Get an old retro game console, or a mini handheld . Will do for most games

I dunno. I bought a PC Engine in 2017. Was that too late? How will I ever play my games since it's so out of date?!? /s

My rule for modern consoles is to wait at least two years.
But then I did that for the 3DS and one month later the new 3DS was announced.  :mad:

But still, if there are games you want to play now and know you'll get playtime out of, then it's never too late. I got mine last year and have put hundreds of hours into it spaced throughout a handful of games. Even if they had announced a new model earlier this year I still would've gotten my money's worth.

You getting the Super SD System 3?

Nah, still too expensive. Much less than buying the few more games I still want for the PCE though.


I will also add that the mid-end life of a console is the BEST time to buy it. The PS3 and 360 are amazing to collect for right now, not as good as a couple years ago when stores were clearing out PS3/360 games though and you could get new games for under $10.

I would also expect the next gen Nintendo console to support Switch games. Xcompat is a trend you will see in this upcoming hardware gen. Sony, from what my spiders tell me, will just be xcompat w/ PS4 but will focus on bringing older titles through digital means.

The next Xbox I would fully expect to be xcompat w/ all previous Xbox gens. In fact I think they even announced that somewhere.

So it stands to reason Nintendo will follow suit (unless they surprise everyone and go w/ a digital-only console, which is very unlikely)

I think it'll be a while before the Switch Pro (or whatever it'll be called) will be released, and they have just released the revised Switch with the improved battery life and such, so I think now is a good time to buy one. I wouldn't buy the lite due to its lack of HDMI output, but it's probably not an issue for those looking for an exclusively mobile single-player console.

Yes get a Switch.  No it's not too late, or early, or whatever you're thinking.  Just do it.  >:D
