I don't really have a problem with the Switch. It's great! I fits all my needs, and I 100% understand if they want to make it the same, just even better.

I hope they keep it the same overall, with small improvements everywhere. Especially inside hardware ofc.

How am I supposed to fit that into my purse

You obviously get a bigger purse. That's Nintendo's scheme. They're in bed with Big Purse to sell more big purses.

Is that a magsafe ring?

This supports the rumor that there will be no OLED screen in the Switch 2 which is disappointing

Have to plan ahead for the mid-cycle upgrade

It really does look like its just a "Switch Pro"

[–] [email protected] 11 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Until Nintendo doesn't show anything official, there's no confirmation that this is actually the successor of the Switch.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 12 hours ago

There's enough leaks at this point, it's pretty safe to assume Nintendo is just being Nintendo on the announcement. I swear I play leaked builds of half their games before they're even announced these days.

Will the joy con last more than a week? No joke they quality of joy con is to shitty for the price

Is anyone kinda....unimpressed? It just seems like a slightly bigger version of the switch. I was kinda hoping for something more substantial...

Do you own an apple phone? yeah they are all the same

[–] [email protected] 3 points 18 hours ago

They should call it Nintendo OY. But I don't think anyone would get it.

The exclusive games will need to be really good if a design like this is to sell well. Otherwise they are heading for another Wii U situation.

Considering how long they’ve waited to release this thing, I don’t see them coming out the gate without some heavy hitters
