Hmm, that 60 metacritic score for TotK though.

Same individual gave The Callisto Protocol a higher score.

And Arcade Paradise only a 3/10? Alright now I'm personally offended.

@Magician
The site also gave the calculator app an 8/10.
I think they just had it out for the game before playing it.

Exactly, why try to make something when true perfection has already been reached.

@Giancarlothomaz There's a significant difference with the OLED Switch. I'd never go back to one of the LCD models. Not even the Lite, and I used to love that thing.

I have a legit question.

How much air should you feel coming out of a Switch fan (vent) just idling?

@Professor_Plumber not as much air as before the repair... Zelda is minutes away... I need to just forget it and just play and record...

a OLED on a handheld device is barely a difference

There's a reason why I don't agree with the saying "everyone is entitled to their opinion". Because sometimes people are just wrong and the freedom to express their wrongness doesn't really change how wrong they are

An OLED panel, if anything, makes MORE sense on a portable device not less. Relatively speaking the cost difference is less because cost with panels scales with size/yeild. So smaller OLEDs are significantly cheaper per square cm than larger OLEDs. Then there's the battery advantage over LCDs. And in any case, the advantages of OLEDs don't disappear with a smaller screen. We're talking contrast and response times, these things matter regardless of screen size

I guess you could argue an LCD panel can be brighter. This can be true. But even there, we see contrast as brightness not brightness itself. And the Switch OLED panel is plenty bright in any case

Yes, the new hardware could have an LCD screen. Yes this could be to trim costs in an effort to hit an agressive price. But lest not kid ourselves, an LCD screen would be a downgrade. A downgrade I could personally live with given I mostly play on-TV. But still a downgrade

Here here! Listening to folk go on about freedom of speech or how opinions are subjective therefore their opinion can't be wrong is infuriating.

Only a blind individual would fail to see how substantially better OLED is over LCD.

Update your eyewear prescription, yo.
