    I won’t. And not even due to the bad PR.

    I never bought a Switch. Thought about it, but never got around to it. I guess I’m just not the target audience.

    Though now in thinking about it, I bet I can pick up a good condition used Switch on the cheap once this comes out. Maybe I’ll get the first gen Switch after all!

        Yeah, the price point would have to be low enough to be worth it for the few console specific titles that’d interest me.

        And that’s the only reason I’m even vaguely considering picking up a Switch 2 around launch.

        That said, even with a gen 1 Switch, booting into the CFW is just enough of a pain that I don’t do it often. Gotta grab the shim for the rail, plug it into something that can deliver the payload… ugh.

        I miss the days of Wii and PSP homebrew. No online shit to get banned from, no special booting techniques. 3DS cfw came pretty close in terms of ease of use.
