Switch has some nice RPGs that has had me sometimes waver in getting one. However, I never liked the price premium of it being handheld when I was only ever going to use it docked thinking that a pure console version might be cheaper. It is now 2025 with Switch 2 being $450. My calculus has changed, though I still would only ever use it docked, I am considering a Switch 2 slightly more than I ever did Switch 1, for these reasons.
1. Backwards compatible, so all older RPGs exclusive to Switch 1 and all newer RPGs exclusive to Switch 2 will be available to me.
2. Future proof for me. I am still gaming at 1080p both console and PC. Someday I will find a relatively cheep 1440p 32inch TV and cheep 1440p 22 inch monitors.
3. $450 is honestly not that expensive an option for the power Switch 2 offers, imo being somewhere between PS4 Pro and PS5. PS5 is $500.
Might still wait until after all this tariff nonsense is gone.
