Or, get this - if you want a switch 2, buy a switch 2 if you can afford it.

Me, not being a little baby man, am going to buy one at some point because I want to play the Zeldas and the Marios and no one is gonna keep me from enjoying those games when they come out—and I’m still gonna emulate on my Retroid ‘cause fuck Big Gaming.
Fuck big gaming but you'll still hand them money and emulate?
Yes
I mean, my Switch works, and if Microsoft won't port the Xbox UI to Windows handhelds, then I'll buy a Steam Deck.
Didn't plan to buy one, before the S2 was announced.
The number of anti consumer actions they take is amazing. They still hate YouTube. Instead of making their games not suck, they sue anyone who dares to try. They have a handful of console exclusive that even interest me, everything else I'll get in Steam and it'll play better, have cloud save, and a refund policy.
I bought a NES in the 80s because it was the most amazing, magical thing. Now I'm at the point of 'Fuck Nintendo, let it fall'

"I did it. Nintendo is surely finished. This will definitely work."
I'm getting one on launch. Love my OG switch and got many cherished hours of gaming out of it.
lol, ok. /s
I won't. And not even due to the bad PR.
I never bought a Switch. Thought about it, but never got around to it. I guess I'm just not the target audience.
Though now in thinking about it, I bet I can pick up a good condition used Switch on the cheap once this comes out. Maybe I'll get the first gen Switch after all!
I bought a Switch back in the day. Beat BotW and that was fun. Barely touched it since.
Yeah, the price point would have to be low enough to be worth it for the few console specific titles that'd interest me.
First gen’s are hard to find cheap due to how easily exploited they are.
By first gen I meant not a switch 2. I'm not too particular about which version or revision.
And that's the only reason I'm even vaguely considering picking up a Switch 2 around launch.
That said, even with a gen 1 Switch, booting into the CFW is just enough of a pain that I don't do it often. Gotta grab the shim for the rail, plug it into something that can deliver the payload... ugh.
I miss the days of Wii and PSP homebrew. No online shit to get banned from, no special booting techniques. 3DS cfw came pretty close in terms of ease of use.
That said, being able to pirate games directly from the 3DS and Switch was a big step up from having to transfer files over to the memory card (PSP) or effectively needing a dedicated external HDD/partition (Wii). Even if it was slow as hell and couldn't use my full internet speed.
Don’t forget Vita. Thing was king of being opened up in my opinion.
