I just didn't find it all that exciting and somewhat predictable/expected.

Since the original Octopath it's not surprising more HD2D by Square would eventually come, but I suppose any big fan would've enjoyed the announcement, FF Tactics was already announced on other platforms so this isn't a surprise, and another MH...there's always another MH. And then majority of the other games shown was just Nintendo catching-up with 3rd party games like they have been recently.

If you enjoyed it then that's great at least and their line up this Showcase has worked.  Personally, nothing shown today has made me want to pick up the Switch 2.  I'll stick with my Switch and work on my backlogs in the meantime.

Fair enough. What would've made you excited if I may ask?

Ideally some 3rd party exclusives that could push the Switch 2 hardware.  But also something that I would have not expected but has players been wanting.

Since this is a Partner showcase, a remake or HD2D of Chrono Trigger and/or FF6 would be more enticing and unexpected than another Octopath. FF9 remake would be a winner for sure. I know Capcom supports Nintendo well with MH but what would really win me is Resident Evil Outbreak, remake or even a new one but this spin-off series is stuck on PS2 sadly; and since the Duskbloods being a multiplayer game maybe Nintendo should look to up their online presences. New Megaman X/Zero would be a nice touch. Since Konami remaking MGS3, how about remaking MGS Twin Snake that was on GC, or bringing back the original Metal Gear 1 & 2 as some sort of remake/2DHD. Not MGS1 & 2, though I wouldn't be surprised if those are already in the works.
