My biggest fear with the Switch is the drift, man, I really don't want to buy a 250/400/600$ console (those are the prices for Lite/Switch/OLED on my country) if my controllers will start drifting, I don't know if Nintendo has done anything to fix that problem though.
Have you played Bayonetta or Astral Chain? they're very good games and I would buy a Switch just for Bayo3, Mario Odyssey, Astral Chain, Metroid Dread, and of course BotW2.
Plus, how was your experience with that "old" Switch of yours? I'm curious.
It's expensive here as well and the joycon drift really worried me, but my old Switch never ended up developing that issue - I was really careful though. At least there I could buy another joycon or fix it myself as it was a lot easier, not so much on the Switch lite.
I've played the original Bayonetta on PC, it's an awesome game, I'll get around to playing Bayo2 and 3 eventually, even if on an emulator.
Astral Chain looks like it kicks ass and I'm really interested, so we'll see.
I played through Mario Odyssey on my old Switch and that game was a highlight for what the system could do and brought me back to the Wii days, when Nintendo made some awesome games.
The old Switch was one of the best consoles I've owned, I played Animal Crossing for a year straight on that thing and it never disappointed me. No joycon drift, just pure fun, so many hours on multiplayer too.
What ultimately made me sell it was what Nintendo was doing, the prices and because my console was a v2 Mariko, so no easy modding.
I played Bayo2 on Wii U and MAN, that game rules, Bayo1 is good, but Bayo2 is next level imo.
I've been thinking on buying a Lite for Mario, Zelda, Metroid and NieR, and then sell it again, but my priority is a better PC so I'll focus on that for now haha.
It's so sad that the Switch can't be easy to mod, on Wii U you can do awesome stuff and it's a retro-machine, the Switch would be more or less the same, or even better because of the portability.
I'm legit thinking of getting a Wii U in the future. It's a console I've always wanted to own but didn't have the money back then.
I'm sure eventually the Switch will be cracked wide open and all models will be moddable like what happened to the 3DS, but for now, we wait
I love my Wii U ngl, it's a very good console if you don't mind the lack of third party games, I've heard some ports aren't the best, like Assassin´s Creed 3/4, but when you mod it... it's awesome, I recommend it.
Yes, it's a matter of time imo, Switch will fall, eventually.
