Loved the article! I’m a big believer in the philosophy of using existing technology in new, creative ways, so I really appreciated the Gunpei Yokoi mention in this piece.
What stood out most to me, though, is how Nintendo seems to be avoiding unnecessary disruption with the Switch 2. They’re not reinventing the wheel just for the sake of it — and honestly, that might be the smartest move.
Focusing on meaningful improvements like modern account systems, share play across multiple devices, and smoother user experience feels like a natural (and overdue) evolution. I hope these features become the new standards for Nintendo from now on.
An amazing write up! I’m not interested in the S2 at all but this was an a really informative read for someone who is interested in the tech!
Thanks!
