That said, there are a few reasons why you may not want to buy a Nintendo Switch, at least not in 2023. The main reason is that we’re further removed from the release of the Switch than that console was from its predecessor. It stands to reason that Nintendo has a new or updated version of the Switch in development, never mind a full-on next-generation console.
Nintendo has confirmed they will definitely not release any new Switch console in this fiscal year — meaning until at least March 2024. Unless Nintendo surprise drops a new console on short notice, we likely won’t see a new console for a while, so you’re still safe buying a Switch this year.
However, there is another reason not to buy a new Switch, even after an eventual Nintendo Switch 2 is announced. Back in 2017, the Switch and its handheld mode were novel — but in 2023 we have the Steam Deck, other portable PC competitors, and even PlayStation is getting a handheld console. These allow gamers access to the latest AAA games portably, and in the case of consoles like Steam Deck, you also have access to countless emulators to play classic games.
Buying a Nintendo Switch in 2023 really depends on whether you are looking to play Nintendo games or not. If “Zelda” and Elephant Mario are higher priorities to you, then there’s no doubt the Switch is a console worth buying.
