Maybe it will sell well to those that don't own a Nintendo Switch already but for me, the choice is between upgrading or buying a PlayStation 5 Digital.
At the same price, the switch pro would have to be pretty amazing to make want to spend my money on an upgrade rather than a much more powerful console.
Rush Rally 3 is by far the best rally game on the switch in my opinion. The graphics aren't anything special but the handling is spot on and it only costs £12.
I am mildly intrigued by Mario Golf and Splatoon 3 but let's be honest, we got the Zelda game that most people wanted least and not much else.
All the games I was hoping for such as Rhythm Heaven, Warioware, Wave Race, F Zero, Jet set Radio, Ready to Rumble, Powerstone, GTA, Silksong, Wind Waker and BOTW 2 were completely missing.
While stock issues are preventing the ps5 and new xbox being much competition now, once available and with a decent new library of games, they will be a real threat.
Knowing that many early 2017 switch buyers will be looking for something new, nintendo will want to stop these customers from jumping ship.
I would have thought we could expect to see something mid year.

Re: Talking Point: What Do You Think The "Switch Pro" Will Actually Be Called?
Can't be switch pro or xl as it is replacing current version.
Super would indicate a new console rather than revision.
Must be New Nintendo Switch although that isn't the most exiting name is it.
Re: Switch Frame Rate And Resolution For House Of The Dead: Remake Seemingly Revealed
Can't wait for this. I hope we get the virtua cop games at some point too.
Re: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Receives Its Second Update, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Let's not bother sorting the frame rate, just make it easier for people to spend more money on more choppy content.
Re: Talking Point: When Was The Last Time A Game Cracked Your Top Five?
Breath of the Wild
Ori Will of the Wisps
Hollow Knight
Mario Odyssey
Rhythm Heaven Megamix
Re: Soapbox: Be Happy, This Is The True Golden Age Of Gaming
I remember those 48k ZX Spectrum cassettes. It seemed much longer than 4 minutes waiting to see if the game would actually load.
When the 128k disk drive spectrum arrived, I didn't think it would ever be possible for games to become more advanced.
Re: Random: Check Out These "Mock-Ups" Of Game Boy Advance For Switch Online
N64 games would be much better, even if we had to pay more for them.
The Game Boy Advance was no more powerful than the SNES with very similar games.
Re: Nintendo's Upcoming Release Schedule For 2021 Looks Positive, With Room For More
Positive?
Apart from a luke warm interest in Mario Golf there is nothing that I am interested in until Splatoon 3 in 2022.
Will be getting a PS5 when available unless Nintendo announce something big very soon.
Re: Soapbox: Hurry Up And Release The Switch Pro Already, My Switch Is Dying
My switch has seen better days too. If it dies, I may try work my way through my 3ds backlog while waiting for the switch pro.
Re: Nintendo Indie World Showcase To Air Tomorrow, 14th April
@dugan Yes same game. It is known an Paradise Megamix in the UK.
Re: Nintendo Indie World Showcase To Air Tomorrow, 14th April
Would love to see Rhythm Paradise Megamix.
Re: Nintendo Still Isn't Totally Confident Switch Production Can Keep Pace With Demand
Of course they will say that. The first rule of sales is to create a sense of urgency and fear of missing out.
Re: Every Single Bethesda Game On Switch Is Currently On Sale (Europe)
Found Doom 2016 fairly easy but picked up Doom Eternal in this sale and find it really hard.
Anyone else struggling with this game.

Re: Review: WRC 9 The Official Game - The Best Rally Game On Switch, But That's Not Saying Much
Rush Rally 3 is by far the best rally game on the switch in my opinion. The graphics aren't anything special but the handling is spot on and it only costs £12.
Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of The February 2021 Nintendo Direct, Then?
Also no news of an update to nintendo online with GBA or N64 games.
Or even an update to the operating system to allow folders

Re: Beep Beep! Taxi Chaos Takes Its Directions From Crazy Taxi, Coming To Switch On February 23rd
Crazy Taxi on the Dreamcast was great fun but it is an arcade game and got fairly repetitive after a while.
£30 seems quite steep unless the city is much bigger than before.
Will wait for a review

Re: EA Has Quietly Reduced Burnout Paradise Remastered's Price On Switch
Still slightly overpriced in my opinion. If if hits £15 during a sale I will pick it up.
Re: Reminder: Buy DOOM Eternal Early On Switch To Get DOOM 64 And 'Rip And Tear' Pack Free
Bought Doom 64 months ago.
Not paying full retail price when it is free on other consoles and I gave already paid for the free gift
