TLDR down below if you don't want to read.
Look, I honestly believe that it's not a purchase that's worth it. Even if you have the money, you may not get the value. Something at that price point with what's being offered doesn't add up. It really just looks like what the Switch OLED should have been. That, and the fact that you have to pay a price to use a button on the controller to chat in-game. A little ridiculous this day and age even if you don't use it. You can get a lot more bang for your buck by purchasing a Switch to Mod it via Mig Switch or the 256GB Steam Deck.
Also, knowing that Nintendo intentionally put the initial price of the Switch 2 out before the tariffs just so that they can blame the tariffs and be bereft of any blame is slimey to me as well. Keep in mind, this isn't the only time Nintendo has done something like this. We can go back to the 3DS to where that wasn't so fairly priced and then they switch up by releasing the 2DS and saying that all who bought the original were to be apart of some "Ambassador Program" to try and put the band-aid on. That's just one example.
The Game Key Cards are just a big no from me big dawg. Maybe it's my own bias of being a physical copy collector, but the fact that these companies (on the low) are trying to push more for not having physical releases from games are problematic. There's nothing on that card that you can use. It's basically a middle man to the database for you to download from. F*** that. Also, a lot of those launch titles you can already play pretty damn well on another console or handheld PC and most likely already have.
If you're still interested then I would say to give it a year to a year and a half to see where things are, cause right now I don't think it's going so well. I'm not a Nintendo hater at all but I will ALWAYS call bullshit out when I see it. I suppose that's why I'm an enjoyer of these companies, but not a fan. It's best to keep the rose-tinted glasses off.
TLDR; Nah man, just wait a year to a year and a half. There are better options for you. But who am I? Just a man with Carl Aznable as his pfp.
