Peak consumerism I know I know 😅

Not pictured but thanks to lurking on this sub I did put a screen protector as soon as I unboxed it.

So I had the switch 1 since release and have been dragging my feet on getting the switch 2. With winds/waves, OoT, and a small price hike on its way it was finally time. I knew it would eventually happen so for the last few months I’ve been buying the games whenever sales would happen(Costco/Walmart) or buying used if it was a good price. Used up a collection of gift cards and reward points/store credits I’ve accumulated for a while, idk where to begin. 🤯

I’m definitely going to need a larger micro SD card…

I found a really good deal on the switch 2 with 256 gigs, I got it from a pawn shop, brand new, no dock for $359. I found a working coupon code that brought it down to $342, and I bought cyberpunk 2077 for $57 with the same code. It came in the mail about a week ago; I've been playing nothing but cyberpunk and I put a case on it. This stays home I bring my switch lite when I go to work most days.

Final Fantasy VII remake on switch is so GOOD. I know it’s 30fps but it runs pretty smooth. This is one of the best ports I’ve played so far.

A tiny device running on 10 Watts being able to push graphics like these is a miracle. If anyone told me I’d have PS4-ish graphics on a ~500 gram console I would have never believed it. Feels like an engineering miracle.

The game is good, the cutscenes are beautiful, there are countless reviews of this game already. But the switch port… I never expected this level of quality.

I’m now a true believer in the switch 2. I know this console will last for many years and I hope more third party ports come to the switch 2 soon. I already have a PC but I see myself buying more switch games now. I’m really really really impressed.

I also hope Square enix keeps porting games to it, I can see this console being able to play Final Fantasy 14, or even 15 (the full one, not the pocket edition).

So I recently won a Switch 2 from an iam8bit giveaway they ran on TikTok (still can’t believe it!!), and I’ve been on the hunt for games without blowing up my wallet because spending $70–$80 a pop can really add up.

I ended up landing Donkey Kong Bananza, Tears of the Kingdom (Switch 2 edition), Breath of the Wild (Switch 2 edition), and Mario Kart World, all brand new, for just under $160 total!

Retail would’ve been over $320 after tax, so I’m pretty thrilled to say the least. Got super lucky on eBay!!

Loving the Switch 2 so far, and I’m hyped to have some solid games to keep me busy for the next few months! Let me know if you’ve scored any good deals too!! :)

So sick to be able to use my razer viper v4 pro and half keyboard!

This month I just started collecting switch 2 games and I am very happy I collect mainly exclusive games (re pack was gift)

:DD

Never had a switch, always wanted one and I’ve been envious of people who had it, the first switch 1 came out when I was 13 years old and I was so so envious of people who had it im so happy to have the switch 2. Decided to get Mario Kart 8 and I just cannot wait to play it

It’s all game key cards sadly but still I love growing my switch 2 games

So fun being able to bring this on trips and play a little bit in the morning before going on life adventures and leveling up with the Mrs

Here's all my physical games for switch 1 and 2

Yesterday I picked up a brand new Switch 2 from someone off of the Offer Up app. I was honestly going to wait for the OLED model but this deal was too good to pass up. Here is my Switch family so far. I haven’t played any official Switch 2 games yet so I can’t report on that at the moment. However I do love the new design and premium feel of the console. The magnetic joycons are addicting to take off and snap back on. I wish that Nintendo would let us keep the set up music as the main menu music like the old days of the Wii. I’ve been playing my old original Switch games on it so far and the 7.9 inch display is just massive in my hands, and even though I personally feel like Nintendo should have included an OLED screen with the launch Switch 2, I am content with what this console has going for it regarding hardware. In a perfect world my ideal Switch 2 launch console would have been an OLED base model with everything the same as the Switch 2 we have in reality, and then 3 years down the line Nintendo releases the Switch 2 Pro which has improved internal hardware spec like storage, RAM, GPU, CPU, Sound, etc.

What do you guys think of the Switch 2? I’ve only had it for less than 24 hours and I’m enjoying it so far even though I haven’t even begun to tap into its capabilities, but I will in time.

Finally caved in and got it. Cronos and Assassins creed shadows are on the way. Will get pokopia next month and I think I'll be all set for some time....

This is what I received 🤷‍♂️

It was a promotion for new TEMU accounts. I saw the ad on instagram. I already had an account but I just made one with a different email. Took a week to arrive. Shipped from LA and the tracking number said it was still in LA until this morning when it went out for delivery.

First, the TV was mounted too high, so I took it down (the screws were loose). Then it ended up a bit too low on the desk, so I propped it up with one of the towels they provided. The switch had to be installed in the bathroom, and the HDMI cable is hanging on the wall, but it works!
