Should I buy a Switch 2 despite owning an OLED?

Unless you want to play Mario Kart World or DK Bananza, then do.

I love my Switch 2, I play it every day. Personally I feel like it was well worth it. The physical system itself is improved in nearly every way. It's significantly more confortable to hold. I know a lot of people are upset about no OLED, but honestly I haven't had any issues with the screen. Switch 2 editions run so much better than an original Switch, it's night and day. I've never really had an issue with battery life. Although there is a good point to be made about waiting for the one with a removable battery. I think it really depends on wether or not the exclusives are worth it to you. Starfox, DK Bananza, Pokopia, and HW: Age of Imprisonment are all really great if you are interested. Another good thing to keep in mind is that so far Nintendo has committed to releasing their first party games fully on a physical cart. Given the current state of the industry, that's a huge plus for me. Pokopia is the only Nintendo game key card, but that one wasn't entirely in their control. If you have the money and want one, I say get one.

Switch 2 OLED edition is already in the works! If you can hold out till next year it will probably be worth it

I'd like to play BoTW and ToTK, but I'm not gonna go spend money to do it.

A) I have principles.
B) Nintendo is a multibillion dollar international corporation, that's recently started charging $80 for games that are most definitely not worth the price.
C) save your money for actually useful shit like groceries and gas.

This. I'm a little surprised so many comments are telling OP to go ahead and buy it if they're inclined to. Too many people are way too okay with all of this.

You can have money for both though. If you play 500 hours of BOTW or TOTK at $70, that's 14 cents an hour for your entertainment. A pretty good deal if you ask me.

No. Break yourself of buying shit from evil companies.

Everyone in this thread is like "don't" and then refuses to offer a single alternative. Because there isn't one. Not for the price or with the final bastion of physical media, if you care about that sort of thing. Some people just want to play games without spending eight hundred dollars on a Steam Deck. I am as baffled by most of Nintendos decisions as most people who spend too much time online, but holy fuck people, give it a rest.

Comments aside from people that don't own any Switch in general, I enjoy mine. All of my Switch 1 games are improved by playing on the 2, whether just load times or more. If you have a large Switch 1 library, you will benefit. If you want any of the few Switch 2 exclusives, then get it. One year in, I do not think there are necessarily enough Switch 2 exclusive games to justify the cost of entry, if you don't already have a library of Switch 1 games. That said, like you said, it probably won't get any cheaper, so if you're going to eventually get one, maybe think about it sooner. If you play handheld most of the time, maybe consider holding out for the OLED, which does not have a date, and rumors cannot give a date for.

For reference with the Switch 1 OLED, reports indicate that Nintendo purchased OLED screens in March 2021. The Switch OLED was released in October 2021, so a 7 month gap. There have been no reports of Nintendo purchasing shipments of OLED screens that match the specs of the Switch 2.
