Love OOT, sitting this one out kinda sucks. But Nintendo is not getting my money.
There will be emulation at some point.

Probably not for many, many years. Certainly nowhere near as fast as with Switch 1. But it is inevitable that it will be playable without a Switch 2 at SOME point in the future.
A month ago, I would have been right there with you. But the Steam Deck RAMpocalypse pricing made me realize that there won't be any new sub-$1000 consoles for a long time. I figured I might as well get a Switch 2 while the price is the lowest it will be in its lifetime so I can play the exclusives that come out on it, because I certainly won't be getting a PS6 or new PC any time soon! The last time I gave Nintendo money was for TotK in May 2023 until I got the Switch 2 last week.
Just beat the recompiled version recently and damn is it impressive! This remake looks very odd, style wise. I'll have to wait but I think I'm fine sitting this one out for now.
I wonder how different it will be mechanically from the original. I think it holds up pretty well once you get used to the controls
