I had a Vita Oled. I'll pass on this. I'm sure there's a market here but still prefer the size and portability of the Lite.

This many years into the Switch's lifecycle, they're being criminal by not just making the OLED version $300.
That said, the OG Switch still sells very well at full price. Nintendo has no reason to try more competitive pricing.
man it's 2021 we gotta stop pretending Gravity Rush was worth a shit. that shit is an easy 1/10
This is a nice upgrade aesthetically and functionally - especially in white. Really like the larger screen and the redesigned dock. Not sure if I will pick one up or not. I feel like if there wasn't so much talk of a power increase, DLSS, and 4K, people would be pretty excited about this.
Also, there has to be a 4K version somewhere inside of Nintendo. Way too much smoke for there to be no fire. People should lay off the "insiders" here.

Wow what a bummer. Was going to finally buy a Switch, but was waiting for the Pro announcement.
Welcome... OLED? Doesn't hurt anyone, but boy is it boring.

My theory is some wires got crossed with people collecting information. I think there will be a switch 2 in 2023 with what we have heard spec wise. I think it will also have an oled screen as well. I think this is a separate product that people thought was the pro coming out.
you can't find those in a store
and neither you will not find these LOL
Don't see how it would be, unless you got money to spend like that
Black and white version will look amazing next to my PS5 and XSX. Day 1. When are pre-orders going up?
If it were the same price as the existing model I would be a little more interested, but this feels disappointing. I wonder if this ended up being a compromise in response to the chip shortage.
The cheapest card with it is 3 years old and was $300 new.
Pretty sure Netflix on Vita doesn't work anymore.
LMAO, good joke, now announce the Switch Pro please.
Seriously, what good is an OLED screen when the games look, load and run like crap?
Not that I use handheld mode to begin with.
Switch games with their resolution, performance, load times, compressed audio and subpar visual fidelity appear more and more outdated by the day, but at least now we can enjoy all this 20-30fps goodness on an OLED screen, which makes the jitter even more noticeable. Nice!

This dock is just straight up worse than the original. Three USB ports (one of which can be used for ethernet or a hub) vs 2 USB ports and a forced ethernet port. There is literally nothing here for dock-only players.
The only noteworthy improvement is the new panel, and that's not worth $50 more than base model. The PSV in 2012 had OLED for $250. This is 4 year old hardware. It is about as much as upgrade as the PS4 Slim and Xbox One S and those were both considerably cheaper than the base MSRP.

Agreed, posted a couple messages back about it. I think the Lite being $200 is great, but OG should now be $250, and this guy $300.
And... How could they make a revision without internal upgrade that is more expensive than the original? All the technology inside the switch has become cheaper to make in those 5 or so years, a screen and Ethernet port can't justify this price bump.
ahahahahahahaha all this years of waiting for these ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
I play mostly docked on my tv, this is a pass, thank you nintendo for saving me money!

Waiting for the insider threadmarks XD
I do believe something is in the works though but I'm thinking its more likely a Switch 2 than a Pro revision.

lmao

This site would be a lot healthier if "leaks" and "insider info" beyond thinks like a digital store leak or an early published article were banned but those things probably increase the eyeballs here so whatever. I still 'member when insiders told me that Metroid Prime Trilogy was going to be revealed at the VGAs in like 2018.

As someone with a launch model switch who primary plays in handheld mode, I still don't wanna upgrade lmao….Unless GameStop offers me $300 for my switch, I don't mind paying $50 to upgrade.
Oh well. Money saved for eventually when I want a ps5.

But pricing it at 350 doesn't indicate that it will replace Mariko Switch. Maybe years from now but not right now. Switch Lite also seems to fit as a "budget" option. So from a pricing standpoint, 199/300/350 makes some sense.
Well it has a bigger and better screen.. and a stand, I guess. It's not a console, it's for those who play in handheld mode.
The Vita wishes it had a fraction of the Switches game library and console sales.
cheer up, it's a meme game like Knack. nobody actually thinks it's good.
Where is the black set?!
But I'm excited about this announcement, especially since I primarily play undocked. That being said, the lack of Bluetooth audio is definitely a disappointment though. It would have been a really nice icing on the cake for all the other features added to make undocked an even better, more accessible option
