Nintendo announces the Switch 2 [video]

I get this is Nintendo, so it'll never be fixed, but I honestly hate having to buy Nintendo hardware just to play the three or four big-name platform exclusives per generation. It would be so much better for consumers if they would just abandon the hardware and be a regular games company

To Nintendo's credit, their big exclusive titles tend to take advantage of the special hardware.

Zelda was weird and impractical outside of the standard controls, but still somewhat benefited from NFC.

Splatoon plays a lot better with the motion controls, NFC is actually a nice QOL improvement. A game like Arms is also nicer in split mode, even if core players tend to get back to the standard controller mode.

I see it along the lines of the Allan Kay "People who are really serious about software should make their own hardware" quote. Nintendo should stay serious IMHO.
