Only and only if you really care about the games that no other platform has.

Actually no, historically Nintendo release a new console abt ever 5 to 6 years, give or take. So, the switch in 2017 and then oled in 2021, you're looking at somewhere after 2025.
And rumours of a switch 2 have been circling around since 2020, and right now releasing a new console will cripple the oleds growth, and that's the last thing they want.

Hello! You have made the mistake of writing "ect" instead of "etc."
"Ect" is a common misspelling of "etc," an abbreviated form of the Latin phrase "et cetera." Other abbreviated forms are etc., &c., &c, and et cet. The Latin translates as "et" to "and" + "cetera" to "the rest;" a literal translation to "and the rest" is the easiest way to remember how to use the phrase.
Check out the wikipedia entry if you want to learn more.

The regular Nintendo switch is just over half it's production life, you lot have been harping on abt a switch 2 ever since the original one released. Nintendo aren't going to suddenly make a new console when they've literally just released one, they're not stupid. There isn't any credible source for a switch pt2 anytime this side of 2024.
Op, get a regular switch or a oled if you don't mind paying a little extra for a better screen. Look online for second hand switches that come with games to save you some money.

Thats fine that just gives me a timeframe to work with. Judging by all the info you provided id say it is a NES or NES clone that you had. most likely a clone as those were more common after 2000

r/retrogaming has helped me to find my console, it seems that my console was a NES or a NES clone accompanied by a 500-in-1.

NES surely, that ninja turtles game was epic and the shooting game was duck hunt.

You mentioned you have a laptop, if you have any games on Steam a steam deck could suit you well? Handheld like a switch, but access to the same games as Xbox/PlayStation (well, MOST of the games available on PlayStation barring some exclusives. The majority of which are coming to steam/pc eventually.)

If you're able to somehow scrounge up enough cash for an Xbox Series S (even second hand) picking this up with Gamepass would be a great deal. For Gamepass if you stack up 3 years of Xbox Live Gold, you can then convert it to Gamepass Ultimate for $1 more effectively netting you 3 years for $60/year. However you can play games on XB1 with XSX performance through game streaming which is pretty sweet if you really can't afford an XSS, but of course that comes with a bit of latency, inability to play local multiplayer, no quick resume, etc.
Switch has a great library, and the Switch Lite hardware itself feels great from the few times I've tried it, but personally without the ability to plug it into a TV makes it a difficult sell. 1st party Nintendo games also always remain expensive, with discounts at most 33% off the original retail price ($56 from $80 in Canada, $40 from $60 in US for example) which means the price could rack up quickly with more game purchases if price is a concern for you. Indie games and 3rd party games tend to have the potential to be cheaper though.

Between 2004 and 2007, but the truth is that I live in a Latin American country, where things arrive late. It was a console bought second hand and it was my first console.

Quick question, what year would you say you had this console? that would narrow down the search tremendously.
But to venture a guess id say NES, that has all the games you listed. Super Mario eliminates anything sega and basically guarantees it was a nintendo of some sort. the SNES also could have been it although the SNES gun controller was rifle shaped with a scope and stock. The gun for NES was pistol shaped. Another thing is that NES was the only system with duck hunt

Xbox is best value because of game pass
Switch is old and games are expensive, but are amazing
Ps5 has some exclusives that are great (Xbox should have some amazing ones coming soon as well, though)

If you don't have a high-end PC then PS5 won't feel redundant.
Really, though, you should consider what game(s) you want before considering the console.

They are the same exact console. The only real difference are the exclusives and the services. Do your own research.
