Do I play Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom on Switch 2 or should I wait for Switch 3?


With games no jumping from one generation of consoles to the next, when is the best time to play something? Is there ever a best time?

Similarly, I've been playing Avowed on Series X but part of me is wondering if I'd be better off waiting for the PS5 Pro version that will hopefully clear up the game's ugly image ghosting. After about an hour or so with the game at launch I started to have a persistent and nagging thought: won't this be a lot better on the Switch 2? Back then the Switch 2 seemed to have a shot at releasing in 2024, too, so it wasn't such a ludicrous idea to wait for Nintendo's new console, and so I made my decision and stuck with it.
