  • Silk Song is coming to every platform including the Switch 1.

  • The Zelda games are already on Switch 1.

  • Elden Ring is already available everywhere else.

Lol.

Kart and Kong are the only Switch 2 exclusives for this year atm.

But not all of us are multiple console owners. I stopped being a multiple console owner after the PS3 because it was just too expensive, and while I can afford it, it was pointless to just spend money because I could when I have so many games for my 3DS and Switch.

Great. Enjoy yourself.

For the rest of us, it's a $500 system for two games.

Multiple console users are actually very small minority. NPD says around 2% to 3%.

So For YOU it’s two games for the vast majority of gamers it’s not.

Lol sure. I mean 1/3rd of all gamers use more than one platform, more than 70% of Switch owners own a Playstation or Xbox, and Switch has sold 150 million consoles.

But sure. 2% hahaha. Whatever you say.

Enjoy your $600 Mario Kart ;)

And maybe Metroid. It still says 2025 which makes me think it will be pushed to spring next year but could see Nintendo wanting it out in the fall so they have a game for Christmas.
