I know that it has a shorter battery life than the OLED plus the Switch 2 doesn’t even have an OLED screen by default. Also, the library of games exclusive to the Switch 2 isn’t much (they do have CP 2077, HW: AoI, DK: Bananza, MKW) & paid upgrades for both BoTW & TotK. Do you consider the Switch 2 worth it when you factor in shorter battery life, paid upgrades, 2 microSD card tiers (normal & express), expensive accessories & etc?

    If you don’t own a Switch at all, then I’d say definitely grab one, you’ll have a pretty big back catalog of S1 titles to catch up on. Even for legacy content, performance will be better on S2, and you’ll be future proof for future games, so I would advise getting S2 over S1.

    If you already own a S1, upgrading really depends on how much you want new first party games. I bought it for Kirby Air Riders and that alone was well worth the price for me after waiting 22 years for that sequel.

    Ordinarily I’d say if you’re not that interested in the current lineup you can always wait until games you really want come out, but with the economy being fucked it’s possible there may be additional price increases in the future. So if you’re at all considering it, I think it’s best to grab one sooner rather than later. I’m half joking when I say I bought mine for Kirby Air Riders, I was also just nervous about tariffs, and I made the right call locking my purchase in at the launch price.
