No. I have OG-Nintendo Syndrome, which is the condition of having lived through a time where each new Nintendo console either provided such a drastic graphical leap as to render my mind blown, or to have experienced true blue-ocean gaming like motion controls and the game pad. I remember when buying a new Nintendo console meant change so drastic that you literally could not play their new machine and have it not feel wholly fresh, wholly new.

The Switch 2 is, imo, a Switch Pro re-branded... which is great for those that wanted that. But I didn't want that. I expected Nintendo to do what they've always done, which was to provide me with something that felt completely new.

Hopefully they do that next round, because if they release Switch 3 and it's exactly the same thing again... sigh.

I don't align with this post--I'm good with the refinement of a winning formula--but I can certainly respect it, especially when I remember a LOT of people saying that the main thing they liked about Nintendo was that it changed into something new every generation.

Kudos for sticking to your beliefs when others are clearly fine with whatever they're given and will switch answers accordingly.

Also, sorry, but probably the only way you're going to get something other than a Switch 3 is if Switch 2 trails off badly, so ... yeah.

People can enjoy both iterative successors and new innovations, you don't have to choose either one or the other.

Systems like the SNES or Switch 2 are great. So are systems like the Wii and Switch 1. It's not "switching answers accordingly" to like more than one thing.
