I have plans on upgrading my hardware to the Switch 2 (日本語・国内専用), having two consoles is kind of annoying to manage: as I still have my Zelda OLED (ToTK) which is a “special edition” and I’ve changed the region on my alt account to Japan (my main account is Japanese) since I’ve already placed a pre-order for the Zelda 40th Anniversary Switch 2 (Console) for ¥64,607 (includes a screen protector and pre-order bonus) and the OoT Remake for ¥7,755 via Amazon.

When I eventually get my hands on the Switch 2: is it worth keeping the “old” Zelda OLED or sell it right away? The thing is that, as of now: that variant of the console is still available but there’ll be a time it may become rare as they’ll eventually stop making them. By then, would it carry any sentimental value? I’m conflicted whether I should sell it when upgrading my hardware or keep the old Switch in the case it’ll be deemed an antique and possibly a collector’s item.

    I say sell. 95% of the time, if you have to ask, you won’t need it; use that cash for something else, and let someone else use your Switch.

    One caveat: my sibling’s Switch 2 broke soon after buying (WiFi just died), and they had to wait a bit for an exchange. My impression is the Switch 2 has some QC issues.

    So maybe keep the Switch 1 a bit, as a backup in case your 2 is a dud.
