Which would you rather have? (Nintendo\/Sony)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A reader explains why he hasn\u2019t bought a Nintendo<\/a> console since the N64 days and why it\u2019s the Switch 2<\/a> that is going to pull him back in, despite its controversies.<\/p>\n

We’ve predictably had an influx of negative views on Nintendo’s pricing policy<\/a> so, for balance, I feel compelled to write about why I\u2019m excited for Switch 2. Therefore, to the three people about to read a positive article, allow me to share my thoughts. Note to GC, we’re going to need a hyperbolic headline to attract some traffic!<\/p>\n

Before I commence my convincing argument, I have a disclaimer. I haven\u2019t purchased a Nintendo console since the N64. That\u2019s right, I was one of those fools paying \u00a370 for cartridges back in the \u201890s. Here we go, pull up a sandbag, you don’t know you’re born rhetoric.<\/p>\n

Technically speaking, the Wii is the last Nintendo console I bought, as a gift for the in-laws – which they still use to this day. Saying they still use it is like Trigger\u2019s broom from Only Fools and Horses<\/a>. They had to replace the console and Wii-motes several times! But I still take the win when it comes to the mother-in-law.<\/p>\n

Over the years, I have almost pulled the trigger on a Nintendo console several times. For what seems like years, I was waiting on the infamous Switch Pro console that never materialised. I can already see the comment, \u2018Switch 2 is a Switch Pro, so there!\u2019<\/p>\n

Anyhow, I shall reap the rewards of my inexcusable patience. I will be the equivalent of a PlayStation 5 owner that hasn\u2019t played The Last Of Us, The Last Of Us Remastered, The Last Of Us Remastered-Remastered and The Last Of Us Part 1. I\u2019m the guy who is essentially purchasing the upcoming The Last Of Us special edition and experiencing it for the first time. I envy that person!<\/p>\n

Therefore, I\u2019m in no position to discuss prices since I’ve bought The Last Of Us 15 times. Somewhat ironically, it’s the PS5 Pro which has assisted my decision to buy a Switch 2. Again, how could I possibly complain about prices! Buyer’s remorse is an understatement.<\/p>\n

No, it’s the diminishing returns which have helped persuade me. Having to watch John Linneman of Digital Foundry point out the differences zoomed in at 400% is never a good sign. It’s a sad state of affairs when even the tech nerds are disappointed. I digress. The proof is in the pudding.<\/p>\n
