I never bought a Switch so the general approach of "It's a Switch; but bigger and better" sounds good to me.
Nintendo have often released a standard version, then maybe made a bigger one or a smaller one later on to cater for larger/smaller hands eg 3DS XL, Switch Lite. So is a bigger by default console suitable for everyone?
The other thing is that Nintendo have often done something innovative or left-field like having an analogue stick, motion control, Gamepad.
Switch 2 doesn't seem like it has a Unique Selling point, and hasn't it lost the USP of the Switch? There are many portable consoles now that allow you to play PC games. All those people that bought a Switch and re-bought PC games they own - no longer need to do so; they can buy a Steam Deck for that. Makes me think that this could be disappointing in sales, especially if it's a higher price.
It seems the obvious thing for them to do. But I did wonder if they went with Campus for originality. Also, I suppose there's quite a few advanced theme park simulations like Planet Coaster; and Indie games like Parkitect - although I haven't got around to playing them to compare them. I suppose if the emphasis is on the humour, then they might still have a USP there.

The lack of adjustable backlight was a massive problem on the original model. I tended to play at home, so I just got the Gameboy Player for the Gamecube and played the games on the TV.
There were definitely some good ones. I'd probably go for:
The 3DS seemed well overpriced at launch and it didn't really appeal to me. I think the amount of lacklustre games on the original DS put me off. Also, I knew Nintendo would come out with a superior revision, so I was definitely holding off till then. I eventually bought the 3DS XL, and was renting games from Lovefilm. Thinking about it, I didn't actually play many games really (Lovefilm shortly stopped doing games, then later became Amazon Prime).
I was really impressed with Street Fighter 4, and I got addicted to Theatrythm Final Fantasy. You can't really go wrong with Mario Kart 7 either.

I loved the Game Gear; it got me into gaming. The battery life had such infamy that my parents never let me play with the batteries in, so I never experienced how bad the battery life was! I just had to sit near a plug socket in order to play.
These micros look cute, but they also look unusable. Out of all those available games, I only have played Sonic, Columns and Shinobi. Shinobi was one of my favourite games, although Shinobi II was probably better. So if I did get one; it would be the red one. I think I prefer the other colours though.
I'm skeptical of how well they would sell. The Game Gear wasn't that popular, you don't get many games on them, so they seem a bit pricey. Have they even said if they are being released outside Japan?
@Gelugon_baat: I checked earlier. It is listed in the controls. Backspace to skip the biker fights and cut-scenes. I don't think there is a need to skip the cut-scenes until you get to that final section. So if I did read it when I started the game, I definitely forgot about it by the end.
Skipping dialogue or cut-scenes probably should have been assigned to left or right-click, or even the Escape key. (I guess that's the least of the game's problems though)
