I expected exactly what they gave which was a decent bump in specs somewhere better than the Steam Deck OLED but worse than a Rog Ally or X, focus on using AI upscaling for certain things, and an improvement on Switch 1 games. You should have had a reasonable understanding that visually they were not going to be a huge bump just from how the UMPCs had to deal with that in price vs. performance and this was just going to be another handheld form factor. A Rog Ally X-level jump for example would be a crazy expectation. What we got is pretty solid all things considered.

I just grabbed mine earlier today after putting money away for a decent while and primarily bought it for Switch 1 reasons and the Switch 2 stuff is a bonus. I never had an OLED so it was a straight upgrade in every regard, and having things like the kickstand, better Joycons, a better looking screen, and the better user experience feels worth it. I can't tell you how it felt like weights were lifted playing Pokemon Violet on a Switch 2. Literally every technical issue just disappeared. There's still minor drops but nothing like it was. Same deal with having benefits for basically my entire library. I was holding off on playing a lot of my S1 games simply because the performance on the S1 sucked so much and the S2 can bruteforce a lot of the performance issues away (Not MK8D, I just never got around to playing the DLC years ago and used it to stress test how I feel about the system).
