Fight the FOMO: Odds are you don’t need a Nintendo Switch 2 right now

So, busy week in the world of video games, huh? The Nintendo Switch 2 has finally launched and landed in the hands of gamers around the world, eight years after the first Switch revolutionized gaming. The Switch 2 isn’t quite as revolutionary, with Nintendo opting to make an upgrade of its predecessor rather than completely overhaul what might end up being the best-selling console ever. Still, that isn’t stopping plenty of OG Switch owners from wanting to get their sweaty palms on the latest shiny new toy (raises hand).

But do we need it right now? Probably not.

It’s easy to get swept up in the hype surrounding a new console launch and everything that comes with it. Walmart sent snacks with some Switch 2s! Everyone’s playing as Cow in Mario Kart World!
