I never played Galaxy 2. I liked the first, but I actually preferred Sunshine. Galaxy just seemed smaller to me. I liked that it was different, and maybe part 2 would’ve improved on the engine, but I just thought the first was almost like a gimmick.
Sunshine was gimmicky too, but it felt more complete overall. But yeah, not sure 1+2 is worth $70. I get that Microsoft and Sony have other things to fall back on, but Nintendo is asking too much this time for 15-18 year old games. $50 is more like it.
From what I’ve read, it will have the new AMD Ryzen Z2 chipset which could lead to better battery life, also… better grips, impulse triggers, and slightly better RAM.
I have owned every Nintendo console, but skipped on the first Switch because I was a bit upset with how they treated the Wii U. I get why they let it go so early – lower sales numbers – but was still disappointed. I’m a gamer. I had Xbox, PlayStation, and PC to play with… so I wasn’t worried about lack of games.
I was thinking about getting the OLED Switch when that model came out, but figured I waited this long, might as well wait a bit longer for the next system. Glad I did because with the Switch 2, I now have a back catalog of games to pick from instead of the small amount of launch titles… with faster speeds and visual enhancements.
Not sure if original Switch owners need to buy the 2 right away, however. They could probably wait a year or so when more titles come out.
I’m lucky enough to own literally thousands of games. Most of which I get at a deep discount. Games like GTA and Red Dead are usually an exception where I’ll play on day one. Even though Rockstar tends to milk a title long after a release, the attention to detail is worth the price to me. I’ll still check reviews first however.
Well, with the system bundle it was only going to be $50 more. No way I was gonna pay $80 for it. With the stupid tariffs, who knows what’s gonna happen?
