Quick Poll...looks like it's just screen and Dock updates, no DLSS, SoC or Ram improvements in sight.


How ya feeling?

 

[Kuranghi]

Mildly excited to recommend it to my mum and sister (for her 6 year old daughter).

 

[ArtemisClydeFrog]

The system and dock is cute af, hoping for better internals but it ain't looking good.

 

[SpokkX]

Wtf is this shit?

no internal upgrades??? Switch is woefully underpowered as it is

Currently refreshing Youtube for all the Nintendo influencers to post cope videos.

 

[SpecialAgentZ]

How can you know if the internals were upgraded or not of there's no mention of it anywhere? Ffs.. the shit just got announced. When has Nintendo detailed technical aspects of the internals of their consoles?

Nintendo fans should be nervous with what the Switch OLED AKA OLD has to offer why? Yeah it has a new screen but it forces developers to use struggling technology.

 

[Bragr]

Cool, they didn't need anything else, people are gonna go for that OLED screen like crazy. This makes perfect sense.

It's better to wait 2-3 years and release a new proper console rather than some half-ass 4K model now.

 

[STARSBarry]

Yeah super disappointing, literally no reason to upgrade right now... what a bloody let down.

Nintendo strategy. Release this model. Next will be this version with increased specs and colors. They are masters at milking consumers over bullshit

Tegra all the way baby!

[AJUMP23]

OLE OLE OLE upgrade the processor.

 

[H-I-M]

 

[SpecialAgentZ]

Tegra all the way baby!

Thank you for the info. What a letdown...

 

[Javthusiast]

Insiders, am I right?

 

[Oddvintagechap]

“Pro” model makes no sense. This is Nintendo, not Sony. They dont care about a small amount of fans what to see Mario in 4K. Nintendo is all about margins, market penetration, and huge consumer pool. Their limited hardware helps their first party games.

[SpokkX]

Tegra all the way baby!

Fucking Tegra

With Nintendo hardware always expect the worst - and then imagine this was 5 years ago. So the worst case FIVE YEARS AGO.

yep this new switch seems to fit nintendos style

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

fucking disaster

 

[BaneIsPain]

So wonder where is the switch pro leakers hiding? Good for newcomers anyway.

[Banjo64]

I like white and black, would go very well with the Series S and PS5 in a set up. I like Oleds, my Vita was a beauty. I don’t like everything else, from performance to the price and shoddy build quality of the controller. Won’t be buying.

 

[Zones]

Vita launched with an OLED screen in 2011.

I had it and it wasn’t really anything special back then, why would anyone aside from the rabbid fanboys would think a 720p screen is in 2021?

 

[jshackles]

Great option if you don't already have a switch. Slightly bigger screen and OLED is worth the $50 premium.

It's not going to make me double-dip though.

 

[Moses85]

Who expected a powerful Switch was and is an idiot. We are talking about Nintendo. They sell underpowered Hardware since the Wii totally overpriced.

 

[Little Chicken]

Weird how the PS5, Xbox Series S and Switch OLED look like they're part of the same 'family' of devices.

[Xaero Gravity]

I never play in handheld mode so the system doesn't appeal to me in the slightest unfortunately

 

[Mister Wolf]

I'm kinda glad they don't have a Pro Switch so I'm not tempted. I expect the Switch successor to be announced late next year. I've seen them pull this move before.

Gameboy Advance SP in 2003 just to release the Nintendo DS in 2004. Remember.

[Impotaku]

I'm rather enjoying watching people implode on here as they were stupid enough to believe all the fake rumours. Thanks nintendo, was totally worth you revealing that update for this alone, maybe next time gamers wont put so much faith in "leaks" LOOOL

 

[OmegaSupreme]

I can sum up gafs feelings I think.
Those who bought into the higher specs rumors.

The rest of us

 

[Punished Miku]

Did you see that sick ass LAN port tho?

 

[SaturnSaturn]

Love it, OLED is king! Anyone expecting 4k on a handheld from nintendo or much better specs are delusional.

The oled screen will make it so much better, really looking forward to it, i loved my oled vita

 

[R6Rider]

Me to Nintendo:

 

[Roman Empire]

All this waiting for something like this?! I can't believe Nintendo did one of the Nintendo hahaha. Can't wait for when we get the new New Switch with better specs

 

[MiguelItUp]

It's a slightly updated Switch, and that's really it. Cool for folks that don't have one, definitely the better model to get. In the end it's just Nintendo doing what Nintendo has always done, especially with handheld devices.

I really don't understand why or how people were expecting a serious Switch performance upgrade.

 

[Javthusiast]

Black is out and Mixed Race is in.

My ps4 is white, xbox series s obviously as well. I prefer matte, white over visible dust magnet black.

 

[Fake]

I was expecting microLED.

 

[kunonabi]

Performance enhancements didn't matter to me but i wanted form factor and QC improvements so this means I'm probably still not buying a Switch.

 

[killatopak]

 

[Mithos]

 

[nightmare-slain]

I was expecting microLED.

a more expensive and lower quality display than OLED.

why?
