Probably same here, Switch 2 is the first console I've regretted buying since... not even sure when. Maybe ever?

PS4 wasn't very good on year 1 either but it at least felt like it had a point (being top of the line tech). Switch 2 though is just a weak counterpart to PS5 that can be brought on the go, which isn't much of an advantage anymore, and it has basically no games. Mario Kart World isn't as good as the existing Mario Kart 8 (and it's a shutout). DK Bananza is alright but not really my bag at this point in life. Metroid Prime 4 was what I was keeping the system around for and it's turning out to be a big letdown.

I guess it has much-improved versions of the big two Zelda games, which I still need to play, but that's literally the only benefit to having a Switch 2 for me at this point and it ran me like $550.
I thought we would get more out of Mario Kart World. Open World Mario Kart sounds like such a great idea, and they started down the road but just let the premise die on the vine. My son got his money's worth out of his but it didn't keep my daughter's attention, she went right back to Roblox. I got a lot of play out of another round of Tecmo Bowl but thought there would be at least one other game I would have enjoyed. I can't finish my backlog on PC, though, I haven't even started on EU5 or Dispatch.

It's sad to watch companies become the soulless, mean-spirited bottom-line caricatures of themselves they have often been portrayed as in the media.

The two botw games are both ass and it's also extra shitty because botw came out on the wiiu. That's how low the bar is. A wiiu game runs well on the switch 2
I played the 1st BOTW game on my PC emulated Wii-U with a PS4 controller in 4k. I thought it was just OK. I didn't even bother with the 2nd one.
