      You’re in luck then, because it should be much easier (and cheaper!) to get a Switch now that scalpers will be focusing on the 2.

      If you’re fine with using the previous generation, there will be plenty of available for cheaper soon.
      And although the switch 2 is backward compatible, the current generation already has a full library of games.

        Yeah, but the Switch 2 has significantly better hardware that will presumably remedy some of the performance issues on those games. I’d rather pay a bit more for something that will last long, I haven’t had a console since the Wii

          Yeah, I don’t think that’s gonna happen. The Switch OLED is already more powerful than the Switch but Nintendo artificially limits the performance because… reasons.

          I would not be sure that Switch 2 will improve the performance of Switch games. Nintendo has shown that they care about perfect backwards compatibility (putting last gen chips into systems, allegedly testing the hell out of their emulators whenever they add a ROM to Switch Online). I could see the Switch 2 being limited to Switch 1 performance when in backwards compatibility mode to remove the risk of breaking some badly coded game.
