If you've been patiently waiting for the right moment to pull the trigger on the Nintendo Switch 2 after the recent release of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, this might be a good time to do so. Woot is selling a Nintendo Switch 2 for $469 (originally $499). The discount comes as the first major discount since the Sept. 1 price hike.
The new console is an upgrade in every way, as you can read in our full review of the Nintendo Switch 2. The ergonomics and design have improved, making it much better to hold and look at. The battery life has also improved, now with about 180 minutes of handheld playtime before the juice runs out.
A big plus is that the Switch 2 is backwards-compatible: You can play your old Switch games on it. Some Switch games have the ability to upgrade to the Switch 2 Edition by buying that game's upgrade pack. This is especially worth it for games like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, which will look better on the Switch 2.
There are a lot more games out for the Switch 2 now than there were at the beginning of the year. Nintendo has hinted that they're prioritizing making more classic remakes, with many more on the pipeline, so there are plenty of games to keep you busy for a while, like Donkey Kong Bananza, Kirby Air Riders, and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, which are already out.
