Summary
The Switch 2, once seen as a solid but optional handheld, is now a surprisingly smart buy as gaming gear prices skyrocket. With its $50 price bump hitting $500 on September 1—and still cheaper than most PC handhelds or older consoles—it’s a steal. Despite mediocre battery life and a non-OLED screen, the Switch 2 delivers stellar graphics, multiplayer versatility, and a surprisingly strong library including Donkey Kong Bananza, Metroid Prime 4, and Pokémon Pokopia. Third-party hits like Resident Evil Requiem and Indiana Jones shine, plus you can finally play Cyberpunk 2077 and Madden on the go. Nintendo’s also slashed digital game prices and tossed in a free title—usually $70—with every console. If you’re waiting for the perfect handheld, now might be the last chance before prices climb even higher. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
