Rosalina and Bowser Jr. were obviously going to be present, so I found the trailer to be a little bit predictable and mundane. Not as many surprises and teasers here. I'm sure the movie will be awesome, even though Galaxy 1 and Galaxy 2 are not my favorites, but the movie might not be as entertaining as the previous one.

Switch is the first console I ever bought, and tbf even though I wanted it since launch, I thought it was always too expensive. I hoped the Lite version would drop in price significantly just so I could play Zelda BotW, but it just never did...

Early this year I finally bought the Switch for my gf. I didn't get Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley out of fear for reasons mentioned above. I got persuaded into buying the Switch with Mario Party Jamboree as a pack to just give us a lot of options. Despite trying for a total of 2-3 hours, that game is like the worst gaming experience I've had. My gf didn't like it either and bought Mario Kart 8 DL immediately.

Not much later I bought Streets of Rage 4, mostly for myself and cuz it was on sale. Turned out my gf really likes it as well and we even got its DLC after beating the game a few times. We've tried a few other games too, but we tend to stick to MK and SoR4. They're basically only as challenging as you want them to be, fun to play and yet easy to put away as well. Do any of you guys have recommendations on multiplayer games for Switch 1 with replayability that can easily be put away? I suggested Ibb & Obb and Unravel 2 to my gf, but she's not interested in that style of co-op, so I believe the game needs a certain intensity to keep her engaged with it.

TL;DR: My recommendation for Switch 1 (or 2): Get Streets of Rage 4 on sale and the DLC, I think it's worth your money three times over unlike some forever overpriced Nintendo games.

Animal Crossing came out 3 years after the switch...

yep, and i don't see them spending $450+ to play a version of ANimal Crossing with much better graphics. half the time they play it on a Switch Lite.
again, Nintendo could well be voluntarily abandoning this market segment.

I think you might be conflating "Switch 2 has better graphics than Switch 1" with "The only thing that new Switch 2 games will have to offer are better graphics". The former is a fact about the hardware, but the latter is an unjustified assertion that you're making about the next 5+ years worth of software.

You're right that Animal Crossing isn't played for the graphics, but that doesn't mean that the next AC won't have a ton of new stuff... just like every previous AC. In fact, Nintendo clearly understands that better than Microsoft and Sony, because Nintendo has historically been about innovation and new ideas, not simply copy/pasting a game in a higher resolution. Franchises like AC and Pokemon, for example, have had huge evolutions in gameplay, not just graphics. Whenever the next AC game gets released, it will be very popular like every other AC game... not because Switch 2's graphics are better, but because the next AC will have things that the previous one didn't/couldn't.
