Well really, the question is "What does this handheld console actually play?"

Deck: anything you want within hardware reason Switch: Nintendo roms (they apparently don't even ship hardware carts now I guess?)

Huh? Go to any Walmart and you'll see loads of physical copies. Switch 2 is even confirmed to use them.

I guess I would consider a switch 2 after they have a few great first party games.

  • Mario Kart
  • 3d Mario
  • 2d Mario
  • big Zelda game
  • Pokémon game that isn’t terrible and overly easy.
  • 3d Metroid
  • 2d Metroid

I would need a decent number of these items to be on the system before I considered it.
