is Nintendo switch 2 worth it

[Morgana Veil]

I'll let you know if I ever buy one. Don't hold your breath

Use that money to buy a Steamdeck OLED or Odin 2 Portal is my recommendation.

What's the price?

Also the issue is that I won't get Kirby Air Riders on them...

But like any newer consoles it's always better to wait 6 months if not a full year to see more interesting games on it.

Steamdeck OLED is $550, if you don't mind a LCD screen, $400. Odin 2 Portal Pro is also $400. Switch 2 is also $400-500 depending on if you get the pack in or not. I wouldn't be concerned with just one game for a system, considering what the Steamdeck and Odin 2 can offer you. With Switch 2, you'll only be limited to what Nintendo gives you. With the other 2, the World is your oyster. And if the Switch 2 ever gets *ahem* then you also have the systems to take care of that itch as well in the future, and even play Kirby Air Riders on it. Assuming you have the patience to wait for it.

Yes, I buy a Nintendo console primarily for the Nintendo games, that's nothing new and it's the case since at least the N64 (counting Rareware as a second party dev). My secondary use for the Switch 1 was for indies (and occasionally retro game compilations/remasters/ports) when they're in heavy sales but mostly for my favourite ones.


I know that it would but I categorically refuse to emulate a game that is still sold in store, I only go as far as the 3DS and Wii U (and PS360 although I could run the PS4 and Xbox One on my PC if I really want to try Bloodborn and Rare Replay).

Fair enough. Then my answer to you is to wait it out, until Kirby releases or any other game you might really enjoy, where you no longer have to ask that question to yourself, and have no doubt.

I'll probably buy one eventually to play stuff online with my friends. I definitely won't be collecting physically for it though, lol
