The bad:

• No Animal Crossing announcements AFAICT

I don’t think a “Nintendo Switch 2 Edition” would convince me to spend $450 on one, but if it added a boatload more content, like what they did with Mario Wonder… I’d at least think about it. (I mean, I just got the Switch OLED last October, so it was never gonna be an easy sell.)

(Also worth noting that Animal Crossing is not hard coded to the Switch 1’s specs. Apparently on good computers, people have gotten it up to 8K, which is wild to me. But, that being said, the game does get benefits of running on Switch 2. Notably, if you go to a Treasure Island or if you happen to have an island that is equally dense with decorations, you don’t see pop-in and you don’t get frame drops. I think they showed it running at a stable 60FPS even on one of those show-off islands with something going on literally everywhere. And of course load screens are reduced since those are also not hard-coded and are tied to system performance.)
