  I'm on vacation today but just gonna leave this here for no particular reason https://twitter.com/...

  At this point, I'd almost bet we don't get a “Switch Pro” half-step and instead get an entirely new “Switch 2” in 2023/2024.

  If you don't want to buy a new Switch but DO want the OLED model's new dock, good news: got confirmation from Nintendo that you'll be able to buy the new dock separately. https://www.digitaltrends.com/ ...

  The year is 2025 and Nintendo finally releases a more powerful Switch but it still uses the same CPU and GPU, but this time with the higher clock speeds it's meant to run at with better power management. https://twitter.com/...

  The Switch Pro is officially called the Nintendo Switch (OLED Model). It releases October 8th 2021, the same day as MEtroid Dread. Larger screen (reduced bezel). Much wider kickstand across the whole back. Improved speakers. Wired LAN port on dock. White dock and Joy-Cons. https:…

  I guarantee you that the oled display is probably cheaper than using the older lcd display https://twitter.com/...

  really happy about this honestly cause now I don't gotta buy one lmao https://twitter.com/...

  The new Switch is very pretty....then you realize everything will still run at 10fps 🤪 https://www.theverge.com/...

• @jaypeters Jay Peters on x

  One tidbit here: Nintendo confirmed that the new Switch will work in the old Switch dock, and the reverse is true as well. So the OLED Switch could be useful as a second Switch + dock for your house. https://www.theverge.com/...

  For those who want the quick update: -Dimensions of the Switch OLED are identical apart from screen -OLED 7 inch screen (prev 6.3 inch) -LAN/Ethernet plug now built in, no more adapters needed -Comes in a white color -Kickstand is wide + adjustable -No performance changes https:/…

  I'm happy to finally see the new Switch but...Nintendo Switch (OLED Model) is really the best name they had? 😅 https://www.youtube.com/... https://twitter.com/...

• @theblackhokage @theblackhokage on x

  All them rumors of a 4K a capable Switch pro just to get an OLED screen & “enhanced audio”. This is why you take rumor reports with a grain a salt 😭😭😭 https://twitter.com/...

• @rubberninja Ross O'Donovan on x

  So it's the same hardware but with a bigger screen for portability.. I only play on my TV, so I don't think I'll be getting this. https://twitter.com/...

• @agentbizzle Brian Altano on x

  I for one am shocked and appalled that the company with little to no history of launching significantly more powerful mid-generation hardware refreshes is once again releasing a product that is completely in line with that philosophy! Shocked and appalled!!! https://twitter.com/.…

• @notpatrick Patrick Beja on x

  They're not SAYING the Tegra chip is more powerful, but my money is still on graphical improvements. I WANT TO BELIEVE!!! https://www.theverge.com/...

• @oliverjia1014 Oliver Jia on x

  What's the point? Apart from the screen and stand, there's no noticeable upgrade from the regular Switch. I love Nintendo, but they really embody two steps forward, one step backwards with decisions like these. https://twitter.com/...

• @reckless Nilay Patel on x

  The fact that it's being marketed directly as “Nintendo Switch (OLED model)” is proof that the display nerds of the world have won. We will rule benevolently, with excellent contrast ratios https://www.theverge.com/...

• @mcbiggitty Marty Sliva on x

  Vita OLED walked so Switch OLED could run.

• @lordravenscraft Eric Ravenscraft on x

  My entire career, I've watched the tech news industry mill its own rumors and then be disappointed when the reality doesn't line up to the things they made up. https://twitter.com/...

• @tomwarren @tomwarren on x

  the new Switch OLED is a little disappointing. Rumors had suggested a new Nvidia chip, 4K output to TVs, and more. The reality is same internals, a new OLED display, and a bump to storage. The disappointing part is no significant bump to battery life https://www.theverge.com/... …

  This is actually so hilariously out of touch even from a company that is selling a slightly remastered wii game from 2011 for full price https://twitter.com/...

• @loudmouthjulia Julia Alexander on x

  Nintendo will charge people $50 more for a brighter screen; diehards will absolutely buy it and parents will snag one for their kids. Nintendo is going to make bank on an “I Guess It's Slightly Better” console. Devil works hard, but Nintendo's marketing department works harder. h…

  You still can't charge/play and have the Switch setup with the stand by the looks of things lol https://www.youtube.com/...

  High res pics of Nintendo Switch OLED https://www.businesswire.com/ ... All previously released Joy-Con are compatible with new model. Additionally, Nintendo Switch (OLED model) is compatible with the full library of Nintendo Switch games https://twitter.com/...

• @jonporty Jon.Porter on x

  ✅Bigger, 7-inch screen, now OLED ✅Built in Ethernet port in the dock ❌4K output ❌Any sign (so far) of an upgraded processor https://www.theverge.com/...

  Not the Switch Pro I was hoping for but I'll take it. https://twitter.com/...

• @sam_l_shead Sam Shead on x

  Feels like the new Nintendo Switch is just the old Nintendo Switch with a better screen and little else https://twitter.com/...

• @zhugeex Daniel Ahmad on x

  Here is the PR for the Nintendo Switch (OLED Model) launching on October 8. It will cost $349 and comes with a 7 inch OLED screen, wide adjustable stand, a dock with wired LAN port and 64GB of storage. https://www.businesswire.com/ ...
