imthesoldier Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Wolfenstein 2: New Colossus on Switch would sometimes go as low as 360p in handheld mode if I recall. So expect Cyberpunk at 240p for Super Switch instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way does Nintendo drop the price of the switch. Why would they? They are making tons of money off of it. Forget about backwards compatibility as well. As to when we will see a switch 2? Not in 2023 that's for sure. I suspect a switch pro holiday 22 with the release of botw2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way Nintendo releases a new, full priced handheld and then doesn't keep it a priority for, at least, two holiday seasons. Spring 2023 is likely the soonest we'll see a replacement for the Switch. I would be shocked if we got something sooner than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More often than not, Nintendo does backwards compatibility, especially when it referred to their handhelds. I can see them continuing that trend with the Super Switch with a similar style of cartridge, but with faster read/write speeds. At the same token, I can see Nintendo encouraging UHS 2, or UHS 3 Bus microSD cards in order to maintain that similar read write speeds. Heck, in a further future, SD Express microSD is something I could see them implementing once prices go down. For a small ARM-based platform, developers will be begging for better read write speeds, especially now that Sony, and a Microsoft are embracing it. SD Express also uses PCIe, and they start at just under 1 GB/sec speeds. Not up there with PS5, and Xbox Series, but a step in the right direction. As far as price goes, it would indicate a new system is on the way, plus they could sell a new next gen Switch in that 350-400 price point. But sure, the Switch right now is still selling gangbusters, but it won’t last forever. By sometime next year, I could see the momentum to slip a little bit, followed by actually selling Nintendo Selects again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dre801 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Now that PS5 and Series S/X are out, these "Impossible" ports will really be impossible on this hardware, but hey, 540p/sub 30 will look awesome now with those black levels OLED brings.

You can actually get a lot of mileage out of even 32GB on a Switch...since most games bought on Switch are tiny indie games. If you're buying nothing but Breath of the Wild-size games, then sure that'll fill fairly quickly. But that's why you can buy games on cart...! Anyway, while this new iteration doesn't really pique my interest, my son really wants one. I have no idea why. Maybe it'll end up as a Christmas gift for him later this year.

Decided to look on Newegg for kicks, and see how much a standard USB flash drive costs these days, and dayum son, they have gotten cheap. I remember back in maybe 2004 or something I bought a 2GB Flash drive for 90 dollars. Now I can buy a 512GB for half that cost. The big question now is how much is the OLED screen in relation to the older LCD panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raggit Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Bloomberg - Are you a robot? WWW.BLOOMBERG.COM Apparently the oled switch costs Nintendo an estimated $10 more per unit compared to the regular switch.

Nokt Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 I pre-ordered the white one. Pretty sure I won't keep it, but I have it there just in case. OLED sounds nice, especially when I'm playing in handheld mode at night in bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 I skipped it because my issue with the Switch ain’t the screen. I don’t need a better screen to display low quality assets that are constantly being downgraded in Ps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser_Soze Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Quote If you don't own a Switch and you're looking to buy one, this is the one to get. And if you're already a Switch owner and display quality in portable mode is important to you, this is a must-have upgrade. Did we really need reviews for this? Clearly that is the whole idea, a lot of words to say the screen is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I don't think it's a worthy upgrade if you already own a Switch, especially not when in two years we'll probably actually get the Switch Pro or the successor to the Switch which may also be backwards compatible (hopefully enhanced).

I’ve posted this before, but my screen has a scratch on it that drive me nuts. I have almost purchased a new switch a few times just because of that, and I have two different friends who would be willing to pay like a cheap price to take the old one if I get a new one. It’s a total luxury item for me, but the switch is the first Nintendo console I’ve purchased maybe ever when it wasn’t at the end of its life cycle. So I don’t feel too bad.
