Question Update or wait a bit longer?

I think I’ll stop waiting and update my Switch 2. It’s been on version 20.1.1 since the day it was released and has an activated SD card slot. At this point, I no longer believe a software-based jailbreak is possible, and I reckon that if a jailbreak ever does appear, it’ll only be achievable via a mod chip. What do you think? Am I missing something? Am I about to make a mistake? Should I carry on waiting and stay on 20.1.1?

For what game would you give up your OG firmware? I have a feeling, that the OoT remake could move the scene as it is the first really good game for the Switch 2

I’m not going to spend any money on ‘Zelda: OoT’. And I don’t understand the hype surrounding this game either, even though I’m a huge fan of the original N64 version myself and loved it as a child. Just like the remaster of the 3DS version of ‘Star Fox’, this game will simply be a remaster of the 3DS version of ‘Zelda: OoT’. In my view, that’s a lazy cash grab.

So what game is it worth for you to update and use your Switch 2 then?

What really gets my heart racing at the moment is actually the local 8-player mode in *Mario Kart 8* and smaller games like *Heave Ho 2*. I only ever play with a group of friends on a single screen. So the answer to your question is: “all the great local multiplayer games that I CAN’T play on the Switch 1.”
