If you can do an emulator or mod your switch, there's a really good BDSP mod called Luminescent Platinum that adds a ton of QoL stuff, mons, NPCs, and Platinum stuff.

This looks really cool. It's been on my wishlist for awhile. I don't normally play these kinds of games, but it looked so cool in the trailer. I may jump in on the Game Pass version.
I'm playing
-
Pikmin 3 Deluxe - Finished the story and started the side missions. It's been super fun. Such a huge leap over 1 and 2. I played 2 immediately before 3DX, and I didn't care for it. The dungeon structure didn't do it for me, but 3DX has been wonderful, albeit very easy.
-
Final Fantasy XVI - I've been very slowly trucking along through this. I took a break after I had a family tragedy recently and wanted to focus on happy games while that was happening, but I'm getting back into this and hoping to finish soon. Really liking it. It's fun, the story is good, the characters are interesting. It's just a solid game. Wouldn't want every FF game to be this going forward, but I'm not upset XVI is what it is.
-
Destiny 2 - Just leveling the season's battle pass mostly. I don't play D2 hardcore these days. Just to the story and hop off. The story for the season has been over, so I just hop on for a little bit each weekz turn off my brain, and level a few times while listening to a podcast. It's my comfort food game, though I think I'm the most disinterested I've even been in this game.
I really enjoyed the demo for this from one of the Steam Next Fests. Not sure about the performance for the Switch version, but it's a cool concept from what I've played.
I've let my 4 and 6 year old nephews play with some of my handhelds, and the Miyoo Mini seemed about the right size for them. The Nano may be too small even for kids that little.
The architect. You'd think my husband has some kind of head injury that prevents him from understanding shapes by the way he just throws everything in there.
That's exactly what I thought. They've been criticized for years about making pointlessly enormous games like Valhalla and Far Cry 6.
I tend to play on my AYN Odin Pro, but I also like my RG351V for certain games and my ROG Ally has VRR, which is neat for getting the weird refresh rates to match old consoles.
I didn't realize this was a FromSoft game.
What is the "Job Fiesta Challenge"?
For bsnes, accurate uses more resources to emulate more accurately. Some emulators aren't as accurate. They aren't exactly 1-to-1 compared to SNES. That doesn't mean they perform worse. In fact, it often means they perform better. But running better (or different in any way) means it's a less accurate emulation. The other versions of bsnes and snes9x are less accurate emulators, but require less resources.
From a practical standpoint, I'm not sure you'd even notice the difference between any of them. Snes9x takes significantly less resources than bsnes though. Unless accuracy is what you care about snes9x is the better option.
Whatever the Switch 2 end up as, I think people may be disappointed. Without some huge leap in battery and power efficiency, it's going to be hard to keep something slim and relatively small while also making it much more powerful and having decent battery life. Just look at the handheld PC market. You can make something more powerful, but other things will suffer (size of you're the Steam Deck, battery life and thermals if you're the Ally). You could certainly make a more powerful Switch, but if keeping it small and somewhat battery efficient is important, the improvements to power wouldn't be earth shattering unless Nintendo is sitting on some battery tech no one else has.
