Sudden Switch 2
January 14, 2026

I recall that I was soundly against the idea of buying the Switch 2, and looking back I can see why. I'm not sure much has changed, except that it is everything we hoped the Switch would be at launch, and much more.

It's a performer: Everything feels smooth, games load quickly, I haven't noticed a single issue with OG Switch titles. They run better than they did on the Switch, and unless it's rose tinted googles, they look and sound better. They don't, naturally, but overall the Switch 2 is a superior experience. Yeah, it's a tad uncomfortable as a handheld in terms of size, but boy that's a nice lookin' screen.

But I'm not reviewing it. I decided we would make the jump after my wife agreed to the idea, which was her vote first, mine after hers. We traded in our Switch, a few games and got the Switch 2 for a bangin' good deal on Black Friday, including Memory Card and Mario Kart World. We also got Super Mario Party Jamboree for Christmas. We wouldn't have made the leap otherwise.

So I've got some new reviews on the way. Yeah, so, Happy New Year to y'all. I know things are a mess out there, but here's to taking care of the people we love.
