Feel like it's worth making this post, especially in light of the last Switch 1 Presentation only a while ago.

Personal Thoughts:
Really, it does just seem to be an attempted linear upgrade of the switch. I had a suspicion a while ago it might be hard to top the Switch era in some respects, so this seems to be more just a matter of new hardware... though for a lot of hardcore gamers (and people of scored), that probably won't do much for them.
I feel like Nintendo at least seems to be subconsciously trying to do a convergent evolution with PCs to some degree, at least with the new mouse controls. I've heard similar things about the next Xbox effectively being a PC, so if they are smart they might try this too.
Raidou Remastered and the New Professor Layton are the only new games that stick out at me right now, and those were announced before this point.
The New Donkey Kong and The Duskbloods seem to be the only real things that might grab major attention.
I hope the freeze in the middle of the stream isn't an ill omen of things to come.
Otherwise, not much of note here, at least to my eyes. Maybe they will pick up from this period of little note once the Nintendo Switch 2's successor arrives next decade, but for now it seems rather quiet.
EDIT: I did just see on that they have seemingly joined the 80$ for a game bandwagon with Mario Kart World Tour. Let's hope this isn't a sign of a worrying trend to come... though fate doesn't seem so kind these days.
With taxes $712 CAD for the console : no game, no MicroSD Express ( so you can't use your regular MicroSD cards ), so I assume the games will cost $100 - $140
The ''Upgrade'' for Switch1 games on the S2 are not free. You have to pay in get the improved FPS and functionalities that should have been in the S1 version anyway ( aside from hardware limitation ).
So are people going to pay ~CAD$800 for the cost of entry with one game?
I hope not. May this flop as hard as the Nintendo 3DS launch price release. ( which they then cut down by 32% )
