I thought the case would be a shoe in to be honest, I didn't account for the judge just not wanting to deal with that hot potato due to being up for re-election. While federal judges are usually appointed state and local are often elected officials, though most voters don't pay much attention to local judicial elections.
The prices aren't the only thing that has turned me and many others against them, though I won't deny they are a factor. The patent trolling and lolsuits are actually considerably worse than the pricing. Putting that aside for a minute the Switch 2 launch titles are mostly Switch 1 ports. Mario Kart World dosen't interest me all that much personally, though I will admit I probably would have gotten Donkey Kong Bananza if I did get the Switch 2 (it looks good).
Overall Nintendo is indeed one of the better companies in terms of quality of the games themselves, I will agree on that one, albeit with the caveat that only one game so far has caught my interest with the Switch 2 so far (not counting the ones also available on other platforms).
