Nintendo Switch 2 first impressions from a non-gamer

I attended the Nintendo Switch 2 Experience in NYC, and as someone who doesn't game, I was surprised by my experience

It feels a lot closer to holding something like the Steam Deck OLED or Lenovo Legion Go S, which is also thanks to the larger 7.9-inch screen (another design change that I greatly prefer over the old Switch’s 6.2-inch display). Between the interactive gameplay, colorful visuals, ease of use, and smorgasbord of available titles, I can only imagine how excited kids and young teens will be if they unwrap a Switch 2 this holiday season. I enjoy a lot of the newer Super Mario titles that Nintendo has produced, the multiplayer experience is ideal for my family and I, and the gorgeous 4K graphics breathe new life into the characters we all grew up with.
