- If I migrate my Nintendo account from a switch 1 to a switch 2, does that mean all my digital games and online emulators are then locked to the switch 2?

- If I do that then want to play a physical game on my switch 1, is there any way to transfer saves between the two consoles?

- How are the mouse controls? Are they any good? I'm interested in trying them out on Metroid Prime 4, etc.

- How big of a difference are you finding on games with upgrades, like Tears of the Kingdom?

- I understand there will be a price increase in september. I also know there is a V2 switch 2 coming soon with removeable battery. Will there be a chance to buy the new version for $450 or will the price go up before it's out you think?

- I've been holding out for Elden Ring and Oblivion Remastered. Once those are out I plan to get the switch 2. What other games not available on switch 1 look good to you? I mostly play RPG, strategy RPG, Adventure and FPS. Metroid / Zelda / 90's Doom / Quake / Wizardry / Elder Scrolls / Dark Souls / Diablo 2 etc.

- Speaking of Diablo 2 does it have any new features VS switch 1? 8 player games? voice chat? higher res? anything?

- How's the gamecube emulation?

- Any suggestions for a controller with symmetrical joystick layout (playstation style) besides the 8bitdo pro 2? good gamepad but the joysticks rip up faster than any other brand I've tried, and I don't like the pro controller / xbox style joystick layout.

I may think of more later.

You don't "migrate" your account. You log in the same on both switch 1 and switch 2. Your games are accessible from either at the same time.

You can transfer saves using either the First boot transfer feature, or NSO cloud saves.

Mouse controls are fine. A bit uncomfortable, but you'll get used to it. 3rd party games that love having mice support already supports desktop mice.

No comment on that.

Nope. V2 will be after the price increase.

Kena, Elliot, Pragmata. Honestly, just any switch 2 exclusive port. Just check online.

No comment.

Pretty good. Its just a gamecube. Nothing else to expect there. Savestates are good though.

No Comment.

Switch 2 version 1 or version 2 ( easy battery change ) which one to go for in uk
The V2 isn't available yet and it'll certainly be more expensive so if you want a cheap NS2, get the one on Amazon for £355 (if you want new that is).

I personally want an edition with replaceable batteries and an OLED screen... I'll have to wait a few years.
 
no new version available in uk at this time.
checked few stores but all with old serial number starting with HAE
The kids cant wait so gone for the V1, dont think it will need a battery change while they play this out.

It doesn't, just make sure to set the tablet to 80% so it'll make it last longer.

Also, buy a case and tempered glass screen protector if it's used in handheld mode. Mine has both even though it's docked 99% of the time.
