to be fair, people were VERY excited about those two new games. I can see how someone can talk themselves into splurging for it, especially if the Switch is their only handheld. Prices of consoles seem to be going UP over time instead of down, so if you think you’ll want one when there are more games, it’s actually more frugal to buy NOW before chip shortages and tariffs drive the price up even higher.

Glad people are apparently happy with it, but I’ll never understand it.
It feels like there’s only two new games (Mario Kart and Donkey Kong) compared to all re-releases…
I’ve been super happy with having a Steam Deck, so maybe that’s just pushed me away from that camp entirely

The only Switch 2 game I even have right now is Deltarune. But I know I'm buying Kirby Air Riders, and I figured it'd be best to make sure I get the console right away in case tariffs fuck anything up by then.

I might grab in half a year since I skipped Switch 1, and Steam Deck frankly doesn’t emulate well enough, however much I love it.

That’s all Switch 1 needed in the beginning (Mario Odyssey and Breath of the Wild)

Don't forget Splatoon 2.
