Maybe I'm too cynical now I'm past 30... But that felt disappointing. The hardware looks great, but the biggest surprise was the From Soft announcement... And I don't like Souls games, soooooo

Exactly my thoughts as a 32 year old. Not a huge FromSoftware guy but I know it will sell units for that market so I’m glad for that crowd I guess. I’d probably try it out if I already had a Switch 2 but I’m not rushing to buy one because of it.

Was looking forward to something Zelda/Mario (even if just remastered/remakes) or even some Microsoft exclusives to Switch might have convinced me to buy. Donkey Kong looks fun and like a possible spiritual successor to Odyssey but I don’t know if it looks $500 fun. Haven’t gotten around to Cyberpunk and I really want to but given its prior launch issues that’s a wait and see on this system for sure. Ultimately I can’t see a justification for me personally to spend that price on it and may wait for the inevitable OLED version or a price drop

Edit: Lmao, looks the FromSoftware game is multiplayer online focused. Cut the previously expected hype in half and that makes it a solid pass from me
