Hey guys! I've been tuned into Sacred Symbols & Defining Duke for awhile now, but I'm a new Punching up listener and this is my first time writing in! Do you think companies will view the Switch 2 as a way to give games that underperformed a second chance? Or do you think companies will only port their successful games? Also, what ports in general would you like to see the most for Switch 2? I'd personally love to see Dead Space remake ported to Switch 2. It's a great game that sadly underperformed and deserves a second chance. I'd love to hear your thoughts and thanks for the great content!

With the Switch 2 having the USB C ports on the top and bottom and the idea being floated around that they could release a second screen for it to allow for DS emulation/ports, it got me thinking. What if with the mouse abilities of the JoyCon Nintendo allowed for laptop type functionality? The main/bottom screen being used as a touch screen keyboard and then the added second screen being your main laptop display with a JoyCon mouse. As this is Nintendo you would assume it would be pretty locked down, but they could go the route of the Chromebook with a curated app store with Google Docs, email, photo editing, etc. With their parental controls they could pitch it as the safest laptop for kids on the market (and kids are so used to touch screen keyboards so that wouldn’t hold it back). It could even be used as added functionality for games like Civ. New Mario paint with import/export photo editing capabilities? They made a VR headset out of cardboard, so crazier things have happened. Be well,
