I like the hardware for the Switch 2 and think it is worth the price point. Not that I would ever use the C button and those features. The game screen sharing looked very choppy and super low res. If I ever play games with friends we use Discord for voice chat/screen sharing.
For me personally, there wasn't enough games for me to spend the money on a new console. Mario Kart World is the only game that would be a must own for me. Donkey Kong does have me somewhat interested, though I was hoping for a new 3D Mario on the scale of Odyssey. I bought the Switch 1 for Mario Odyssey and Pokemon, and Z-A is available on the Switch 1 (yes, I know it will run much worse on it than Switch 2). Any multiplatform game I would rather play on my PC or laptop if I am travelling.
So for now I will be skipping the Switch 2. A new 3D Mario, Diddy Kong Racing, or the next-gen Pokémon exclusive to Switch 2 would probably be enough for me to buy the Switch 2. Hopefully we get some good Switch 2 deals/bundles in the future.
