Help me anons. I'm hesitant of buying one, yet I'm really tempted to play some of its exclusives. And I'm excited for the OoT remake.
Any switch 2 anons here that recommend the switch 2?
>>
>>740805367
If money is an issue, then wait for someone to create an emulator. If it isnt an issue, then why bother asking? Just go get it, or wait to see if a deal comes out around Christmas.
>>
>>740805367
I'm in the same boat, anon. If you aren't full of shit, I will say that I have battled with the concern of buying one, however, that was because I believed that all of the switch 2 games were "key only" meaning I thought that all of the games for the switch two were not loaded on the cart.
However, I have learned that the Nintendo exclusive games such as Donkey Kong and Mario Kart are fully loaded on the cartridges, meaning there is a good chance that OoT and Starfox will be fully loaded as well. I would say we should get switches only if we truly care about Nintendo exclusives, and not give a shit too much if the third party games are not fully on the carts.
>>
>>740805518
No, money isn't really an issue. And DESU I don't think a switch 2 emulator is coming anytime soon.
>>
>>740805367
You really should think for yourself a bit better but if there's a decent chunk of games you are interested in (Like 4 to 6 or more), go for it, otherwise just wait a bit.
Realistically you have until around September before the price hike kicks in so you got some time to think about it a bit more.
>>
>>740805634
>I dont think an emulator is coming out any time soon
What makes you say that? I was hoping one would come out this year because the prices are so high.
>>
>>740805602
I'm considering of buying the Switch 2 only for the Nintendo Exclusives. I already have a good PC. It's just that where I live, Canada, the Switch 2 is pretty expensive due to our liberal government ever decreasing the value of the canadian dollar. So the Switch 2 sits around at 650$ CAD. I wish I was in the US.
>>
>>740805850
Shit man, that's quite wild. Why not import one, if I may ask?
>>
The only reason to get a switch 2 is to play switch 1 games at acceptable frame rates and resolutions, there’s basically no games for it. If you don’t have a switch it’s not a bad purchase but please do not buy it new, always buy Nintendo products second hand, Nintendo gouges the fuck out of their customers. Never buy from the E shop for that matter.
>>
>>740805804
Anon, it's been nearly a year since the switch 2 released and no switch 2 emulator is here.
>>
>>740805936
I think I did not think this through went I sent this. I think I understand better. The value of the maple syrup dollar is losing its strength, got it.
>>
>>740805804
emulators can't be developed until the console itself is hacked
from what i've seen nintendo locked down the switch 2 pretty hardcore, every part of the operating system checks for any possible security flaw, so it's hard to dig through
>>
>>740805804
>I was hoping one would come out this year because the prices are so high.
That is very wishful thinking considering what the main reason a Switch 1 emulator was so qucik to br put together.
You will probably have to wait about 3-5 years for any news to come out from any of the guys currently working on them, and at most it will just be an update.
Unless you like falling for scams of course, then there's plenty of working Switch 2 emulators as we speak.
>>
>>740805936
Like buy a used one? That's a pretty good idea.
>>
>Mario Kart
>Donkey Kong Bananza
>Pokopia
Are these all the current exclusives? Why would you pay 500$ for this?
>>
>>740806072
>so qucik to br

I'm very tired.

I have been extremely judgemental on the switch 2. I know it's wrong to buy one. I know Nintendo are fucking greedier than ever. However, I know I will give in the moment a super smash bros comes out for it, if it ever does. I am also extremely weak to StarFox, regardless if it's another rehash. Surprisingly as a millennial, I don't quite give a shit about OoT. I'm probably the only guy in my thirties who doesn't care about it. I think the whole balding nintendo faggots who are literally cucks have made me disgusted with zelda. For some reason, I associated a lot of Nintendo shit with balding homosexual men. I wonder if Japan has their own memes when it comes to Nintendo crap.

>>740806260
Hey not all of us zelda fans are like that. :(
You could just associate this stereotype to redditors and not to zelda enjoyers like me.
>>
>>740806508
I know, anon. It's something I'm trying to break. I truly despise the whole association thing. I know there are plenty of normal people who actually get pussy and aren't cucks. I've been here since 2007, so it's kinda hard to bypass the brainwashing memes when you've literally seen them thousands of times kek.

Inferior to odyssey and I didn’t even like odyssey very much, it’s overhyped because the switch 2 really doesn’t have any exclusives.

Slop, comfy, but still slop

Just play sims 2, for fucks sake

Yeah that one is good

the switch 2 is overpriced but now everything else is even more overpriced
as a piece of hardware it feels very good and in terms of specs it's honestly good enough
boost mode makes the value of it shoot up massively, if you have literally any switch games you still want to play, or even 3rd party stuff you want to play in bed or wherever at actually good looking resolution and framerates (outside a few exceptions, like the 3d mario collection doesn't let you use it because it's bundled with Galaxy which uses the touch screen, I wish you could just disable it anyway but Nintendo is allergic to allowing anything that could make any part of a game not work, it's probably the same reason they don't let you globally remap the switch online legacy controllers outside the emulators, which is gay)
but basically everything works, and the online controllers are really nice, I've been playing RE4 in bed with the wireless gamecube controller in boost mode and it is really fun and feels great and that's not even an exclusive, AND i got it for sale for ten bucks
the eshop does have reasonable sales if you're willing to wait, and a lot of really nice things to play on a handheld like neogeo arcade ports that are actually good and way better than shit like the metal slug wii anthology which had dogshit input lag and forced you to play with a sideways wiimote instead of literally whatever controller you want, i can even plug in my 10+ year old arcade stick with a 20ish dollar converter
it's a very versatile system and since it's a backwards compatible iteration it already has a great library, even the switch online catalogue is fleshed out enough to be worth considering along with playing online and not having to fuck with an emulator, and somehow it's still way cheaper than what those faggots Sony and Microsoft charge while offering not even half of the value of Nintendo's back catalogue
and they're also the only company still making fun exclusives that aren't bloated AAA shit

