The upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, priced at $449.99 with games costing up to $79.99, faces stiff competition from handheld gaming PCs like the Asus ROG Ally. The author, already owning an Ally, finds the Switch 2's high price and limited game library less appealing, especially considering the Ally's access to a vast library via Steam, Game Pass, and other platforms. While acknowledging the value of Nintendo exclusives, the author concludes the Switch 2 isn't a worthwhile investment for those who already own a powerful handheld gaming PC.
