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.

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

[–] picandocodigo@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] tehmics@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

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

[–] tehmics@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes-ish. It is part of the 3rd party case that is being rendered, and is for attaching their external SSD that is MagSafe compatible.

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

Heh that's funny

[–] MissJinx@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

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

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

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

[–] MissJinx@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

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

[–] BigSadDad@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Hell yeah! Fresh new stick drift. Stoked!

For real. The Steam Deck and hall effect joysticks make the switch kind of pointless

[–] Ilandar@lemm.ee -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

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