My goal is just to have a community where people can go and see what new game news is out for the day and comment on it.

Took some digging - author is reporting ~2 hours battery life.
So basically a Steam Deck. That's too bad.
OG steamdeck, which I retired and never used much.
OLED steamdeck has been life changing however, much much better battery. Between that and lack of oled screen switch 2 is a big miss.
Yeah, I like the OLED on the Switch, maybe I'll wait until the Switch 2 has a revision
Why wait? Get a Steam Deck now and have hundreds of thousands of games available to play.
I have a Steam Deck...
I mean it's your money, but if you already have a portable handheld with better screen, better battery, and that can run the whole of the steam catalogue... why spend $450 (or whatever) on the Mario Machine, is it just for the exclusives?
I and my kids value the exclusives, especially Smash Brothers, Mario Kart, Zelda, and Kirby. I could emulate those, but getting local multiplayer working is tricky and not something I expect my kids to do with their friends. We also share games with neighbors, which is nice too.
Most of my time and gaming money goes to my Steam Deck, because that's what I play when the kids go to bed. In fact, I never play the Switch without my kids watching. We have maybe 20 Switch games, and I have hundreds of Steam games. I see value in both ecosystems.
I can get a lot more than that out of my OLED.
Depending on the game, I can get 4 hours or so on my OG Steam Deck, but AAA games can burn through it in under 2 hours.
I read it after a day of train travel with Switch 2 so that article hit a nail on the head for me although you’d be hard pressed to get just 2 hours, more like 2,5h for heavy titles with WiFi. Zelda TOTK could be stretched to almost 3h in the airplane mode with brightness slider in the middle. Very similar to Switch v1/Erista that I never upgraded out of because it’s so easy to hack.
Batteries don't get better the more you use them
Yeah, as my Switch v1 can no longer carry me through my entire commute I expect same to happen with S2, which is the worst part of this.
The switch 2 is a disgrace period.
Previously people complained the Switch 2 couldn’t push pixels like a PS5…
Is there a big rift in the player base that plays docked vs mobile? I just don’t know how to process the feedback for this console.
Sounds like its making no-one all that happy.
The article'e author hopes for battery improvements. The entire technology sector wants this. Bigger screen and more powerful uses more battery. 5220ah compared to switch 4310ah. Don't hold your breath waiting for a bigger battery. Also there has been numerous articles on what you need to change to greatly improve the battery time. Another negative switch 2 article for a great selling system that many people enjoy.
5220ah sounds like they just put a standard cell phone battery in. It's a fair bit bigger than a cell phone tho. Standard components are cheaper I guess 🤷
mili amp hours or amp hours
Ah yes, definitely should be mAh.
