I mean, when talking about battery life: the Switch 2 is shorter whilst the OLED has it last longer. The thing is, there are games I want to play that are exclusive to Switch 2 (like HW: Age of Imprisonment or DK Banaza), I do have a ToTK special edition OLED switch though. The only difference is performance (as it’s 1080p handheld supporting up to 4K at 120 fps).
They are increasing the console price worldwide, it’s ¥49,980 ($309 / 270€) as of now but later it’ll become ¥59,980 ($371 / 324€), so should I purchase it? Also the console will become $500 / 500€ (for now it remains at $450 / 470€) I’ve heard that a new variant is releasing in 2027 with a portable battery, even then is the console still worth purchasing?
I was in the same situation as you (though in the US so that replaceable battery model likely won’t release here), I desired to get a Switch 2 despite having a TOTK OLED simply because of Switch 2 exclusives like the upcoming Fire Emblem. I have a perfectly good working console that’s more aesthetically pleasing than a Switch 2, better screen albeit smaller, with accessories that would be useless with an upgrade.
With the price hike imminent, I bit the bullet and bought one. For me it was at least a bit easier as I had gift cards to bring down the price. As much as I dislike Nintendo’s practices, I have to admit that they’ve given me enough reason to buy one by now.
I’ll likely sell my Switch 1. Might hold onto it for a little. I’m not really sure.
