Give it a rest, killjoys: Nintendo doesn't need a new hardware gimmick to surprise and delight
Briefly

In the Switch 2, I see a path Nintendo has trodden before. I sometimes think the earth-shattering nature of the Wii and DS has distorted the way we think about the company. The truth is, Nintendo hasn’t always been one to take those big swings. In fact, Nintendo has done this sort of sequel-based hardware a lot.
The idea that by releasing a relatively iterative follow-up machine to the Switch, Nintendo had somehow lost its spark of creativity. Is the Switch 2 a capitulation on the Switch's mission to "surprise and delight" players, as outlined by the late Satoru Iwata? Well, er - no, it isn't.
