My Thoughts On the Switch 2
328It's no secret I've been disappointed by the Nintendo Switch. In 2022, I made a huge video expressing why, genuinely unsure if anyone would resonate with my feelings, and to my utmost surprise those ideas landed with a larger audience then I ever could have imagined. So now, in 2025 with the dawn of a new console rapidly approaching, what do I think of the Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo's next step forward into a primarily iterative generation? This video seeks to revisit some of those old thoughts with a refreshed perspective while expressing my new concerns and excitement for Nintendo's future.

9:50 The Value of Iteration
