    I mean nice but honestly I’m not all that excited about it right now without seeing some actual specs besides it’ll have a LCD screen an ‘larger’ internal storage.

    Notwithstanding but the switch 2 will have significant competition the steam deck and its competitors along with the fact that Microsoft and Sony are releasing their first party games on PC, Nintendo’s first party exclusives just aren’t as big of a draw for me anymore.

    Launching without an OLED screen would be a mistake. It’s going backwards with what they achieved with the switch OLED model.

      If you didn’t buy a switch the first 6 years it was out (it came out in 2017) why the hell would you buy one now?

        Back in 2017 I wanted to get a Switch for Breath of the wild and Splatoon 2 but looking back I’m actualy quite happy I went with the xbox one S instead

      I can’t suggest which one to get since we don’t know enough about Switch 2 and it’s all entirely dependent on your personal situation, but I will post this:

      • There are plenty of good games to play on Switch right now
      • Switch 2, like all consoles, will take time to build a significant games offering
      • According to the article, we don’t know yet if Switch 2 will be backwards compatible or not

        @Rodsterlings_cig If the Switch 2 turns out to be backwards compatible, buying a Switch 1 now only to buy a Switch 2 later would be a waste. It’s better to wait for the announcement before making that decision.

      If you buy one they will announce a new one, if you don’t they will not lol
