I love my Switch 2, but it didn't give me any of the same feelings of past console launches and I figured out why.
I will never forget the unbearable excitement I felt on that early morning on my 7th birthday. It was 1998, and Pokémon was the biggest thing in the world, especially for an elementary school kid like me. Except that I didn’t have a single card or game to my name. In fact, I didn’t even have a Game Boy. That, plus Pokémon, was the only thing I asked for that birthday, and I knew I would get it.
Meet the new console, same as the old console My first instinct as to why getting my hands on the Switch 2 lacked that special feeling as previous consoles was to blame it on my age. I’m a full adult now, and one whose career revolves around covering games, so it would only be natural that the magic of a new console would wane. After my first month, however, I couldn’t shake the feeling that there was something more.
None of that is bad, but it makes it so easy to forget that I’m playing a new console. With game graphics and performance leaps becoming so minor now, plus the number of cross-gen games, there’s very little to give me that new and exciting feeling I had with past generations. I know that my memories of my first days with the Game Boy, PS2, and Xbox 360 were cemented in my mind because of how unmistakably unique they were from top to bottom.
