So far about my only complaints are the whole key card thing, and the console UI/OS being a bit simplistic. (It's fast and it works, but stylistically is it quite plain)

Other than that I'm quite happy with it so far, it's pretty much what I wanted; the same convenience as the Switch 1 but better performance.

Now to see if it can measure up to the Switch in terms of games.

That's gonna be weird for at least for the foreseeable future considering I've decided to buy some Switch 1 games instead of their "physical" key-card  counterpart on Switch 2. But I intend to play them on Switch 2 nonetheless. 

So far, as much as I remember liking some big highlights in the first Switch year. It's feeling like the Switch 2 already has a more rounded schedule with more highlights in it's slower months than the Switch 1 had. Especially this summer. 

Also if we're about to get a Direct soonish, this could clear some interrogation for the end portion of the year and maybe early next year(not expecting that though)

Yeah Switch 2 has vastly better third party support in its first year than Switch 1, though first party wise we don't yet know anything passed it's first 7 months.

Still Mario Kart World, DK Bananza, Metroid Prime 4, Pokémon Legends Z-A, Kirby Air Riders, and Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment is a strong start. Hopefully the first half of 2026 continues the trend.
