Nintendo Switch 2

Honestly, debating between this or the SteamOS version of the Legion Go S. Not really sure which at this point.

Really hinges on "Do you want to play Nintendo games?"

Yeah, that's really it for us, the 1st party Nintendo games: Mario Kart, Zelda, Mario Party, we've played those so much, had so much fun playing together.

Looks like the preorders have been delayed, because, well, you know ...

Not a huge thing, this was intended as an Xmas gift, but hopefully N won't walk back on saying the price won't change.

First it was COVID, now it's tariffs. Nintendo can't seem to get a break.

Sorry that Trump has to infiltrate every thread with bad news but it's the world we live in now.

"Pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 in the U.S. will not start April 9, 2025 in order to assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions. Nintendo will update timing at a later date. The launch date of June 5, 2025 is unchanged."

I feel a bit like Golum in lord of the rings.... "give it here my love, I wants the switch. I needs it."

Wonder if they will do a patched version of Zelda breadth of the wild for it or Tears of the Kingdom ?

Yes. It was announced as part of the direct. Not free though.
