I'll just get both. I've always been a software first type person and there's no way I'm letting Mario Kart, 3D Mario, and whatever the hell else come in the first few years of Switch 2 (literally the premiere games that I look forward to the most out of any) pass me by waiting for a nicer screen lol.

It will be dissapointing if they don't just launch with an OLED but all rumours seem to be pointing to it just being a plain LCD.

Of course it will, how else can they get people to double dip in a few years when they release the OLED version?

Excited to pick this up once it's released. Not much a gaming guy myself, but it has pretty sweet games for parties and hosting, which I do a lot.

Holy crud that's a horribly written article. Did they even review it before it was posted? Run it through Word for spelling and grammar?

Here we go!

That announcement video would have been fine if the direct was on Feb. 4th.

But that announcement video is super disappointing when the direct is April 2nd.

Seems weird that Nintendo is so intent on really dragging out this launch.

[OutOfTheCube]

I'm still excited, at least they've given us a date for the big showing instead of leaving it up in the air to speculate. There's lots of games to play in the meantime!

The S2 having the power of a PS4 is an interesting rumor. That basically puts it on par with the PS5 and Series X then, since most games for those are still getting released with backwards compatibility

[The Yen Man]

I thought it was more around the PS4 Pro level rather than PS5 of series X. Either way, I'm happy. Nintendo finally going HD graphics 10 years later lol. I play my Switch games docked, so it doesn't bother me whether it's LCD or OLED.

So probably out in June/July? Must just be compiling a ton of them, chip shortage is gone so should have tons of stock.

Nintendo's had HD graphics since Wii U released in 2012...

[The Yen Man]

Lol, you know what I mean. I'm just ecstatic the next Xenoblade game will finally run on a bit more decent hardware. Loved Xenoblade Chronicles 3, but never could get over the lingering thought as I played through it that it's just too bad this game wasn't 60fps and higher res graphics.

[chemgear]

Isn't 720p technically HD?

Comparing the same games across platforms, Switch is woefully short in graphic quality, which is what people are referring to.

If Switch 2 makes this less noticeable by at least getting up to speed with the PS4 Pro (which was very close to the quality of early PS5 games), that’s obviously a huge upgrade.

[Jimmy Stang]

Obviously joycons won’t be backwards compatible (when connected at least). I wonder about the pro controllers though. That would be nice.

Very pleased that physical games will be backwards compatible.

As for the dock, I doubt it. But that would be fabulous if so. Of course Nintendo would prefer that we have to buy more stuff.

[chemgear]

Using the joycons as mice should make shooters and strategy games easier.

So $550 with our #### dollar?

That would be minimum best case for the price. I would expect higher.

lol that is some logic

[chemgear]

Seesh, it took 4 years for the Switch OLED? So potentially not until 2029 for the Switch 2 OLED if on the same track.
