Switch to me is a mix of a few things. It feels to me like someone mixed the era of SNES and Saturn into one system. From the types of newer games, it gets (Octopath Traveler & Daemon X Machina) to the older game ports it gets(tons of old shmups and arcade games plus last-gen, PS2 era, and such). To some of the literal remakes from that era. (Trials of Mana and Panzer Dragoon). It's kinda everything I want in one system. I do like my PS4 a lot and have some of the same stuff but Switch is even more so plus portable.

The switch is also very fun to import games for. Saturn and PC Engine are the two best platforms to import games on since they are not the most popular systems so they are loaded with hidden gems. While Switch is very successful it's still loaded with hidden gems you can import. So for me, this system kinda has it all for me. I don't think a whole lot about the Nintendo IPs themselves but what few I do have interest in have been great.

I also feel like the Switch has a lot of Wii DNA in it too.

The split Joycons with motion controls kinda feel like a wireless Wiimote + Nunchuk. Both launched with an epic crossgen Zelda adventure. Stuff like Ring Fit Adventure and LABO mirror the kind of experimental blue ocean software Nintendo made during the Wii era. Both systems are built around combining new ways to play with easy-to-pick-up-and-play accessibility.
