A 120Hz Monitor or TV will be essential to get the most out of the Switch TV mode. 40fps work great for PS5 games and I can't wait to try the 40hz mode for Switch 2.
@jwfurness From what I can see from the back end work-wise wise there is a huge drop-off in Switch and Switch OLED deliveries. There are no more projected, so the stock of them shall dry up by June on purpose to push new customers over to Switch 2. The Switch Lite will continue with deliveries for now and has a minor £10 price cut coming up.
Of course, Smyths broke the pre-order street date. Gutted I missed out on pre-ordering one there. I managed to pre-order one via ShopTo during the direct and I was lucky as that is now sold out. I also requested a pre-order invite from Amazon. I got updates from Currys and Argos, but I'd better be on it as they probably won't stick to the 8th now.
9/10. I enjoyed the show. There were some great AAA additions and the performance looks to be as good as I was hoping for. The UK price of the console is good, and while the game prices aren't amazing £58.99 - £74.99 isn't as awful as the $80-£90 price points. The mouse feature has me excited too.

ShopTo could not fulfill my pre-order, Any England retailers got any stock? Annoyed that Argos and Smyths broke the street date without warning.
