The hardware itself is pretty much perfect for a successor to Switch. The first-party games are better than the first year of Wii U, and possibly some Nintendo handhelds. The new content on Switch titles that now have Switch 2 Editions is pretty nice.
The software on the whole doesn't have the wow factor in terms of first-party games that Switch had. Admittedly some of those were Wii U ports and even Breath of the Wild was cross-gen. But Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey under 8 months apart and in the same calendar year was a massive move for Nintendo that will likely never be repeated.
I love Donkey Bananza, but it's no Super Mario Odyssey. DK is Top 100, maybe Top 50 games of all-time material. Odyssey is right around the top, and my second favorite game.
I'd be more into the third-party games if I didn't have a PS5. I didn't have a PlayStation when I got a Switch in 2017. Nintendo is a complimentary platform for me now, with PlayStation as a primary.
