Forums - Nintendo - Switch 2 owners - What will you do with your Switch 1? (Assuming you have one)

So, I just got my Switch 2 delivered today. (I'm 2/2 now when it comes to getting Switch consoles on launch day.) And it is up and running with Mario Kart World and pretty soon, the Switch 2 versions of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom (Once I get my Switch 2 Pro Controller anyway. Even with the bigger Joy-Cons giving me more room to work with - It just doesn't feel the same as having a Pro Controller - Which feels JUST RIGHT!)

But I still haven't transferred all of my data from Switch 1 over - And that's primarily because I have such a huge library of Switch 1 games that my Switch 2 just doesn't have enough storage to take it all on top of the games I eventually want to get for it (DK Bonanza, Prime 4, Legends Z-A, etc.).

So, I'll be keeping my Switch 1 around for a while longer (They're both currently hooked up to the TV and standing side-by-side together... With my PS5 towering over both of them.) At least until I get a bigger microSD express card with more than enough room to bit both libraries. After which, I'll likely do with my Switch 1 what I did with my 3DS - Give it to my nieces and nephew as a Christmas gift/hand me down.

What about you guys?

Do you have them lined up with a Switch on each side of the PS5, so it looks like a....you know...?

I put mine back in the box, but will keep it. I also have an unused Tears Of The Kingdom OLED one.



I will give it to my niece

Jailbreak it, turn it into handheld emulation beast, same fate as my Wii U



Locking. We already have a couple of threads with the same topic.
