The JoyCon mouse theory is looking pretty solid now

Honestly, I'm a little concerned. Nintendo almost always tries something new and innovative. This just looks like a hardware upgrade, which is good, but not what keeps them ahead of their competitors. The Steam Deck is already encroaching on the Switch's territory, and it's only a matter of time before Playstation and Xbox try something similar (assuming Microsoft doesn't just give up on consoles and just make PCs). I was expecting something no one else would try, like a duel-screen that could function like a Wii U and a DS.

Doesn't look like it

Bigger screen and new ports? Awesome!

Still looks like Switch 1.5, not 2...but I'll wait until I see hardware specs and games

I like the design a bit more, but it's nothing new, rather an upgrade to the switch. That's fine for me. As long as tge switch 2 is a bit more durable i would be happy. Let's see if that will be the case.

Yeah, it's exactly what I wanted. Won't mind if there are any added features, but I am happy with a "powerful" switch.

Man, the lackadaisical reveal. Hilarious.

Also, the Youtube video is called "Switch 2 First Look". I see what you did there, Nintendo.

The only reason everyone is whelmed is because of all the leaks.

Had no one known anything, we'd be talking about the bigger size, new joycons and such.

Since there are no surprises we are just confirming what we already know.
