    I agree, but they will undoubtedly be able to do more with more capable hardware. I was also disappointed by the switch’s relative lack of gimmicks beyond its hybrid nature. I miss streetpass, Miiverse, etc. I hope they can get back to some of that on the next gen hardware.

      I’m kinda glad it’s devoid of gimmicks. A lot of them felt like it was just Nintendo was putting them in there for the sake of having gimmicks.

        I do really miss dual screen gaming though. The assymetrical stuff that the wii u did was A tier and its not been replicated anywhere without the need of a second independent device. Also Mass Effect 3 on the wii u was the best version because of the gamepad. It was great not only having a map at all times but also being able to issue commands without having to go into that wheel menu that slowed the game down.

      I also agree. I hope the really blow it out of the water with both power and bringing back some of that ol’ nintendo charm. Switch feels very lonely with how clinical it is.

        I mean they had Labo, but they kinda did it half heartedly, instead of creating actual accessories. Being made of cardboard was kind of a shame.

          I liked the idea, but it was expensive for what it was even if technically it was the right price for the parts cause it wasn’t just any old standard cardboard. I do think they should’ve kept going with it though

      A handheld that can play real 3D games was a hell of a selling point. It basically single handedly made the Steam Deck happen.

      They also have ring fit and labo.
