If this Switch OLED screen has iphone True Tone, I might consider checking its product listing.

... they are listening now more than ever in their history with the Switch. I mean, Metroid Dread ffs.
Chill, it's a refresh to a system. Not a completely brand new system. Nintendo themselves never said, "we're making a 4k DLSS Switch Pro that will have games running at higher framerates and resolutions and it's coming soon!!!", they're just updating the Switch with some slightly better QoL updates like an OLED screen, a LAN port, better storage, a good kickstand and improved audio. Bloomberg and a few insiders reported on a Switch successor having 4K DLSS, but their source could have been wrong, misinterpreted it, or it could be for a future Switch Successor.
Kinda disappointed that there is no spec upgrade.
Like, I play almost exclusively docked, I won't actually see the screen much.
That said, the color scheme would fit well on my setup along with the black and white PS5.

I'm confused, they increased the screen size but the joycons are the same right? And the non-oled switch is compatible with the new dock?
Sad though. Switch is showing it's age and hardware limitations.
Really good to know. Very weird decision but I'm okay with my OG switch.
Now it comes as a joke but many people were speculating
I thought it didn't look that special
It's not going to replace the 300 Switch, Idk why you guys are thinking this when it's clear that it's based on a pricing tier:
Switch OLED = 350/"Premium"
Switch = 300/Regular
Switch Lite = 199/Budget
So is the dock compatible with the original switch? Cause I'd rather just buy that for the ethernet port and just stick with my OG switch
I'm pretty sure this is it. We will get a switch 2 in 2 years most likely.
My only real disappointment with this is it means the Switch Pro discourse keeps going, which is incredibly uninteresting.
It is incredibly unlikely that we see a Switch Pro. Nintendo will likely ride this and a Switch Lite revision until it's time for a new console in 2-3 years.
Also, I think it's time to have a real conversation about "insiders". For the most part, they're people with access to retail databases and friends who work for third party developers. They aren't really journalists and they're certainly not worth you PAYING them for their scoops.

In all honesty if this was $299 and they dropped the price of the OG down to $249 I think that'd be much more acceptable. Having it at $349 for essentially a Switch XL is a bit hard to swallow.
I'd definitely pay $349-399 for an enhanced version though.

it really isn't an issue on oleds nowadays. It wasn't an issue with the vita.
Their most dedicated fans will eat this up. Your mistake is assuming that population is here on ERA
Nintendo is following the same pricing strategy they did with the 3DS original price, pricing a product higher just for the hype and not according their real value. Sadly this time it will work and they will sell millions. Nintendo in their comfort zone is the worst Nintendo.
Who says this is meant for current owners? It's a small upgrade for $50 for those that want it.
Why would they drop the price when its selling better than it ever has before?
Lol. This is ridiculous.
If people hadn't been fed some built up expectations via insiders and rumors, and this was just a random new model people wouldn't be so upset.
People are upset due to preconceived expectations and believing insiders and rumors. Nintendo has never given ANY indication of a pro model etc.
This isnt worth it to you? Cool. Get the normal one.
Anyone built a Switch library waiting for more powerful hardware?
I have Xenoblade 1+2 here that I didn't want to touching case there was a "Pro" version coming out. It's not a total loss - I guess they just move up my backlog now.

And this revision literally address several complaints people raised with the original model: smaller bezel to fit a bigger screen, ethernet port in the doc, longer battery life, more storage, better kickstand. Now people are focusing on more niche complaints or complaining that rumors weren't true so they can continue the "they never listen" narrative.
I guess I misread cause I thought you were saying that's what this is
Maybe some fans are not happy with the news as they feel the company isn't listening to them? Not everyone needs to act like everything that Nintendo does is sacred and good.
I don't think this kind of passive-aggressive post is any better for the discussion.
Dont see the point in upgrading to this model. If I was buying new, yeah, the difference would have been worth extra $50. Otherwise, the main place this would have been better would be if you actually do MP on Switch screen with other people.
This gon be us and millions of others lol.[I want it for that SMT v glory]
Nintendo gotta quit playing and get us the pro asap

I think Nintendo had a new chipset in mind for this and got skunked on delays and said fuck it.
I have a normal one. Two actually and I don't follow rumors I just know my Switch sucks on my LG CX and first party games struggle on the damn thing. Ontop of being really bad with any kind of home theater. The store chugs to even load if one game is suspended.
the hardware needs a refresh BAD. That's not me getting excited from rumors that's me being disappointed in the current hardware.
I think the new dock works with the old Switch, maybe just get the dock?
FINALLY! R.I.P. Super Nintendo Switch. There's still hope for the Switch's successor I guess. Dedicated Ethernet port is a damn blessing. So guess it's not anymore powerful, bit of a bummer, but I'm interested based off the ethernet port and screen alone.
Well, don't get me wrong. I think $50 extra for bells & whistles is reasonable and the OLED Switch is a no-brainer choice for the new owners.
I think I was pretty clear in my post that it was just my opinion. Obviously Nintendo does their own research on what they think the appropriate price is for them.
