I’ll be having a gathering at mine with a few friends. One of them is brining theirs round. I wont be getting a switch 2 on release as there are no games that excite me and I have so many games on switch 1. I’m sure I’ll get one eventually.
I think I might sit this gen out and go pc. The reason I usually prefer console is because it’s a lot more streamlined and less faff but now with purpose built machines and steam os on the way. I only play indie games mostly anyway so I don't even need more power. I’ll just be sticking with my switch 1 for now. I’d have made the jump to switch 2 if the games were not just going to be emulated and there was going to be a boost on most/all games like on ps4 to ps5 rather than what xbox original to xbox 360 was like.
@Moistnado I feel the same way with lots of the collections on switch. Taito comes to mind, release them all on one cart and stop messing everyone around. I ended up not buying any at all.
I’m kind of mixed, it seems obvious as it’s a separate device and I wouldnt want a compromise/work around but at the same time it does seem like a bit of an oversight I mean they’re both usbc connected?
@Zufolobelisk Do you not remember we had that vote last week when I was made the representative of the nintendo fanbase community? And then we all voted that we didnt want any ea games on the switch 2? I thought you were there?
@goldgriffin360 Inflation is one factor moving the needle in that direction but there are so many and larger things moving it in the other direction such as the audience it bigger now meaning they can charge less per game, the physical part of games costs less now than it did before and so on.
This gives off “You guys have phones dont you?” vibes.
In all seriousness though I’m glad this was covered as I thought the system might explode if you pressed the c button without their greedy grabby little fingers all over my credit card.
@sanderev Thats what I’m hoping but the proof will be in the pudding. Plus some of them wont be emulated properly/at all. It’s similar to the 360 backwards compatibility situation.
@johnvboy The only one in the facts section which could be disputed as a fact or not would be the games costing too much part but the market will soon make that decision I guess.
switch 1 games are emulated & will have similar issues as xbox games on the 360
the whole c button situation needing a subscription for a button
it’s so much cheaper in japan meaning that they could charge so much less for it
My personal situation
I dont need a new console rn, I buy an indie game on switch every other week or so
I have the cash but not ready to spend it, between the console, a controller, a new 120hz monitor, I’m looking at £1000 all in. I’m not confident on how the eshop will transition
I’ll be waiting for after the release and I’m in no hurry.

Check how much inflation has jumped in just in the last row or 2.
