This and Zelda were the highlights of the Direct for me.
*** Nintendo Switch ***

Unless you find a used one for about £100, I'd skip and wait for Switch 2.
I bought one a month or two ago and love it. Just so many exclusives from series I've never played before but I guess it depends on which games you want.
Still holds up and great titles but agree with the above. Nintendo stuff rarely tanks in price which helps with initial outlay
I sold mine a few years ago but bought another one for about £100 specifically for Tears of the Kingdom. Rumours still say early 2025 for Switch 2 so I've been happy catching up with the Switch library. No Steam Deck/handheld PC for me so it's nice having a portable console again.

I've got a switch but would likely wait if I was to buy one now. Depends on if you think you can wait or not

I've dusted off the old 3DS and picked up Zelda Ocarina of Time (never played it before). See if I have as much time as I hope to have for it before plugging for a Switch.

I'd grab one, you wont regret it 
I think this was a smart move. The Switch isn't going anywhere any time soon, you've got plenty of time to get a new or used one if you feel like it down the road. Likewise you don't have to get a Switch 2 on day 1. If and when you do you've got a large library to catch up on if you have the time.
Hope you do get time to enjoy it as there are definitely some great games ahead across the two consoles.
Switch is still gathering dust, but that Donkey Kong Country HD game may be the one that gets me playing again. DK games have such nostalgia for me. Nintendo rinsing me over the same games, again and again 
Definitely getting the rage part, don't think I can't be bothered with this sort of challenge nowadays so will move it on. I know it'll just sit there forever untouched otherwise.
I’ve got a trip coming up and could have done with my switch I sold a couple years back.
Really thought these would be cheaper knowing a new one is around the corner.
I’ll never forget walking into rumbelows seeing an Atari lynx 2 on sale for £25 lol. Mate bought it the week Before for 105.

I probably had just under ten switches over the years. Would want to play a game, then sell it as nothing to play, rinse and repeat.
Look forward to the next one unless they do a Nintendo and release something woefully underpowered and without an OLED screen.

Or something completely different, and go back to non portable! Would be a firm no from me if the next Nintendo console isn't a portable
Not sure how I'd feel about that tbh. I mean I rarely ever used it docked but that was partly as it looked so bad on my TV. I doubt they'd do that now.

I used mine docked for 95% of the time but I appreciated it when I didn't. The question is, how much would I sacrifice on the portability front for something with good performance.
