  The switch 2 is bad for multiple reasons:

  • Joycon drift
  • Joycons have terrible ergonomics
  • The design is meh
  • No backwards compatibility for games
  • The battery is terrible
  • Nintendo exclusives/small library
  • No innovation of any kind

  There’s nothing to make it stand out other than exclusive game titles.
