Time for A Switch... 2?

in Discovery-it3 months ago

Normally, when you think of console gaming the Xbox or Playstation come to mind. When you think of family-friendly games everyone can play, Nintendo is the first thing I think of. It's been ages since I've bought any sort of a gaming console, but the time has come.

We're now a Switch 2 family.

My brother-in-law and sister visited from out of state for Christmas and brought their original Switch with them. My two boys already love spending time with their aunt and uncle. When Mario Kart came out, it took hanging out to the next level for them.

The boys were sad to see them go. We were too, but it gave us an idea. We could get a Switch as well and the boys could set up game dates with them.

My youngest son just turned four, so we surprised them both with a Switch 2 as a combined birthday gift. They loved it. They've been chomping at the bit all week to play Mario Kart. I got it all set up through the surround sound system and the boys went to town racing each other.

The only thing left to do is figure out the best place to designate as the "charging station," since there aren't enough plugins by the TV to keep it all together. Oh well. First World problems, right? 😆

That is so cool that you are able to do that as a family. I used to play games with my oldest when he was real young and I had better coordination. A few months ago, the wife and my cousin tried to talk me into buying a gaming console to work on my cognitive and coordination challenges. The Switch is one of the consoles I looked at. I am still holding off as I am not sure I would play it all that much.

Yeah, I think if it's used as a family with multi-player games like Mario Kart or Mario Party it's a lot more fun. I'd look at the games first and see if the demos of others playing it looks like fun before committing.

Both my kids want their own Switch 2. I am holding out. They have Switch 1s and so my only reply to their begging right now is "save your money". I may give in at some point and buy a family Switch 2, but I can already picture the ownership fights that that could lead to, so I don't know.

Anyway, hope your kids enjoy that one!

It's harder to justify if they already have the original Switch. Having them save up is a smart move.
