Summary

He argues the $450 Switch 2 is overpriced: cheaper Steam Decks offer OLED and broader PC- game access, while Nintendo omitted OLED for future upselling. He finds it bulky and heavy, causing aching hands, oversized bezels, loose Joy-Cons, a fragile- feeling connector, and limited one-handed portability. He criticizes the sparse 2025 library, dominated by Mario Kart and older ports; touchscreen delay and 42% battery remaining also concern him.

Insight

His review continues prioritizing affordable, practical handheld gaming over Nintendo branding, novelty, or ecosystem exclusives.
