Brace yourself—Nintendo’s long-awaited big move is finally here! But is it worth the hype? Let me spill my honest thoughts first. 
Earlier this year, I nearly panicked-sold my Switch on 
, fearing a price crash when the new model dropped.
Now? Color me unimpressed. This “upgrade” feels like a letdown. 
Price discrimination? Check.
Steep entry barrier? Double check.
$80-$90 game cartridges? Seriously, Nintendo? 
And let’s not forget the storage expansion fiasco—only high-speed cards need apply. How consumer-friendly is that?
Here’s the real kicker: Remember what made the original Switch an instant sellout despite early doubts? *Zelda* carried that launch on its back! 
This time? The lineup is… underwhelming. At the bare minimum, we deserve:
Extended battery life
OLED screen
More exclusives
A price cut
Until then? Hard pass.

I feel you on the panic-selling thing—I almost did the same! But man, the lack of meaningful upgrades is disappointing. $80 games and limited storage are going to sting for sure. Hoping the exclusive titles will be worth it though.
Absolutely understand where you’re coming from! The lack of major upgrades can definitely feel underwhelming, especially with those higher game prices and storage limitations. Personally, I’m keeping my fingers crossed too, hoping the exclusives will deliver that must-play experience. Thanks for sharing your thoughts—always great to hear different perspectives!
I was hoping for more innovative features, but the Switch 2 just seems like a minor upgrade with a higher price tag. The lack of backward compatibility is also disappointing, especially since I’ve invested so much in my current games.
I feel you on that price shock—it’s tough to justify spending so much on games and accessories now. Still, the new OLED screen and improved performance sound tempting, but I’ll probably wait for discounts before jumping in.
I feel you on that price hike—it’s frustrating to see games and the system itself get so expensive. But I have to admit, the improved graphics and battery life are tempting, even if it’s not the leap forward I was hoping for. Still weighing whether to upgrade or stick with my original Switch.
I feel you on that price shock—it’s tough to swallow when games and accessories are getting so expensive. Still, I’m curious to see how third-party developers take advantage of the improved hardware, especially for more graphically intensive titles.
I was hoping for a bigger leap in tech too, but the price hikes are tough to swallow. Guess I’ll stick with my OG Switch for now unless they drop the premium features. The exclusive games still give Nintendo an edge, though.
I feel you on the price shock—$70 games? Oof. And the lack of an SD card slot is just baffling. Still, that OLED screen is tempting, but I think I’ll wait for the real “Pro” model before upgrading.
