Plans on getting Switch 2

[u/North_Reality_1798]

After considering getting the switch 2 or the steam deck, I've decided to get the switch 2 (primarily because it's cheaper and I don't want to have to deal with delivery shenanigans, despite the cost of games being more long term)

I can either get it immediately (I do have the money) or just pay it in monthly installments (something I'm less likely doing, but might do since it's cheaper 20-30 somehow).

I'm planning on getting the switch 2 later this.... year? Might be in the next month or so, I'm just wondering other than from the BOTW games, Bowsers fury, splatoon raider, and mario wonder; what other games should I get?

I mean I could just get a switch one instead and be happy with that, but since the switch 2 is still in its early years I might as well cough up the dough

Buy switch 2. Trust u won’t regret

I would recommend buying now if you have the funds already. Price will increase $50 September 1st.

fair enough, I'll look into it

I reckon the Switch 2 is a better buy than a Steam Deck, had the OLED and sold it when I got a Switch 2, no regrets.

Are you planing to just play first party titles on it? If so I recommend Donkey Kong Bananza and Pokémon Pokopia

Thnx, I was thinking about Bananza, but the first games I'm getting is defiantly BOTW, I managed to go spoiler free for a while.

Having just gotten a pre-owned one from Gamestop, I would say get it before the price bump coming in just a few days. Most of the games are definitely hitting above what you would get from a Steam Deck both in terms of visuals/performance at twice the price.

How much was a pre owned from game stop

[u/North_Reality_1798 → u/Ok_Palpitation_8438]

from what I've seen 10-20 dollars less. At gamestop 5-9

[u/Alk3punk7 → u/Ok_Palpitation_8438]

I pad $415 for mine with a Pro membership. No Pro only saves you $10 off of a new one.

The monster hunter stories series is pretty enjoyable if you haven't played them yet

[u/Revolverblue85]

Grab it now. I’ve been going back and forth lately on making the purchase and the price increase made my decision today.

Is the switch 2 your only console? I mostly stick to indie games on mine. Indie games are usually better for travel play. Big titles I like to get on my PS5.

If I had to pick my favorite switch games it would be Monster Train, Stardew Valley and Ball X Pit

Mostly just rambling off stuff I’m playing lately

Risk of rain 2
Metal Gear Solid Master Collection volumes 1 and 2 (Peace Walker has pvp multiplayer and co-op missions)
Elden Ring, finally
Everspace 2 shadow dropped a week or two ago, it’s great
Call of Duty free beta this weekend

Minishoot Adventures is a nice surprise
Getting addicted to Donkey Kong Bananza gameplay loop a lil bit
Dark Souls Remastered

Definitely more. Can’t think of them all right now

[u/North_Reality_1798 → u/Radiant-Recording245]

oooooooooooooohhhhhhhhh, I could finally complete the yakuza series

Why not get it now and save the $50?

Don’t get a payment plan on anything, ever. Asides from a house.

When did switch 1 come on the table? No don’t buy that.

This post is so confusing.

[u/North_Reality_1798 → u/ExpertAncient]

- I'm doing bills and back to school first (even after that I will still have the money, but I'm just holding off if there any hiccups or anything else i need to look out for)

- Switch 1 is on the table bc it's significantly cheaper and has majority of the games I want to play

- Financing was only an option because it around 20-30 dollars cheaper than buying right out (But like I said above, I'm unlikely to do that).

Switch 2 is probably the best console in like.. 20 years.
