Positive
1) Double the storage
2) An OLED screen.
3) Better audio in portable mode. Possibly surround enhancements?
4) Built in Lan Port
Neutral
1)Better kick stand
It is worth $50 to $60 more.
I wouldn't pay any more.
Still would like to know if the HDMI port is still 1.4 or 2.0a or higher.
2.0a or higher is needed for HDR in TV mode, though is unnecessary on a OLED screen in portable mode.
Nintendo needs an emulator, with a built-in up-scaler, for the Switch.
They had had one for the 3DS, so it should be possible on the Switch.
I'd rather have library of a ton of games to buy, than have a nostalgic, "Best Hits" app.
They should slightly, up the price for these gems, & sell them for the actual target price for people that bought the online service.
I know this seems like a rip-off, but the alternative is:
1)Every one is mad due to a Switch, library shortage.
2)Every one is mad due to a 3DS, library shortage.
3)Every one is very mad due to paying $60 for the newest 2D/HD games. You'll still be paying the $60, just wont be as upset about it.
Screw whatever business model they made with investors.
I'm still waiting for Golden Sun on either my 3DS or Nintendo Switch.
Nintendo should adjust their model more for Supply & Demand, not nostalgic.
When controllable characters are controlled by AI, they don't move much on the Map. The little they do move, the slow jog, never running. I can't swish characters, without negating specials. The Ai from the last Hyrule Warriors Game played better than this.
Please send both Nintendo & the Devs a message, by not buying.
I am begging you all to do your part.
Have them learn the hard way, they need to wait for Nintendo to get better Hardware.
You want "cloud gaming", ask Devs to target Tablets or Mobile Phones; not Nintendo.
Unless it is a game that requires online play, there should be no reason to buy into any "cloud gaming" on the Switch.
I am Begging You All, DO NOT BUY.
Also, please send Square Enix a message too;
by not buying the upcoming 8-bit game final fantasy 1-5 on mobile device. It belongs on the Switch.
Devs need to learn their priorities the hard way, time to show some tuff love.
if Lego Starwars ends up digital only, I'm going to be pissed. Before you think I'm over-reaching, look at Doom Eternal. It got delayed to later fall into the Digital only.
If Disney really wanted to impress us they should of went with a reboot of Disney Infinity, with both StarWars & Marvel.
Another feature the Nintendo Switch needs it is HDR color. Neither the current Switch or its dock's HDMI port support it.
Without HDR:
1) there will be no need for a substantial bump in performance.
2) We would most likely get just a repeat of the last revision:
A CPU swap
A slight motherboard change for better compatibility with the new CPU. (If needed)
@UndoControl I agree with your assessment based on it being an original Xbox game.
However the install base argument is very limited. The "Switch Pro" would eventually replace the Regular Model.
Ever since "Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition", Switch Owners have already had the mindset, "Its no longer a matter of wanting to upgrade, I NEED to upgrade"
Also, this game looks worst than a PS2 game. If I didn't know better I'd guessed it was a Dreamcast game.
I'm still waiting for the classic Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (Zyurangers) skins; Helmet, top, bottom (the pink one had a skirt), & Dragon Shield (outerwear).
Breath of the Wild 2 will be delayed till 2022. Though not a "Switch Pro" exclusive, it will display a higher color fidelity on Nintendo's upcoming revised console. Similar to the differences of how Hyrule Warriors Legends appears between the 3DS & 'New' 3DS, but better.

AM I THE ONLY ONE CONCERNED, THAT THE Azure Flute, WILL BE EITHER REMOVED FROM REMAKES OR LOCKED BEHIND A $25 Amiibo. Perhaps they should make it a save data tranfer feature. People with save data from Legends:Arceus get the flute.

Rtx lighting is impressive, but RTX itself needs some work. Nvidia needs to work on getting it to work better with Layered shading, Water, Fog, smoke, & Grit. I keep seeing Devs remove grit from a game's graphics, to better show the shininess of RTX. Are we going to keep seeing every reflective surface with less detail & more basic shading. Are we goldfish? Should we get over-impressed by RTX making things shiny, when there are other aspects of it being neglected. Don't misunderstand me. I think RTX is a great concept. One that needs some fine tuning.
This may be a half-truth. The game has to comply with Nintendo's "battery life" standards in handheld mode. The game is poorly optimized for any console below 2k. I know this as my new 3060 RTX, FHD laptop, loves to get hot playing it. Perhaps it is not just the Switch port that needs more fine tuning.
At the moment, this amiibo is just fast travel for Skyward Sword, but have y'all figured out yet that it would also be eventually utilized for Breath of the Wild 2?

I bought a Wolf Link amiibo, expecting Twilight Princess HD to come to the Nintendo Switch.
Still nothing...
Waiting for Golden Sun Games to get re-released for the 3DS or Nintendo Switch.
Still nothing...
Stupid Wii-U... I wont buy it.
To the people who are tired of ports from the Wii-U,
I don't care.
Nintendo should give us access all them games.
Unless its a Full-on remake, 4gb+, Zelda, Mario, or Pokémon game, they should re-release the bulk of ports digitally.
Would be cool if the L & R joycon icons, at the bottom of the Switch's home screen, got replaced with a sword & shield upon using them both wirelessly.
Anybody got a list of games with multiplayer support, from the Gameboy Advance. I wonder which games would benefit from such an app?
It would be nice, if they added an emulated HD, "Super Gameboy" (Snes), to the Nintendo Switch.
On the 3DS Gen 1 & 2 Pokémon games are $9.99 each.
They could release all 6 in a "HD experience", collection for $60 to $80.

Re: After Months Of 'Switch Pro' Rumours, Nintendo Officially Unveils The Nintendo Switch OLED Model
OLED to better display a wider color palette in Portable mode, but no HDR to better display a wider color palette in Dock Mode?
We will need confirmation of which version of HDMI the new dock has.
HDMI 2.0a or higher for HDR.
The old Dock is HDMI 1.4b.
You don't need HDR for portable mode to better display wider colors, the OLED is very capable.

Re: Review: Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection - Ryu Hayabusa Deserves Better Than This

Does this game look better in Dock mode?
If so I'll consider buying it.
