And also when Switch 2 has just nothing going for it.
Like, what am I supposed to get excited about? What's the system seller? What the hot game I'm supposed to lose my mind over?
I don't see it. I see a company which at one point in my life DOMINATED the video game space. Then, shot themselves in the foot several times, and willingly gave up their number 1 spot.
Then I watched them reinvent themselves. They became the quirky underdog with style and an asthetic that was colorful, and vibrant. When the PS2 was an industry juggernaut, it was a black box with a blue logo, and nothing more. Meanwhile gamecube was bright purple, the controller was multicolored, and the system had a handle. It was quirky.
And thats what they remained until this. The Switch 2. A black rectangle. No design. No personality. Forgetable games. And price increases across the board.
You know what I got instead? The Retroid Pocket Flip 2. The one made to look like it was gamecube inspired.
Do you think 20 years from now, novelty devices will be nostolgic for Switch 2's asthetic? I don't even know what that would be! At least switch 1 had the red and blue joycon look. Seriously, if you had to draw something Switch 2 inspired, how would you convey that???
