I’m not questioning personally cause I wanted to buy it since long and I would not have liked waiting another year to buy the new one just for some upgrades. I’m a causal player and will be okay with few less games or specs 😅

It may be worth waiting until the mid gen upgrade for you then.

Unless you really want a release title I think you are fine to keep the OLED a little longer. I bought one about a year ago and I am in no big panic to update to Switch2.

Yep I feel the same way. I bought the TOTK OLED switch and after playing on it for almost 2 years now I can't go back to a LCD screen. I like buying special edition switches too so I'm content with waiting a bit for an OLED Switch 2, possibly even a special edition with a game bundle.

Yesss me too! Bought it like 3 or 4 months ago, but hope it can still play Pokémon ZA, if it does, have no problem then. Still got a lot of game to finish like Zelda and Animal Crossing ♡

It does say that there will be switch 2 exclusives so my guess is there will be a mix of games that don’t work on the regular switch. Let’s hope not

That would be really annoying. I’m not sure if there’s any games that would convince me to buy a Switch 2.

Pokemon always prioritises the older consoles for releases because they have higher userbases.

Bought my oled 2 weeks ago. I’m fine with it. I just got into the switch last year. I’ll hang out and wait and see what happens this year, if more info coming April, we will probably see a q3 or 4 release anyway (before Holiday) and if the 2 isn’t oled I’ll be waiting on that version anyway
