Typical. I've been reporting on rumours of the Nintendo Switch 2 (or as we thought it might be called, Nintendo Switch Pro [or Super Nintendo Switch]) for over three years, and the thing gets announced while I'm on holiday. That means I'm playing catch-up, and only just setting eyes on the thing. And while most of the gaming community seems fairly satisfied with the glimpse we've been given on the Switch 2, I can't help but feel disappointed.
We've already covered the specs of the souped-up Switch sequel, but I want to talk about the branding and design. In its championing of personality and fun, Nintendo has always stood out from the competition from an aesthetic perspective, but that sense of joyful rebellion feels missing here.
