Thanks for the heads up - my gamepad is still normal amounts of chonk.

I think I had more fun with the WiiU than the switch. Mario 3D world, tropical freeze, Mario kart, splatoon, captain toad and botw. On switch I enjoyed metroid but can't think of anything else. Unfair comparison since I was different amounts of busy for each console, just surprised me how badly it sold.

The Wii U sold poorly for many of the same reasons I expect the Switch 2 is likely to sell poorly. That is a price increase, not great marketing as far as I can tell, and it being possibly too similar to its predecessor. On the other hand, at least the switch 2 does seem to have a better lineup of launch titles than the Wii U did.

At least switch 2 has a "2" to indicate it's a new console and not an add-on

I did. It wasn't bloated but it was dead. I changed it.

Then I realized default gamepad batteries were shit all along and I didn't even know.
