I know that it has a shorter battery life than the OLED plus the Switch 2 doesn’t even have an OLED screen by default. Also, the library of games exclusive to the Switch 2 isn’t much (they do have CP 2077, HW: AoI, DK: Bananza, MKW) & paid upgrades for both BoTW & TotK. Do you consider the Switch 2 worth it when you factor in shorter battery life, paid upgrades, 2 microSD card tiers (normal & express), expensive accessories & etc?

    I have both an OLED Switch and a Switch 2. If you don’t have any other consoles then I’d say a Switch 2 is worth it. It’s getting a lot of games the Switch 1 couldn’t play and combined with the Switch 1 library there’s a lot of really great games. If you have a Switch already then I’d say it’s probably not worth it. Likewise if you have a PS4/5 I’d recommend playing games on that over getting a Switch 2. However having a portable “home” console is a really nice feature. Something to consider is unlike the past it looks like Switches will get more expensive in the short term rather than cheaper

    In terms of games: DK Bonanza is a slightly worse Mario Odyssey, which is still a really good game! Kirby Air Ride is just ok. Mario Kart world is worse than 8 and Sonic Racing Crossworlds. Pokopia and Tamodachi are supposed to be excellent for people who like those games. Outside of that basically everything else is available on other systems
