While I don't have a Switch 2 yet, I am kind of amazed that Nintendo manages to release the pro controller which seems to be amazing, and on the same time still keeps to deliver joy cons with mediocre analog controls.

Not sure what is more depressing: That so far I had no luck in getting a Switch 2 or that I now have to pass a Switch 2 experience play area every day :/
