Dare I mention it but the Switch 1 version also suffers from high levels of piracy be it Mig-switch carts or just emulation. Already there are videos showing the Switch 1 version running at 4K 60 native and looking far superior to the Switch 2 version. Yes there are currently bugs and glitches but I'm guessing it won't be long before those are ironed out. Also as previously stated the Switch 2 version runs on Switch 1 and the reviews have been mixed, many will complete the game quickly and others simply don't like the game so maybe the Switch 2 version will be more resellable even if you bought it to play on your Switch 1. I suspect many won't need to go back to the game so physical this time around maybe the logical choice rather than digital where its just stuck in your library and never being played which sounds like about 70% of my steam library. I've been put off the game a bit with the reviews and was never the greatest Metroid fan anyway, I hated the 2D games and the 3D versions are not my favourite fps games by a long way. However I am a Switch owner and if I had bought it, it would definitely have been the Switch 2 version on cartridge to play on my Switch OLED and Switch Lite. If you are planning to buy a Switch 2 at some point it seems the logical choice. You can then experience the Switch 1 game and later have a Switch 2 game to enjoy on your new Switch 2.
