Curious to see what they do with the “mouse” function, as well as how well the new Joycon attachment system works (as well as if they have Hall Effect sensors…)

And what are we supposed to do with our Switch now? I know it’s been out for a while, but my growing resentment for the linear economy is giving me huge console generation cycle fatigue.

Keep using it. You don’t need the 2 unless you have a desperate need for a Switch 2 exclusive (or maybe want to run some of the games that the OG Switch couldn’t really handle so great).

With my PC-based gaming offerings, I probably won’t even be tempted until they announce a Switch 2 OLED or whatever.

For anyone else who was unfamiliar:

Linear economy is a system in which people buy a product, use it, and then throw it away. The term linear refers to the straight progression that a product can follow, with a beginning, a middle and an end. There is no thought along the line regarding recycling or reuse. (per https://www.eib.org/en/stories/linear-economy-recycling#%3A~%3Atext=Linear+economy+is+a+system%2Cline+regarding+recycling+or+reuse.)

Usually, when it comes to these kinds of upgrades, I either do one of two things. If the two consoles can play together, I usually will keep the second. With Nintendo consoles, I will keep one and sit on it (usually until the next generation) and then mod it.

Or alternatively I’ll once in a blue moon, sell it to someone else for a fair price. It can help offset the cost of the new thing, and you know that your old device is still going to get used by someone else who can appreciate it.
