I know we've been hearing stuff about this for years but it seems more plausible for early dev kits to be out there now given the aging hardware of the original, that is assuming that a switch 2 is the path Nintendo will actually take. Either way I hope it has better ui.

I hope they don't touch the UI honestly.

I respect your opinion, and I understand where it's coming from, but I find the switches UI to be basically perfect. No fuss, no fuckabouts, just gets me into the game.

I know this is a super divisive topic on the internet, so I know you're not alone in your opinion. I just don't really see what else would be wanted because for me, it does literally everything I'd want it to do.

Iron out a few hiccups, Bluetooth audio quick access menu, eShop speed, but buy and large, I love the streamlinedness of the Switches UI.

I agree 100%. One of the reasons Switch got me back into gaming was the ease of picking up and getting into a game, and the minimalist UI is a part of that. Even opening Steam these days gets your eyeballs immediately flooded with ads and call to actions, so it's nice to have at least one system that is only focused on playing games.
