I'm the complete opposite. I only play in docked mode. I originally had a Switch Lite but ended up getting the proper Switch because I wanted to play docked instead.

I'm the same, loved playing Zelda TOTK on the big screen with surround sound. I've tried handheld mode and it's okay on the small screen but my hatred for the joycons makes it a non starter.
I started off using the dock all the time but moved to mostly handheld halfway through the life of the console. I have a Steam Deck now so any Switch 2 will probably just be for the Nintendo games. It'd hopefully look a bit nicer on a modern 4K TV so I could see using the dock again for the new one.
I've got mine pre-ordered, can't wait.
Physical usually is cheaper than digital. Have my copy pre-ordered ... I always go with a physical copy for 1st party Nintendo games.
After years of Switch only gaming I moved over to the steam deck and have spent the last 2-3 years working through my Steam backlog with 1 break for TOTK which was superb. The last game I bought/played before TOTK was Metroid Dread so I have spent an enjoyable evening building a list of all the games I need to catch up on.
It is going to cost me a fair bit

Yeah I'm all about the docked-mode as well! Keen to see what they'll do with the Switch 2

Mines out for delivery, due 3pm.
So far the game is so much fun. So many ways to do things when you collect more echoes you can start to try different ways of beating puzzles or enemies.
Only played for an hour but loving it so far. Got an extra heart already, I'll soon be maxed out and unstoppable

The new Princess Zelda game arrived here with the Amazon driver at ~2045 and is keeping my better half happily distracted while she recovers from her Monday op... She even got up before me to slowly retrieve the Switch from the dock in the lounge!

I'm off to Dubai for 3 weeks from Tuesday so the switch has been charged and dusted off. I've not really followed switch news too much but I fancy treating myself to a new game. I love soulslikes, 1st and 3rd person shooters and want something not available on ps5 or xbox - any suggestions??
