I actually dont know anything about it, which is why the gif

[Majormachina]

Okay then, tell me what this console is like. Does it work well? How do the games run on it? Are you satisfied with it? More opinions are usually helpful.

i would reccomend it if you don't already have a switch 1. it runs old switch games like hyrule warriors much better and some of the new ones like DK bananza are pretty solid

Okay, I'm currently in a phase where I'm looking to buy a new console, and the Switch 2 is a candidate. How much did you pay for it? Well, where I live, that device will soon become more expensive. I think I have to decide soon.

That's a good price. How does the system work? Is it stable or still faulty?

I got drunk and stole my brothers for a little bit the ergonomics were bad, the screen was too big and the game keycard shit was also dumb. All that said it is a pretty big upgrade from the original if your the type of guy that primarily uses Nintendo consoles, don't care about its lack of worthwhile exclusives and have half a grand burning a hole in your pocket I would recommend it

I love my Switch 2. It's not the most powerful console out there, so if you're big on graphics you'll want to move along. It was on the pricey side but I feel like it was worth it.

The graphics on this device are fine. I don't understand what some people's problems with it are anyway. I watched Final Fantasy 7 Remake on the Switch 2.That turned out well I would also say it's better than you'd think.

I'm not an owner, but to me it seems like the only actual handheld at the moment, anything else is a glorified computer in some way (not saying that's bad, just different). If you already buy your games anyway, I'd say give it a shot.

Does anyone know if there will be a lite version again? People on the internet are certain that one will be released. But it's not certain and Nintendo isn't saying anything about it. It's all speculation.

It feels like more of the same, but slightly bigger and with worse ergonomics. It looks almost exactly the same as a Switch 1, the UI is almost exactly the same, and the eShop sells almost nothing but Switch 1 games.

Switch 1 is in my top three consoles of all time and I'm happy that Switch 2 didn't abandon everything that worked about the Switch 1, but I was also hoping for something more surprising or exciting than just a more expensive Switch.

I personally paid $400 for it. It's not at all worth the $500 it's going to jump to soon, but $400 is fine if you already have a handful of Switch 2 games you know you want. Otherwise, a Switch 1 will do almost everything a Switch 2 does at a much lower price point.

That's a good price. How does the system work? Is it stable or still faulty?

I've never had any stability issues with it. Switch 1 would crash out of games from time to time, but that was most likely the games themselves--I play more trash than most people ever should. I don't think the Switch 2 has crashed a single time in the nine or so months I've owned it.

For my money as a diehard Switch 1 fan (I have over 1,300 games on it and actually had probably 200 more before I sold off my physical games collection), it's disappointing and Nintendo is in their cyclical douchebag era, where, because their previous console sold like gangbusters, they've decided their consumers are stupid and will put up will all their nonsense. So unless you REALLY want a Switch 2, I'd wait until the price drops.

Personally, I think the Steam Deck is a better investment. The game selection is incredible, plus emulation is as easy as going to a website and tapping a button. Not to mention it's a little Linux-based computer than you can plug a mouse and keyboard into and use accordingly. And most games that are listed as unplayable on the Steam Deck actually have guides and workarounds to get them working. It's one of the coolest pieces of tech I've ever owned.

Hope this helps!

Thanks, that is very helpful.
