Or, get this - if you want a switch 2, buy a switch 2 if you can afford it.

WHY ARE WE YELLING?
THE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW THAT NINTENDO IS WORSE THAN IF POL POT AND MING THE MERCILESS STARTED A KISS TRIBUTE BAND WITH POL POT PLAYING THE SAXOPHONE.
WOULDN'T THAT KIND OF DEPEND ON WHAT MING THE MERCILESS WAS PLAYING? YOU GOTTA GET SOME STRINGS IN THERE TO BE A PROPER KISS TRIBUTE BAND, SO IF HE WHIPPED OUT AN ELECTRIC MANDOLIN OR SOMETHING, I MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN LISTENING TO WHAT THEY COME UP WITH. I'D EVEN TAKE A BANJO.
I'M NOT SUPPORTING EITHER PERSON (FAKE OR REAL) IN ANY WAY, JUST BEING HONEST.
WHY IS YOUR USERNAME YELLING?!
I wasn’t hugged enough as a child

I fucking hate all caps titles.
i fucking hate all caps
🧢 ?
Not all caps
I disabled my caps lock button, and my life got so much better.
What's the TLDW?
Loud person who makes their entire personality disliking Nintendo tells you not to buy Nintendo without highlighting any good reasons, just focusing on easy to hate on reasons.
are... are ''easy to hate reasons'' somehow inherently ''not good reasons''?
I wouldn’t say that no. But they are being used to whip people up into a fury effectively with out sharing all the facts. That’s why the video is ridiculously biased. Because if you came at it from a balanced perspective most people aren’t irrational. Nintendos actions while shit, all largely make sense.
This video has been doing the rounds but if I remember correctly they are overly negative and are obviously not the target for Nintendo and have no intention of buying the Switch even before all the controversy.

Nintendo bad, so don't support Nintendo.
That's about it. I didn't finish it either, but I heard the rant and figured I wasn't missing much by not finishing.

Wasn't going to, it's such a dumb purchase unless you have money lying around.
Completely agree. They burnt all their goodwill in the past few years. I have no interest in the company and the products.
That's exactly it. They burned all their goodwill seriously, and continue to do so.

Didn't plan to buy one, before the S2 was announced.
The number of anti consumer actions they take is amazing. They still hate YouTube. Instead of making their games not suck, they sue anyone who dares to try. They have a handful of console exclusive that even interest me, everything else I'll get in Steam and it'll play better, have cloud save, and a refund policy.
I bought a NES in the 80s because it was the most amazing, magical thing. Now I'm at the point of 'Fuck Nintendo, let it fall'

"I did it. Nintendo is surely finished. This will definitely work."
I haven't decided yet, because it's not available yet. Once it's available, I'll check reviews and whatnot to decide whether to purchase it. Maybe I will, maybe I won't, it depends on a bunch of factors.
Yeah, Nintendo sucks right in the legal department. But whether I buy their products has less to do with their legal department and more to do with the quality of the product.
Done. Can’t afford one anyways.
can afford, absolutely no buy
Stop posting this garbage to every community
I won't. And not even due to the bad PR.
I never bought a Switch. Thought about it, but never got around to it. I guess I'm just not the target audience.
Though now in thinking about it, I bet I can pick up a good condition used Switch on the cheap once this comes out. Maybe I'll get the first gen Switch after all!
I bought a Switch back in the day. Beat BotW and that was fun. Barely touched it since.

OK. Never bought anything from Nintendo, so that's not a great sacrifice.
I'm getting one on launch. Love my OG switch and got many cherished hours of gaming out of it.
They didn't even fix the annoying joystick issues.
I mean, my Switch works, and if Microsoft won't port the Xbox UI to Windows handhelds, then I'll buy a Steam Deck.
Me, not being a little baby man, am going to buy one at some point because I want to play the Zeldas and the Marios and no one is gonna keep me from enjoying those games when they come out—and I’m still gonna emulate on my Retroid ‘cause fuck Big Gaming.
Fuck big gaming but you'll still hand them money and emulate?
Yes
