To be honest, this gamer is totally gob smacked on the attitude that people have when it comes to new console releases.
Sure it was time for a change. But is it worth the hassle and aggravation?
I’m not the one to jump on the NCHW (New Console Hype Wagon), just for the sake of popularity. I pay attention to the ebb and flow of popularity.
I learned this lesson all to well when the SEGA Saturn was released in 1994. Like everyone else in the console video game space at the time, I jumped on the hype and pre-relase popularity.
But in the end, after it was all said and done, it was a total flop. The lesson that I learned is plain and simple.
Slow down and relax. Let others make the mistake. Let them make the mistake you’ve made.
But this time around, the hype was justified. The Switch 2 is one of those consoles that lives up to the hype. Where the games go from here is up to NINTENDO and the publishers. But take it easy, Let the hype train enter the station and then buy the system. I’m telling you, it’s worth the wait.
I have owned every Nintendo console, but skipped on the first Switch because I was a bit upset with how they treated the Wii U. I get why they let it go so early – lower sales numbers – but was still disappointed. I’m a gamer. I had Xbox, PlayStation, and PC to play with… so I wasn’t worried about lack of games.
I was thinking about getting the OLED Switch when that model came out, but figured I waited this long, might as well wait a bit longer for the next system. Glad I did because with the Switch 2, I now have a back catalog of games to pick from instead of the small amount of launch titles… with faster speeds and visual enhancements.
Not sure if original Switch owners need to buy the 2 right away, however. They could probably wait a year or so when more titles come out.
As a Switch 1 owner, I’m definitively gonna wait to finish my current Switch backlog, and also probably for the Oled refresh. But since I got my Deck, I barely touched my Switch, so it will probably take a long time 😆.

Sure, but that’d be quite the costly upgrade just for better framerate. 😆
Not that I ever did the same with a GPU at the same price tag… (Who am kidding? 😂)

I really hope there‘ll be a lot more Switch 2 patches. Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Pikmin 3/4, Octopath Traveler 1/2, all of these could run 1080p60 in handheld easy and I‘d love it!
That’s exactly what I’m saying. It’s not totally nesessary to buy yet. Besides, they’ll have a catalogue of games that are heading to Switch 2. So no need to jump the gun just yet.
