TL;DR:
- Joy-Cons are more comfortable for adult hands, though still not as big as other systems.
- Mouse mode joy-cons are awkward. The buttons are small and there is no place to rest your other fingers and palm.
- You will want to have a table if you are playing mouse-oriented games like Metroid Prime 4 and Civ 7.
- Graphics seem better than the Steam Deck, worse than a PS4 Pro, but will improve as games are optimized.
- Mouse aim works well in Metroid.
- Mario Kart World is good and Knockout Tour is a fun addition to the game.

Is it the new "I'm gonna turn 360 degrees and walk away"?

The entire article has a tone of "it is exactly as we expected it to be". Good to have a journalist say that Nintendo was not covering up some horrible, obvious flaw.

The first Switch still seemed like a good purchase because you could own the physical cartridge of a game so it'll still be available long after its servers shut down. The Switch 2 just gives you a physical NFT with which to download the game with. Anyone who purchases this system will be very disappointed a few years later when it cuts off access to their library.

There’s only a subset of games that use the cartridge as an access token. Cyberpunk comes fully loaded on a 64gb cartridge, for example.

The license carts are worse than physical cartridges but better than buying digital. At least you can give them to a friend or sell them (while the software server is still active).

I’ll wait for a Digital Foundry analysis before I’ll believe this for a second. Did y’all see Elden Ring at the Direct?

Their preliminary thoughts are that the direct's footage for this title was probably processed incorrectly and may not represent the experience on actual hardware.

It’s called the Switch 2 because you take one look at it and switch to a Steam Deck
