I did it as an impulse purchase, but I also realize that games such as Xenoblade Chronicles X will likely load and play
better with the new system. I have 45 physical switch games.

Only thing I did not like was that I had to buy a new microsd card to store my game data. A new 256gb card costed me
around $65.

I deleted some of the digital games I had on it to spare some space for later.

In my backlog I want to try Super Mario Bros Wonder again, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Dragon Quest III HD remaster and
Xenoblade Chronicles X Definite edition.

We got a Switch 2 on launch day, had it pre-ordered. Got the new Mario Kart World game as well (physical) and also got the upgrades for Breath of the Wild & Tears of the Kingdom.

Played the new Mario Kart for a bit for a few days, and it's neat, but really have been spending a lot of my time with the new system re-playing Breath of the Wild. That game we beautiful before, but the 4K upgrade really makes it shine. On the original switch you'd sometimes have some jitter/slow down in certain scenarios, especially when you're in the Lost Woods. With the Switch 2 version everything is buttery smooth.

Even some of the textures on the original game were a little pixalated/dithered but were upgraded/corrected in this version. It's nice to see new life breathed into a 7 year old game, well worth the $15 CAD upgrade price.

Xenoblade Chronicles X Definite edition.

I loved this game. It received some hate but I enjoyed it a lot. I played it when it was on the WiiU and I can say the switch port is the best version.

Outside legacy stuff (I never owned Switch1), what should convince to buy it if I'm not that much of a remote playing and I have a proper PC + legacy PS3/4 backlog still in place?

The main reason to buy a Nintendo product these days is access to their line of exclussive games. If you are not interested in playing Zeldas and Marios I think it is s more economical in the long run to buy a Steam Deck or a clone, mainly because PC titles are cheap and often available for free (legally), not to mention these handhelds can emulate easily up to the 7th generation of consoles and in a pich you can ssh into your servers and run your data center from one. Certainly, if you have a Playstation system already and you don't need to play on the go there is not much of a reason to buy anything else.

But then if you don't play that much I suspect a console makes a bit more sense... an Evercade and a couple of game cartridges are cheaper than a gaming computer, if you get the gist.

I actually have Evercade (handheld) and play on it from time to time. I've stashed a good 10 carts for it or so...
