I finally saved money to buy Switch OLED but I hear some rumors saying Switch 2 should release this year, is it worth waiting for new one or OLED is enough, I just want to play mario kart and zelda games. Thanks.

Yes Switch 2 is coming fir sure. Save your money.

But are you sure you want to play those children's games or is it just the idea of nostalgia and the submission to the relentless marketing?

If that's all you want to play then sure go for it, unless they announced new ones.

Yeah I'd wait, switch has been out for a while now - if Switch 2 is BC then just get your switch games later - If it isn't BC than you can buy a switch second hand cheap for those upgrading.

The only sure thing is once you buy it, a week later the second one will be announced.

I'd wait, Nintendo themselves have said they plan to have an announcement about the Switch 2 by the end of March in 2025. I think it can be safely said it's coming soon(ish)

I expect the Switch, but more.

More Switch, they should call it. Cause that's what it will be.

Better then the other two consoles that have absolutely nothing of worth to play on it. Well other then Astrobot, and Stellar Blade for one. And the other having the entire library being on PC anyway.

Not "SwitchU"? That worked so well the last time.

Would have worked better if it was presented and marketed better than it was.

the zelda games run at 30fps with dips so it's worth waiting then playing on the switch 2 (if you don't like the challenge) and obviously all original switch games should be compatible, just wait

if you wanna play mario kart now then a second hand wii and the game shouldn't be too expensive while waiting ... meh

wrong and look at your bio bro, you don't even know what a game is

Apparently it is so the price of previous models should go down when it comes out. Although instead you can use emulation if you have a decent PC and legally dump your own roms.

you'll need to do a switch in the first place to do that but i guess you can borrow a friends

the wii U was nintendos worst console and the "u" doesn't fit with the switches name, the whole idea before was like "we you" for some reason ... something to do with the gamepad and you doin stuff??? the switch 2 definitely won't have anything like that, the gamepad sucked and it'll be really dumb to use the name again

anyway half of the reason it flopped was because people thought the gamepad was the wii U, just an accessory, a lil gamepad for your wii
