Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

Its happening folks, whether you agree with it or not.

With the Switch Mini it's not a question of "if" but "when".

Some reports says September for Link's Awakening, others say November for Pokemon .

Either way...it's coming.

@WebHead Follow the links - whatever was up isn't any more. Could just be someone toolin' around.

@Magician
And if it has White Switch Mini.... 😃

@gcunit or they took it down because Nintendo requested it. Its coming, just accept it.

Probably... Not interested in any alternative Switch model until & unless mine wears out, though

Only switch im getting is the upgrades version not the mini

Why don't I remember seeing this during E3? FANTASTIC looking little game. Really dig the artstyle.

It's also getting a physical release. Amazon has a retail version listed for $30. Appears to be releasing mid-to-late 2020.

I only support a Mini right now so that we don’t keep having to hear about it every five days in here 🙄

Seems like a reasonable guess that Switch Mini is being announced sometime before the investors meeting on June 27th given all the smoke surrounding accessory preorders.

Mini is all well and good but I'm more interested I the rumored Pro edition or whatever

I think the pro will come out next year. Right now Nintendo's ending the 3ds and offering an affordable switch for children. That's what happened with the 3ds. There's no doubt there will be a Switch pro, I just think it will come out later than the Switch mini.

There is no Pro Edition.

That was all baseless speculation given what Sony and MS did. More of a wishlist item that people just repeat to the point they think it’s true.

The actual reports suggest a “modest upgrade” replacement model, that will be the same price and replace the current model. Little better battery life, slight redesign, etc. perhaps a marginal improvement with the chip. But given it’s evidently going to replace the current model, one thing is clear: it’s not a Pro. Switch pro doesn’t exist.

We won’t see a leap until the next generation

I honestly hope there is no Switch pro, just because there will be exclusive games for it that work better on it. (And Nintendo will push to buy another console)

@WebHead Pokemon Stars was also listed by several retailers. And it never existed either. Just saying.

@Lucarianzx I dont think so. Switch games are a lot more expensive to make than 3DS games. I do not think that will fly anymore.

Only a few more remasters/remakes left to happen before Switch is the ultimate handheld PS1.

@Therad
Just to clarify, I do buy what I say, and definitely wouldn’t download some pic off the internet (this isn’t everything- just what I could cram into the shot). You’ll see my name on the 3rd shelf down

@Octane
These are actual accessories though. Unless you’ve ever seen a listing for a fake accessory? I certainly haven’t.

We all know the occasional bogus listing happens from time to time, but that doesn’t mean we just outright dismiss any listing ever. There’s nuance in all things. We have to look at the specific situation and evidence, and judge according. We’re seeing multiple listings at multiple retailers for Switch mini accessories. And phantom accessories aren’t something retailers tend to list. Compound that with multiple leaks from multiple journalists whose sources indicate Switch Mini is coming, as well as historical precedent of Nintendo releasing a redesign a few years in, and the fact Nintendo will want a cheaper, more portable model to sell with Pokémon/Animal Crossing as they attempt to capture the bulk of the handheld market, and the picture starts to come into focus. And tbh, at this point that picture is crystal clear.

That’s gonna look great in a yard sale

@Morpheel
No it won’t, cause it’s not for sale.

But if I did ever get out of gaming, I’d sell on eBay where I have 400+ feedback at 100% rating. Yard sales are for the masses who want furniture and five dollar coffee pots. Nobody would want Switch games, and on the off chance someone did, they’d probably only buy a couple and at a very low price. It could take years selling a full collection in a yard sale. Better to just give the games away at that point and be done with it.

In fact, I did have a major sale a few years ago. Every PS4 game on the shelf aside from exclusives got sold on eBay, and repurchased for Xbox One (due to no external storage allowed on PS4, then as soon as I converted they patched in external drive support... go figure, but I don’t mind because games tend to look/run better on the Xbox One X anyways). 60+ games sold and repurchased. Only netted a loss of about $100 converting over. The power of eBay and BestBuy GCU on sale prices should not be underestimated..
