Honestly, I’ll still get a Switch 2 for the first party games, but there’s no way in hell I’ll buy a third party game for it if I can add the game to my Steam library. Steam Deck + living room “console” PC is pretty perfect if you know what you’re doing.
I’m going to wait for reviews though on the games themselves, but pick up the console at release, and probably Mario Kart and Metroid.
I know the console is going to last me half a decade at least, and I have a kiddo who’s going to age into those first party games very quickly. Mario, DK, Kirby, Zelda.
For the switch 1, I have about 15-20 Switch exclusive games, which I’ve spent hundreds of hours on. To me, most of those gaming experiences are worth a $80/90 price point in today’s dollars given inflation, and by buying physical I can quickly sell the ones I don’t like (looking at you hyrule warriors).
It seems like heavy price tag at first glance, but in reality I think it’s quite reasonable over the lifetime of the console.

You are gonna spend over $700 for a few first party games?
I’m just asking cause that’s the cost, $500 console plus extra controller plus the games quickly blooms into nearly a $1000 purchase for a few games.
I just can’t justify spending $250 per game I would play on it currently.
Yes, if they’re quality games.
