Title: Switch 2 - Who has one? Who is getting one?
Post by: BLUEVOODU on July 04, 2025, 03:01:52 PM
@Mai Valentine  --> you were right.  Stock was not hard to find.  I went 2 for 2 in finding Switch 2's at 2 different stores.  Our local Best Buy received something like 80 of them last Wednesday.  I ended up purchasing a Switch 2. 

It probably helps that there are no games other than Mario Kart that I want to play... and this might be the same as others as well.  Donkey Kong is coming pretty soon... so that will be a welcomed edition... but for $70...    :'(

The other part I'm having somewhat of an issues with is the upgrade packs to make games "better playable" on the Switch 2. I will create a separate topic on this.

The system looks cool. Transferring is pretty easy.  The screen looks really good, HDR where HDR works!  Part of me still wants to return mine LOL  ;D  but the other part... wants to break it out and run.

So... Who has one?  Who is getting one or will get one in the near future?  What are your thoughts on the Switch 2?  It's not THAT hard to get them if you want one.  Post it up!

I will probably wait for a switch 2 lite? Here is hoping for some type of price drop on games, used? I will watch prices on the Switch 1 to see if that drop. Might finally pick one up to go with my Switch lite.  :happydance:

Yeah - Nintendo prices just don't fall LOL...  ???

I don't see discounts on Switch 1 prices as well.  I upgraded my original Switch to the OLED version.  The original Nintendo Switch is 7 years old?  2017.  Joy Cons were sent into Nintendo and fixed.  They work pretty well and have been working.  I might be interested in parting with it... maybe not as well.  I need to think about it - if interested.  Boxed... box might be a bit sun faded.

Anyone else looking to pick up a Switch 2?