IF the remake is good. I'm likely gonna wait until they announce a Switch 2 Zelda Edition

I can afford it and I do want it. I'm just asking some anons if it's a wise decision to buy it.
>>
>>740807560
If it makes you happy, it's wise.
If you're expecting some kind of financial return on your investment then no.
>>
>>740807273
Yeah, I already got a bunch of Switch 1 games. Not only will I get an upgraded way of playing them, I'll get to play some new exclusives that look pretty interesting.
And you're right about the pricing. The switch 2 is expensive, but nowhere near as expensive as the gaystation 5 or the xgoy. In canada, they cost 1000$ CAD. No way I'm buying them when I already have a good PC.
>>
>>740807559
The thing is, the Switch 2 is going to have a 50$ bump increase in the first of september. So I think it'll be better to buy one before september.

I thought snoys loved OoT though? Hence the reason why you Switchsnoys coined the term OoTsnoys.

See, this is why I make the distinction between liking Nintendo games and whatever the fuck these retards are, I assume they’re from a trooncord or some shit. They don’t care about the games, they worship the brand. I have a switch 2, the line up fucking sucks. Like I said, the main reason to get a switch 2 is to play switch 1 games, if you already have a switch 1 don’t get a switch 2, simple as that.

>>740805367
>I'm really tempted to play some of its exclusives.
That's the whole reason to buy a console, isn't? Just go for it.
>>
>>740805367
My rule of thumb is that the console should have 5 or so exclusives you like the look of before you buy. I can personally recommend DKB, Air Riders, and MKW, and with a massive caveat Star Fox, going off the demo. Besides that I'm looking forward to Splatoon, FE, Xenoblade, and OoT, but none of those are in a playable state so I can't comment on if they're any fun.

It's great, only console worth owning nowadays.
>>
>>740805367
I wasn't planning on buying it, but things happened and ended up getting one, it was such a pleasant surprise, the games look great on handheld and better on docked mode, MKW well it's Mario Kart so there's not much to say, the open world mode is kinda pointless but it is overall fun, some switch paid upgrades were a letdown, like Jamboree, while others are nice but too small like Forgotten land, I'm neutral on BotW/totk as they are "free" with online+, Xenoblade BCX doesn't add anything other than graphical upgrades same with Metroid Prime 4B, Air Riders is fun and looks gorgeous but there's not much content, Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is big on content and is quite fun, waiting for Star Fox, played the demo and well, it is SF64 HD, but it is one of my favorite games so I know it will be good.

Bitch, that will happen after the Switch 3 is on the market and it would need a beefy PC to run.
I do hope they unlock it, but it seems unlikely to be happening in the next 2 years

coin toss
ai unironically gets busted, hackers use it to bypass the security
ai stays relatively the same, no emulator until maybe 2030 when some game slips up on something like the 3ds days

I can't think of a better system. If 1st party games are the only thing you care, buy physical and resell later. The good part of Nintendo games never having discounts is that you can sell them for almost the price you paid.

Hello, I'm a Nintendo shill. My qualifications are I own every Nintendo console, willingly paid money for every Nintendo re-release of retro controllers, and spend my free time on the Internet talking about Nintendo.
I think after the release of Star Fox we're finally at a point where I could recommend someone the Nintendo Switch 2 without qualifiers. Yes, it's expensive. Yes, the online shouldn't cost what it costs for what it is. Yes, it's still the post-Wii U era so everything feels like Nutendo with the soulless, Apple store like qualify.
You're still getting a first party Nintendo console. With modern Nintendo they really seem to be not delaying any games-they announce it, then within a year of commitment you seem to get the first party title. I'm shocked Star Fox is releasing this month, and Ocarina of Time appears to be slated to this year.
It really does feel like we're back in the GameCube and Wii era. Kirby Air Riders, Pokopia, DK Bananza, Tomodachi Life, they're all really solid 9/10 games for what they are, but they're also no more than what they are. Every modern game seems to have a little crafting, a little customization, a little of this, a little of that, these games are very highly specific genres. I've had friends buy a Switch 2 then get disappointed when I dug in to find that they don't enjoy racing games, platformers, or life simulations. Go figure.
If you're a Nintendo fan, just buy it already. I play my Switch 2 every day, sometimes longform, sometimes I just pull out a retro controller and breeze through a virtual title playing with friends.
In any case you deserve it. I'm not sure if you've looked outside lately but society is as ever fucked. We live in the golden era of escapism, get lost and never come back.

get it. The boost in performance for Switch titles is noticable, and the exclusives are good. Yoshi was good, Bananza was good, Pokopia is a GOTY contender.
