a Switch Pro Switch Lite OLED set of new Switch Colours nothingburger anouncement could be iminent

Final upgrade fix

Ah yes, the Switch pro reveal that's been imminent for maybe 2 years now (minus the brief period after the Switch OLED was revealed).

Yeah, it's still coming, honestly, @Buizel .... My uncle's ex-wife's cousin's friend who knows a cleaner at Nintendo HQ said so, lol

Well, there you go. The new Switch hardware.

I'm actually not unhappy about it. It's a very attractive-looking unit, and I've been wanting an OLED anyway. Although grabbing it would mean forgoing some other purchases I've been eyeing. We'll see.

@Ralizah Can’t wait for tomorrow when the rumours start back up.

Hopefully that Splatoon 3 Switch OLED shuts down the "Pro" discussions for another six months.

I don't really have interest to invest in Switch Pro rumour.
If the games have been designed 30 FPS for Switch but 60 FPS for PS4 / PS5, I will pick the PlayStation version.
I'm not sure if the more horse power from Switch Pro can upgrade the FPS from 30 FPS to 60 FPS.

@Ralizah it's gorgeous...kinda wish I had the money to throw at a new Switch OLED.

But yep, here's our "Switch Pro" for now

Switch Pro rumours will probably start back up again soon about a week or so after the Splatoon 3 Switch launches

Are the same people who talked with certainty that there is a Switch Pro a year ago are now making fun of the rumours of a Switch Pro? Surely the lesson to have learnt from that is to not go all in on saying something is definite unless you do know.

Well, I wasn't far off in the end

As someone who argued then and still thinks now new hardware is inevitable fairly soon. I also firmly believe certain "personalities" in this space are full of it. Two relatively popular YouTube channels in particular.

Posting a 30min discussion on a video going private as if it means something specific is something that should be ridiculed

They were correct that a hardware reveal was imminent. They just should have known better than to speculate about it being an upgraded model.

That Splatoon OLED is gorgeous but I am convinced Nintendo will put out one for BOTW2 and I am hoarding my coins until then.

@Grumblevolcano we already have rumors for Nintendo next gen console or Switch Pro, translation: Nintendo new hardware belong to the Switch family, will have suport to Switch current game library, combartible with the current cartdigh, could make games/expansion such as Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak run at 60fps.

I'll get a Switch OLED when OLED TVs start getting affordable.

That's not happening for a while.

What?

@Magician If I'm gonna get an OLED experience, I want to ALWAYS have an OLED experience, NOT just in handheld mode.

@HotGoomba But...the Switch OLED is a handheld-only experience.

Its output and resolution to a television is the same as it would be for a Switch V1 or V2.

@Magician I know, I understand it's...the same damn thing, but if I get a Switch OLED with a OLED TV, it won't feel completely like I wasted money on a near identical device. It'll just mean I wasted money on a slightly better experience on both ends AND a TV that has a better cinematic experience that hopefully doesn't cost the same as a rocket.

Also, and OLED TV will still look better than LED no matter what, so I don't think my logic is completely stupid.
