lot of great games but the console is so bare bones. No themes, achievements, party system/voice chat, no text messaging system, and the friends system being pretty much useless. Add joycon drift, a poorly designed pro controller, and weak hardware that can barely run third party games. I'm not going to sit here and act like the switch was an amazing console, but I will say it was a console with a lot of great games.
I feel like it will be pretty much the same with the switch 2. An underwhelming console with a lot of great (but expensive) games.
@KevinP Yeah I'm not sure how people can sit there giving it 9's and 10's. It really was overall disappointing. This is why gaming will keep continuing down this unfortunate path.
A 4. Pretty underwhelming, with typical remasters and paid upgrades. No achievement/trophy system, having to pay for a digital tech demo, and more phone app nonsense. I have zero interest in using a camera to stream myself. I also didn't see anything about a simple text messaging feature.
Mario Kart World looked fun, and that Bloodborne looking game looked solid, but if that's going to be on PS5 eventually, I would just get that version instead.
The mouse I doubt I would use, unless they came out with some awesome Mario Paint game, but really that should have been a launch title.
So at the moment, looks like I'm not interested in buying it, but time will tell if I change my mind.

@nomither6 Wow, look in the mirror bud. Definitely seems like you are being the edgy one here. Calling someone else edgy while being edgy yourself makes you a hypocrite.
I sincerely hope that you are not an adult, for your own sake. Your comment was extremely sad on many levels.
@RodSD64 You can play with randoms if you put in certain passwords. I found that 1 or 11111 seems to find some games. Just expect lag and many communication errors.

Now they just need to improve the terrible online and maybe I'll be able to play it properly.
