Dakimakura 10/14/25 5:00:24 PM #1:	I been thinking about getting a Switch 2 a lot lately but the two biggest deterrents is my lack of time to play and the fact that it would make my perfectly fine Switch just completely useless. Like I have no clue what to do with this thing if I get a new Switch. Is it just supposed to sit there forever collecting dust? Seems like such a massive waste of an amazing system that still runs perfectly fine. --- Gamefaqs Community Organizer <cite>Dakimakura posted [p:986725079] in What do yo...

TMOG 10/16/25 9:09:41 AM #16:	I still have my launch Switch and my OLED after getting a Switch 2. The OLED is mainly used for watching Hulu in bed these days (the app doesn't work on the 2 for some reason), but keeping both will probably be useful at some point if I want to do multiplayer with people via Game Share. --- Check out my daily Pokemon drawings https://bsky.app/profile/runomai.bsky.social <cite>TMOG posted [p:986740459] in What do yo...
