Topic: Should I upgrade to Switch 2?

@NatefrmAZ
If you’re going to spend hundreds of dollars regardless, buy the best system, which is the Switch 2. It can play all the games.

If you buy an original for a couple hundred and enjoy a bunch of games, that’s great and all, but months down the line when stuff you want keeps coming out only for Switch 2, you’re gonna have to pony up even more money than if you just got it in the first place.

@NatefrmAZ If you don't have a Switch 1 I would definitely recommend a Switch 2. The Switch 1's lineup is top tier IMO and the Switch 2 will only get more games, so you'll have no issue finding tons of games to play.

I was very late buying a Switch 1 and bought a Switch 2 about a month ago. My experience with it is generally positive. I was a bit frightened about where Switch 2 pricing was going with RAMegeddon so didn't wait for more exclusive games like I normally do. Overall I'm very pleased with my purchase and enjoying it. I still feel my Switch Lite is the better portable console and that is the console I carry with me out of the house. I also own a PC, Steam Deck and PS5 plus older retro consoles. I only have one full on Switch 2 exclusive which is Mario Kart World but a few upgraded Switch 1 games like Skyrim Anniversary, No Mans Sky and a few others. I've got tons of stuff to play through and happy with my purchase. It's definitely been a better purchase than I expected mainly because although the display panel isn't amazing it is not as bad as I expected. It's fully usable if not the smoothest experience in motion. Now that you can play Switch 1 games in docked mode while portable its massively improved the experience for me. It's been a huge upgrade especially for the games in my Switch 1 library. I still feel the Switch Lite and Switch OLED are fantastic cheaper options though. I think at this point the Switch 2 is a good purchase but perhaps in a year when many more games are available it will be far better purchase. I'm in the UK so would have benefitted from the new European spec Switch 2 which is more repairable and upgradeable next year in line with EU legislation. However I'm happy with what I have.
