How is everyone liking the Switch 2 now that it's been out for at least six months?
I'm still waiting to see if they're going to make enough games for it before I get one. Plus, I want to see if Hogwarts Legacy II is going to be released for the Switch 2 when that game comes out.

I don't know if it'll be this year when I get one or not. If I do, it'll be my birthday (in July) or it'll be Christmas.
I hope to get one eventually.....I just don't know when.

Ff7 Remake Switch 2 version is getting a lot of 9s and 8s and reviewers called it an impressive technical achievement on the Switch 2. Showing the 3d graphics capabilities of the Switch 2 Nice!
Nintendoduo :
"Square Enix has achieved what once seemed impossible: bringing the full Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade experience to a portable console without sacrificing what truly matters. It is the most visually impressive game on Switch 2 and an unforgettable gateway to one of the most acclaimed RPGs of the last decade."
TheSixthAxis
"The Nintendo Switch 2 version of Final Fantasy VII Remake Integrade arrives in stunning form, with very few compromises made bringing it across to Nintendo’s newest hardware. It’s an essential purchase for RPG fans who haven’t had the chance to play this reimagined saga."
Noisy pixel:
Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade arrives on Switch 2 as a technically impressive and emotionally rich reimagining of Midgar, blending fast-paced combat with a thoughtful narrative expansion. The port runs exceptionally well on Nintendo’s new hardware, maintaining its cinematic presentation and smooth performance.
Digital Chumps
If FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE INTERGRADE is a proof of concept in stress testing the Switch 2’s processing power, consider it passing with flying colors. It’s the same incredible FFVII remake that’s been available on multiple platforms since its original release in 2020.

Nice, but I think I'm going to get the PC version.
You already bought the ps5 version too of remake and rebirth right? You could play those version first before the pc version. The ps5 version is great too.
Read from nintendolife:
The Switch 2 ended 2025 with a total of 4.4 million units sold in the US.
This means that after its seventh month on the market, Nintendo's new system is still the fastest-selling home console in US history. Piscatella noted afterwards that the Game Boy Advance is the overall winner in terms of units sold.
Nevertheless, this means that the Switch 2's install base is nearly double that of its predecessor after the same amount of time. It's also roughly 35% ahead of the PS4 over the same amount of time, which was remarkably popular when it launched back in 2013.

Probably because the Switch 2 came so much later than the Switch in terms of releases.
It will. They ported the first game to switch despite the switch's limitation. The Switch 2 is a much more powerful gaming hardware. and they want the extra sales lol like many other third party game devs and publishers that port their games to switch2. the new upcoming fable dev also considering switch 2 version of their game. Switch 2 is hot lol

PS4 version of remake, as I had plan to hack it with save wizard but at this point I'll sell those copies as my time is limited these days and will only have time to play once.
To the topic, I put a bug in my dnd's group ears about coming together to buy us a Switch 2, hoping it happens.

Haters will never get up hating.
I never got to the point of joining a hate sub, but I guess that means I’m not as terminally online as I think I am.
Read from nintendolife:
The rising demand for RAM for AI data centres and the associated rising costs are having a massive effect across the tech world, and with Sony reportedly pushing back the launch of its as-yet-unannounced PS5 successor, Nintendo is considering raising the price of Switch 2 in 2026, too, according to a new Bloomberg report.
"Close rival Nintendo Co., which contributed to the surplus demand in 2025 after its new Switch 2 console drove storage card purchases, is also contemplating raising the price of that device in 2026, people familiar with its plans said. Sony and Nintendo representatives didn’t respond to requests for comment."
Earlier in the year, Niko Partners predicted that Nintendo would be forced to follow suit and raise hardware prices as its competitors have.
Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa was asked about the possibility of a price increase in an interview with Kyoto Shimbun back in January, but refused to be drawn on plans at the time, saying "I cannot comment on hypotheticals".
With most tech firms reliant on memory and microchips produced by other companies, this precarious situation around RAM manufacturing has been a concern for some time now, with the crisis growing as AI-invested firms such as Meta, Microsoft, and Google's parent company, Alphabet, purchase DRAM for data centres to drive chatbots and other AI-powered applications. Prices have been driven up at an alarming rate as demand outstrips component availability, with Bloomberg stating that the "cost of one type of DRAM soared 75% from December to January" alone.
Consequently, tech firms must choose between slimmer profit margins or raising prices in an already-fraught economic environment. The Switch 2's launch pricing and Mario Kart World's $80 price tag proved controversial with gamers in June last year, and Nintendo raised the price of all its Switch 1 hardware in the US last summer. Sony and Microsoft both raised their hardware prices recently, with PlayStation getting a $50 hike on all PS5 models in the US last August.
Nintendo may have gotten its latest console to market ahead of full-scale "RAMmageddon", but it still has to keep the ball rolling and keep up production numbers.
