    to be fair, people were VERY excited about those two new games. I can see how someone can talk themselves into splurging for it, especially if the Switch is their only handheld. Prices of consoles seem to be going UP over time instead of down, so if you think you’ll want one when there are more games, it’s actually more frugal to buy NOW before chip shortages and tariffs drive the price up even higher.

      This is me. In my country it cost a lot more to buy here so i imported mine. I just wanted a new Mario kart but the new one kind of suck and donkey kong is… Well it is a game but not very interesting after the novelty has worn off. I play more on my steam deck and kind of regret the buy of a switch 2. Got a huge backlog of switch 1 games too but I never get to the TV to play, too much focus on the computer.

      The only Switch 2 game I even have right now is Deltarune. But I know I’m buying Kirby Air Riders, and I figured it’d be best to make sure I get the console right away in case tariffs fuck anything up by then.
