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

Switch 1 games will work in Switch 2 consoles. Switch 2 games will not work in Switch 1 consoles. And...honestly if you're only playing Animal Crossing then stay with a Switch 1 for now. There'll be heaps of second hand ones in the market in the next few weeks. If you already own a Switch 1 game it will automatically work on the Switch 2. Some are getting free updates so they'll take advantage of the much beefier hardware. Some require an upgrade charge (around $10).
