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.

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.
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.

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.

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?

@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.
@jump Literally yesterday (when the rumours had reached a fever pitch), I saw so many videos talking about how it was confirmed to be happening..... only to pull the exact same thing you've just said. You've hit the nail on the head honestly.

The timing seemed very clearly off for the next hardware to be announced this week given the choice to do a Partner Showcase last week. New hardware and more powerful revisions get their own showcases like the Switch got the January 2017 presentation, the New 3DS got the Direct which revealed Xenoblade Chronicles 3D, the Wii U got revealed at E3 2011 and reappeared at E3 2012, etc.
Meanwhile the minor revisions like 3DS XL, 2DS, New 2DS XL, Switch Lite and Switch OLED only got a reveal trailer.
Switch was revealed in a trailer by itself though Nintendo were clearly struggling in 2016, meanwhile nowadays Nintendo's still doing insanely well so Nintendo wouldn't need to announce next hardware until the big event.
