I don't think Nintendo is going to go "Seal of Quality" but it would be nice if the Switch 2-filtered eShop was not full of cynical trash. The ease of publishing for the Switch 1 was new for Nintendo, and it was welcomed at the time, but in retrospect they went too far.
What is true is that (for example) Split Fiction and Tony Hawk 3/4 are quite a bit less fancy than the PS5 or XBox versions, which is unflattering.
Wouldn't recommend tbh, yet.
This makes me sad, as I played super Mario world on one of the first imported consoles in uk, have snes, n64, game cube, Wii, Wii u, switch and switch2.. each of them had awesome launch titles and follow ups... switch 2 seems.... empty?

There might be a few reasons for this, but I’m guessing an increased reliance on updating old IPs combined with the rising popularity of Steam Deck-grade portable console hardware.
Nintendo did OK for indie Switch 1 development but it was hard to port to as it lacked many hardware features of contemporary PCs and consoles. The Switch 2 is a bit more of a level playing field. Not as powerful as a PC but has similar capabilities, which makes porting easier.
