Nintendo Switch 2: Why I’m Cautiously Optimistic (Even After Being Burned)

I’ve been a Nintendo fan for years — I was there Day 1 for the original Switch. But after a while, I drifted to PC, PlayStation, and Steam Deck for most of my gaming. Better performance, better third-party support, and yeah… less drift.

So when Nintendo finally revealed the Switch 2, I had mixed feelings. It looks powerful. The game lineup is strong. But the prices? The battery life? The paid upgrades for existing titles? It’s giving “Nintendo tax” in 4K.

In my latest video, I break down everything you need to know about the Nintendo Switch 2:

• Full specs & new features

• $90 Mario Kart World?!

• Lower battery life than the OG Switch

• GameChat & microSD limitations

• Paid upgrade path for old games

• My thoughts as a handheld-first gamer coming back cautiously
