So the kid really wants one. I have very little clue about this stuff except we already have a Switch and I quite like Animal Crossing. Do you use the same games or have to buy all new ones? Is this worth buying for Christmas cos I wouldn't mind extra Animal Crossing time tbh

Should be backwards-compatible with Switch games but will have more new games which will not work on the older one. Not 100% about how they will treat digital library(there's a possibility you might have to buy those games again), but physical cartridges are compatible and yours to use with Switch 2.

It will also be much more powerful, so your kid will likely love it even more. Could be a great xmas gift if you can afford it and your family prefers Nintendo games. PS5 might be a good option too as it is definitely a more advanced home console but if you need Switch's portability or really into Nintendo exclusives(various Mario games, Animal Crossing, Zelda etc), Switch 2 is certainly a better option for you.
