I simply cannot be excited for the Switch 2 no matter how many new gimmicks or new games they show. Honestly, I can't be excited for new consoles at all anymore.

It used to be that every new console generation promised a new experience. That doesn't happen anymore and the fact that Nintendo's next console is simply called "Switch 2" feels like a reflection of that. I always felt that unique names for consoles brought excitement because it seemed like each new console brought a completely different vibe, even if it was from the same company.

And I don't see the point in shelling $200-$400 dollars for marginally better graphics. Graphical leaps don't happen anymore and we have already reached lifelike graphics with games like Unrecord anyway (portable devices still have a long way to go for games like that but still). The only benefit of having more processing power at that point would be for larger worlds and AI integration, and many people do not want the latter.

@icedquinn Maybe people would feel okay about it if they know for sure that the entire thing runs locally. AI upscalers have been around long before the whole AI craze and don't receive anywhere near the level of hate.
