RE9 on Switch 2 over Higher End Hardware Dilemma

Discussion

I’m struggling with something and maybe community discussion will help me out. I currently have the Generation Pack for RE 7-9 on switch 2 preordered. My current gaming hardware is a ps5 pro and a switch 2. My ps5 pro never gets used lately because between my two kids and spending time with my wife, it is so hard to get time on the pro. It’s an isolating issue and I get to game on it but much more infrequently in comparison to the switch 2 for all the well known dad-friendly reasons and examples.

However where I’m struggling is I am a huge RE fan and a part of my heart wants the bells and whistles graphics to experience it - but the reality of my life is, if I actually want to play and beat this game realistically, I need it on Switch 2. I know the port is great based on previews so far so it’s not that.. more, this is such a big shift in how I’ve traditionally approached my gaming and it’s kind of a realization I’ve had lately - that the switch 2 kind of has to be my main gaming platform if I want the hobby to be a real part of my life where I am at.

Just looking for discussion with others (maybe parents) who are used to playing things at high fidelity and now shifting their priority for the game because you’d rather play it at lower quality than not at all.
