The successor to Nintendo Switch named Switch 2 will continue to be a hybrid console that can be played on TV and in portable mode, it will be launched
So should I buy a switch now or wait for the switch 2? A question as old as time.
If you didn’t buy a switch the first 6 years it was out (it came out in 2017) why the hell would you buy one now?
I can’t suggest which one to get since we don’t know enough about Switch 2 and it’s all entirely dependent on your personal situation, but I will post this:
- There are plenty of good games to play on Switch right now
- Switch 2, like all consoles, will take time to build a significant games offering
- According to the article, we don’t know yet if Switch 2 will be backwards compatible or not
@Rodsterlings_cig If the Switch 2 turns out to be backwards compatible, buying a Switch 1 now only to buy a Switch 2 later would be a waste. It’s better to wait for the announcement before making that decision.
If you buy one they will announce a new one, if you don’t they will not lol
As others have chimed in if you do decide to buy a switch get the normal one if you’ll play on tv
Using the normal switches price as a reference if your gonna play in handheld a lot either go lite if you wanna save a buck (at the cost of connecting to a tv) or oled on the opposite end if you have money to burn. I got an oled as a gift and apart from more storage which was negated by everything going on a big micro sd card, all the improvements of the oled only come in handheld mode like bigger and oled screen (same resolution irrc) speakers, and stand. Under the hood stuff fancy pants computer stuff is the same
