Summary

After replacing his original Switch with a Switch Lite, he must re-unlock nearly 50 characters; only eight are initially available. Online matches expose repeated losses and frustration with Mario, Donkey Kong, zoomed-out multiplayer, juggle-heavy knockouts, floaty physics, and unclear controls. He calls the £45–£50 purchase wasted, contrasts Smash’s irritation with Rainbow Six’s fairness, and plans deletion after filming.

Insight

A familiar pattern: content experiments end quickly when play feels frustrating rather than rewarding.
