*** The Official Nintendo Switch 2 ***

Whilst I'm sure they'd never do it, I reckon there would be a fairly decent market for a Switch 2 Lite 'Reverse' which had no screen / no portability if it was £75/£100 cheaper.

Even though I convinced myself I'd probably play my OLED Switch undocked loads more than my original because it had a bigger and better screen, it has also spent the overwhelming majority of it's life in the dock.

I'd probably still get the standard Switch 2, but my OG also spent most of its time docked ... particularly during the pandemic when it wasn't possible to travel.

Loved the first one. Kids broke it a few months ago rather than buy another Switch thought I'd wait for the Switch 2. Never use it mobile so for all I care it could have no screen.

That makes sense but for those with a working switch I really can't see why anyone wants to fight the scalpers in what will inevitably be a feeding frenzy.

I think there would definitely be a market for it, but I can't see them doing it! I'd be tempted to buy one as a second console if it was significantly cheaper ours spends most of it's time docked but having two kids having an option for when they want to play different games would be nice. The screen on current Switch Lite is so disappointing after the OLED version that I can't do it!

Well no, but we haven't seen any of the games lineup yet.

If they rock up with new Mario, new Mario Kart, new Zelda, new Metroid, etc. etc. people will be tripping over themselves to play games like that.

If it arrived with Switch Sports 2 and nothing else, no one will be buying them.

I think it'll be fairly easy to purchase them. I really don't think scalping will be an issue and stock will be fine.

Very true, a new Mario Kart is overdue as we are still playing essentially the Wii U version from donkeys ago (still an amazing game though!) I've been surprised a few of the recent switch releases weren't held back for the switch 2
 
Are people looking to get this as a day one purchase or are you awaiting a game launch list prior to parting with cash?
 
You won’t be able to pre order until the launch titles are announced anyway so it’s a bit of a moot point.

No games have been announced yet so it’s not like we have anything to look forward to either.
 
My money is on a mainline 3D Mario a la Odyssey 2 or similar. It’s too soon for another brand new Zelda unless it’s a remake. A new Mario Kart would be huge as well.

Sounds more like a basic 'register interest' process (they're even calling it that) than an actual pre-order, no guarantees provided that you'll actually get one

Yes, but as soon as it goes live for pre-order they automatically take the balance and you've got your pre-order
It's not officially pre-ordering because they're not allowed to, but at the same time, it is pre-ordering

Mario Kart 8 super mega deluxe 60fps HD remaster AI edition. £80

Be careful what you ask for from Nintendo :p

I think they have milked Mario Kart 8 enough now!

Like others I'm sure there will be at least one probably 2/3 big exclusives on launch day to tempt people to part with there cash, they will want to do some big numbers on launch to sustain the Switch jugernaut!
 
I will be holding off until they release the superior OLED version (assuming it happens at all) unless there is a main line Mario or Zelda (that bares no resemblance to the last two) then I'll get it and use it docked.

I will be holding off as long as I can stand my kids begging once one of their friends gets one!
