Let's get one thing straight: for the record, the Nintendo Switch 2 (and other devices like the original Nintendo Switch) do a great job at appealing to a wide range of gamers, and notably, being a fantastic family-friendly device. From Mario games to fighting games like Super Smash Bros Ultimate, and now, Mario Kart World, there's no doubt that Nintendo consoles, specifically the Switch 2, have a lot to offer.
However, I don't believe the new device does enough to warrant its price tag (including the $80 price for games), especially in comparison to other handheld gaming PCs on the market. I've mentioned this several times in previous articles, highlighting the significant performance gaps between the Switch 2 and the likes of an MSI Claw 8 AI+ or Asus ROG Ally – but that's not the highlight here.
