It's not over yet, but it's inching nearer to the end.

According to Games Fray's Florian Mueller (via VGC), the non-final rejection — meaning Nintendo has two months to respond (or more if it choses) — the USPTO has rejected all 26 claims made in the patent, which essentially revokes it, unless Nintendo chooses to respond.

The Switch was unquestionably innovative. So much so that there are many, many imitators now. The Switch 2 is just more of the same.

My four year old Steam Deck is light-years more versatile than the Switch 2.

Nintendo got me back in 2017, but lost me to Valve in 2022.

Same, except they sold me on a Steam Deck after revealing the Switch 2. Glad they did then, since they've been out of stock for months!
