Topic: The Nintendo Switch Thread

Went on a Nintendo Switch buying frenzy within the past month or two.

The following list are games I got in June and early July:

• Miitopia
• Toree 3D
• Namco Museum Archives Vol. 1
• Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum 'n' Fun
• Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 Plus
• Bit.Trip Runner
• Sky: Children of Light
• _{^{Demos of Game Builder Garage and Monster Hunter Rise}}

I have played all but Taiko no Tatsujin, Sky: Children of Light, and the demos I listed. I've enjoyed every single game and don't regret any of my purchases.

As a bonus, I got Bug Fables through Xbox Game Pass, it's a really fun game.

@Giancarlothomaz Sorry about the misinformation. I got it by comparing a list of the metroid games and must have misread metroid primes sales.

Looks good, would like a few more details first tho.

No mention on the site as yet but switch pro has officially been announced, out on October 8th.

It’s called Nintendo Switch OLED model and features a bigger, 7 inch OLED screen as well as enhanced audio. Dock features wired LAN port too.

Site might catch up, eventually.

So it's a real thing, eh? Pretty cool, now I have an excuse to upgrade from my near-launch Switch.

Awesome seeing the Pro! Not 4K but that’s fine. More storage, a LAN port, basically solving all the original Switch’s drawbacks.

A bigger screen without a pronounced increase in horsepower?

Pass.

Oled Switch has same day launch as Metroid, I wonder if we’ll get a ‘Christmas game’ to push sales with it?

@DomGC Why are you yelling at people that are happy? Not like any of them said that the chipset was improved in their comments after reveal.

I had thought the purpose of a Switch Pro was to try and compete a bit more with the home-console side of the market? Even though they were never gonna release anything as powerful as the PS5, at least having something that could play games in 4K or at 60fps would do something to appeal to those of us who mostly play at home in front of a TV.

There's zero reason to buy this new version if you're a mostly-at-home player.

...so then... What rumours are there about the next hardware?

Man, I can't wait to see all the snarky comments today lol

Not a pre-order for me, but quite possibly a buy eventually. I think people are underestimating how nice the OLED display is gonna be in handheld. The native LAN port is nice, too.

I think it's pretty attractive to people like me who still have a launch Switch and might want a "switch"-up.

Try and compete ? They own the home market.....

None yet, @gcunit ... Start speculating now!

wait i just woke up please explain what happened

Apparently it works with the old Switch model but it will not be sold separately. So the second hand market it is!

@ok1 Nintendo announced a new Switch model with an OLED screen

@TheFrenchiestFry So there was a new switch huh? I've only watched the trailer so far but it seems to be very slight benefits. Besides the 64 gigabytes.

@ok1 It's a super minimal upgrade. Nothing really to write home about outside the screen size increase and OLED display
