We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
I'm dying that people really believed this would have better performance/resolution. It's just a new screen + storage. I can't.
Okay, I thought my expectations were relatively well adjusted but this is really disappointing still -_-
I'm still on the launch model and I don't think this will make sense for me to buy.
For people getting on board just now this is great though - better screen, better internet, more space, same rest.
But uhm, there's nothing pro about this.

This does seem like something that will likely replace the original model within 6-12 months of launch...otherwise I don't really see the point.
Charge a premium for the early adopters, then drop to $299 when the original Switch stock has been cleared out.

This thing could cost 299 and OG 249 easily. This price is inflated
He's been right about multiple things and he usually is very, very careful about how he words things. And when he's been wrong, he's apologized and owned it.
Not someone we should be scapegoating and chasing away.
He also said multiple times "there is a chance that it's just an OLED screen". He did an entire episode of his podcast dedicated to that possibility.
I understand the anger. I'm pissed too. But treating folks like Nate poorly is not going to help this situation. These reports were happening without his aid, he is not the source of your ire.

Love the white/grey Joy-Cons and this sounds nice for people who like handheld mode (I only use it when exercising, so eh), but I'll be sticking to my original model Switch. Glad this isn't a Pro, honestly.
My biggest issues continue to be:
-battery life
-stick drift
-nintendos shitty pricing making it impossible to invest in older games
i will wait on stick drift because this doesnt seem like a diff controller

I was going to buy Switch last summer, but been told to wait because of the Pro Model.
So I waited and waited till I was burned and my excitement for the Switch faded... and now this is it?
Wow.... I waited all this time till my excitement faded away because of THIS?
WOW...... WOW WOW WOW.

Nintendo to Use Faster Nvidia Chips in New 2021 Switch Model
Nintendo Co. plans to adopt an upgraded Nvidia Corp. chip with better graphics and processing for a new Switch model planned for the year-end shopping season, according to people familiar with the matter.www.bloomberg.com

Bloomberg: New Nintendo Switch to Support DLSS for 4K Visuals in TV Mode; Will Also Pack Upgraded CPU & Memory for $349/399
The rumored new Nintendo Switch ‘Pro’ model will use an upgraded NVIDIA chip with DLSS support for 4K gaming in docked mode.wccftech.com
350 USD for a DLSS based handheld with AI cores
Delusional
Release date - September, possibly slipping to October was right. It being uncertain probably related to Nintendo schedule issues and how it was going to be linked to Metroid: Dread
It being announced close to E3 - depending on the insiders, they were right. Since it ended up being the 3rd week after E3.
It replacing the OG Switch should also be put on standby, that could still happen.
At this point, the Pro might as well be the successor.
That was legit one of the best announcements. The current ass stand is horrible and as someone who (in the before times) used to use the switch as a portable multiplayer thing it was the most awkward part of setting it up because of how shit it was.
So this is just DS to DSi basically. No worries then. If it was 4k visual output then it would've been an automatic. Not disappointed or anything. This just isn't for me right now.
I don't think that's gonna be the case - it's gonna sell out either way because it's just one of 3 Switch models on the market and will be limited.
I don't expect the current V2 Switch to stick around long after this model. It's the same TX1 as the Lite and the V2 now diversified into 3 manufacturing lines but with obvious redundancies.
But anyway, my opinion based on all we have heard isn't shaken. So I'll wait. It doesn't make sense for everything we have heard from this variety of credible sources to all be false in my estimation. So take it as you will.
I still don't know who Nintendo is selling this too? After pandemic selling this year, if they try to phase out the cheaper $300 for this, they are raising the switch price by $50 for only handheld upgrade.
DSi had better internals and DSi exclusive games. So no...this is less than that. More like 3DS to 3DSXL.
Hey you're getting a 60fps Zelda this year! lol
Maybe BOTW2 will launch alongside actually new hardware and it will happen then...then again I also kinda thought BOTW would run at 60fps on the Switch before I knew much about its graphical power.
Hostility to insiders
Official Staff Communication
We understand this announcement goes against some of the insider leaks. Being disappointed and upset with some of the those leaks and insider sources in general is fine, but direct call-outs / hostility towards any specific insiders will be met with moderation.
EDIT (Hecht):
Official Staff Communication
Because it's become a distraction, we want to address the earlier staff post about insiders; the concern was that certain callouts were feeding a frenzy beyond the site and could lead to harassment. There weren't a lot of staff available when it was made, and the wording of the post was too broad. Nobody was banned following the post and the intention wasn't to say that "insiders" should be beyond criticism, so this was a mistake in communication. This was done with good intentions but was not handled by staff who usually deal with "insider posting" and wasn't consistent with our usual approach.
