I actually think 12 gb is a bit too low.  Steam Deck is 16 gb.  Rog Ally X is 24 gb.  People point out GPUs that are 8 to 12 gb, but computers also have additional system ram (usually 16-32 gb).  The series S is often highlighted as being 10 gb, but comparative to the Switch 2, it has literally 2x the memory bandwidth, in a broad/generic/illustrative way the Series S versus Switch 2 is 20 gb versus 12 gb.  

I'm rambling a bit, but 12 gb is meh.  I am hoping the rumors are wrong and it is 16 gb.  

Series S only has 8 GB for games, Switch 2 will have at least 10 GB for games (2 GB for system) it will be enough for sure. 16 GB sounds way too optimistic.

vram runs on two different aspects.  Amount and bandwidth.  the series S is 224 gb/s, the switch 2 at max performance is 112 gb/s.  8 gb at 224 gb/s is substantially better at gaming than 10 gb at 112 gb/s.
