Nintendo missed the point badly here.

As I said elsewhere, why are they still selling the original and not replacing it with this as the new standard model?!

 

[ResurrectedContrarian]

I feel great.

- no splitting of the install base
- no need to shell out for another console in order to keep playing their new releases
- no forced obsolescence like the nauseating world of yearly iPad / iPhone updates
- who gives a shit about 4k Nintendo games, lol

 

[Sid Of Bee]

Just another model, not a real revision. Nintendo doing their thing. Switch "Pro" has been delayed due to chip shortages. Doesn't matter, the switch has awesome games and I don't have much complaints with the current model, granted I have all systems so I experience high end stuff too, it's just Nintendo does have their own appeal

I’ve enjoyed the Switch, but anybody can see that it is really showing its age now. And everybody who owns a 4K tv would give a shit about 4K Nintendo games, me included. The real question is why would anybody buy another Switch, or pay more for one, with an Oled screen? This is arguably worse than iPad updates that you refer to.

 

[Arun1910]

BOOOOO

 

[gordy]

I don't play other than on my tv, so this upgrade really doesn't mean much to me. It's more of a Switch lite Pro.

 

[EverythingsOverrated]

Honestly, at the very least I was hoping for a specs increase that would allow more games to hit 720p handheld and 1080p docked. Way too many games run at sub native resolutions

So, you’re glad they didn’t improve specs and make you’re prior purchase feel inferior?

I don’t think a boosted 4k output would make any one of the points you made.

 

[Danjin44]

I didn’t care either way, I personally happy with my current OG Switch.

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

Not really sure which answer of your poll is positive or negative to be honest.

But officially not excited. Not dissapointed too, I was not expecting something crazy, so I just don't care and I'm neutral.

 

[SaturnSaturn]

I'm also looking forward to oled sub 540p at 20 fps

ahhh yes we need 4k fidelity and AAA games forever, nintendo is the only one of the big three that have lots of aa game, lots of niche games because developers dont have to spend ungodly amounts of money on raytracing and individual hair physics and a bunch of retarded shit. I would rather developers take risks and make a unique aa game, instead of the same shit aaa high fidelity shit

 

[bitbydeath]

Whatever, just bring out a new Mario Party.

 

[BlackTron]

Nintendo just killed their chances to get the multiplatform 3rd party games on their consoles. Most of these games will skip the switch like they already did last gen. But with the release of PS5, the leap is too much for the switch hardware, which was already under powered compared to the PS4.

Besides the usual indi games that are not taxing on the hardware, the best place to play those 3rd party games will be on the PS5 or PC. This gen will be the worst for Nintendo with regards to 3rd party games.

Oh, please. As if a Switch successor was ever going to get PS5 games.

 

[Captain Toad]

As I said elsewhere, why are they still selling the original and not replacing it with this as the new standard model?!

Because they wouldn't get away with raising the price for a consoles that's been out four and a half years otherwise.

 

[SoggyBiscuit]

 

[Shifty1897]

I really just wanted something powerful enough to play games at the Switch screen's native 720p resolution. Instead I got a fancy screen so I can see the 320p jaggies REALLY WELL.

 

[RoboFu]

Oil of Oled

 

[Porcile]

I won't be upgrading and that's a good thing. I don't have any problems with the current Switch hardware so I am glad I can have the same experience as people who want the OLED version.

 

[Investor9872]

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

And we sheep keep buying them, that's the problem!

 

[DaleinCalgary]

 

[scydrex]

If it were $300 ok at least better screen and a bit bigger. Don't know why the battery is the same, lan port is nothing, 64gb ok. For $350? Ummm not for me.

 

[PhoenixTank]

Finally the Nintendo Switch Proled edition.

Didn't fully buy the rumours about a "pro". Maybe an upgraded chip is indeed in the works but not feasible to bring to mass market on 7nm in the quantities required right now. Maybe it was just bullshit.
Not going to be a huge difference between those two options for a while.

I would like the OLED for gaming outside this summer but I'm not going to shell out for it when I still have the OG.
Maybe the steampal will actually come to market and fill that niche for me.

 

[Rubik8]

The best choice for new Switch owners or Switch fanatics. Not worth the upgrade for most people.

 

[Ferdimage]

Does it make my TV OLED when docked?
If so I'll buy it....

 

[99Luffy]

So glad I didnt sell my switch during the covid price hike.

Wait you are ok with zelda age of calamity and its framerate?
Legit?

 

[Azelover]

I have myself to blame for being disappointed.

I never should have trusted any rumours.

I mean, seriously! Look how well the Switch is doing. There's no reason to create another mode on top of the two we already have. Makes no sense to do that.

 

[kraspkibble]

I like it and I will be buying one.

 

[dano1]

4K or bust!
I guess I’ll keep rocking my WiiU

 

[SF Kosmo]

Not for me. I mean I like it, but have an OG switch that is fine until Switch 2 drops. I hope Switch 2 is coming by 2023.

Knowing Nintendo, their true next gen system will be moving on from the Switch concept to some other stupid gimmick and retain none of what made the Switch great, and we'll all hate it and half of us will buy it anyway.

 

[Barakov]

It never ceases to amaze me how Nintendo is so skilled at disappointing people.

[Knightime_X]

Honestly, i'm glad there isn't a switch pro.
Just make a switch 2 that's switch bc.

done and done

 

[AeonGaidenRaiden]

I dont understand the business decision behind it. At least from that one ad its shown as a new member of the Switch family but as a new customer....why would you buy a V1 now? I mean its the same thing just sliiiiiiiiightly bigger screen. The 4 year later upgrade is a joke but if it was meant to replace the V1 switch OK. But selling both at the same time makes absolutely zero sense.

 

[UnNamed]

 

[Cyborg]

Not fixing the joy-con issue (I'm on my 3rd) is the biggest letdown. I see no reason to buy this and support the product

 

[GeekyDad]

They went smaller with the Switch Lite. I'm happy. I still prefer handhelds, so I'm indifferent to this. But if there are folks out there that wanted this, great.

 

[Corgi1985]

Hey if games ran at a stable framerate nintendo would be as boring as the other guys. Now going to enjoy some 368p xenoblade 2 in 2021 for $350

 

[j0hnnix]

 

[John Cowheel]

I dislike how this offers basically nothing for docked players. I have a proper Switch and a Switch Lite. The OG Switch I pretty much only use in docked mode and of course the lite is my system to use in bed or whatever. I was hoping for a more robust system to use docked. I love looking at OLED screens, but I can just as easily just play my docked Switch on a much bigger one. Anything short of a performance boost was always going to be a disappointment and Nintendo succeeded with that.

[Fahdis]

Look at my avatar and then read it in this tone:
So Nintendo is finally doing what the Original Vita did how many years ago?
Seriously?

 

[Orta]

If I didn't have and was waiting to get a Switch, yay!

As I already have one, meh.

Looks like we'll be waiting on the Switch 2 and not a Switch Pro.

 

[tusharngf]

 

[TLZ]

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?

Really? They'd definitely flaunt 4k or dlss or 1080p screen like they flaunted the stupid LAN port like it's 2001.

 

[vodka-bull]

50 more than xss

Why even mention Apple when iOS is still supporting iPhone 6s with updates

 

[TLZ]

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

I expected a little more power. At least fucking something. I'd even take 0.8tf which is shit in today's tech over their current 0.4tf. Something after 4.5 years fgs.
