I know that it has a shorter battery life than the OLED plus the Switch 2 doesn’t even have an OLED screen by default. Also, the library of games exclusive to the Switch 2 isn’t much (they do have CP 2077, HW: AoI, DK: Bananza, MKW) & paid upgrades for both BoTW & TotK. Do you consider the Switch 2 worth it when you factor in shorter battery life, paid upgrades, 2 microSD card tiers (normal & express), expensive accessories & etc?

    Define worth it for you.

    The hardware is a great upgrade. And I don’t mean the insides, that seems fine. I mean the changed joycon slotting, the build quality, the stand.

    I’d never go back to the first one in general. But. The EX SD cards are still expensive, sizes I’d need are not there and especially if most things are key cards you’d need more storage!

    So being a nerd I still have (multiple of) switch 1, not replaced by switch 2. But I find both good, the rails on 1 suck (because of plastic blocker on the joycon thst wears off), both still have non echo thumbsticks so go for 8bitdo controllers but in general the switch 2 is a nice upgrade.

    So if you want a switch go for the 2 imo.

    Oh but the best Mario kart is 8 and it will likely stay that way.

    A) hard to beat perfect B) intermediate routes…

        First off no, it’s not proprietary. Express SD cards are finally a speedy standard. But since they’re new they’re not available in many sizes and also expensive.

        Nintendo explicitly states that for the switch 2, microSD EX(PRESS) is required. Otherwise I’d have assumed that it’s only required for switch 2 games, but they’re always required it seems
