This is really interesting, a little dissapointed still but I'm excited for new buttons and a sturdier system. No eGPU is a blunder #blunderscores

eh, they wanna make it the exact same experience on handheld mode and TV mode. and mobile gaming hardware has gotten great, see: Steam Deck & ROG Ally X. however this company's name we are talking about starts with "Ninten" and ends with "do" so performance is absolutely not on their minds, unfortunately. it really should be, the Switch is, what, 8 years old?? imo it hasn't aged well in performance at all, like look at the PS4.

also egpu's are dead, lawl soz

my top wishes for Switch 2:

1. StreetPass (BRING IT THE FUCK BACK.)
2. Rewritten eShop (It's terrible on Switch 1)
3. New OS Design (Switch 1's is sooooo fucking boring. Get some gradients and some background images up in here, Bring back Wara Wara Plaza, SOMETHING.)
4. (Kinda a Prediction but:) The new "C" Button is gonna be a Neutured version of Miiverse, which could be dope.
5. Bring back the marketing involving the Miis, sure that's "soooo Wii era" but it's so cute.
6. New 3D Mario Game (Super Mario Odyssey-like)
7. $350 Price Tag. (If its $400 one tear will fall out me eye.)
8. June 2nd, 2025 Release Date ()
9. Midnight release at my Local Best Buy (okay I know this isn't a Nintendo-managed thing, but still I think it would be fun as fuck)
10. TOMODACHI LIFE 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, that's all. Also there is the last direct for the Switch 1 tomorrow morning.

5. Bring back the marketing involving the Miis, sure that's "soooo Wii era" but it's so cute.

Wait... this might be happening. Hear me out, new Tomodachi Life game AND the marketing for the new "Virtual Game Card" feature (will have thoughts on this feature later when I have more time to think about it) bring back the Mii's!!!!! Big things are happening in the Mii space.

So excited for new Tomodachi...... also new Rhythm Heaven??? I've just been getting started with RH (downloaded the first one on my DS last week) but this looks promising, since it's been a long while since the last one I've gathered
