Ahhh yes, the 4K Switch Pro we were rumored for ages to get.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

a screen that's barely bigger, oled instead of lcd and a dock with a lan port
no processing upgrade, no added benefits, probably not even better battery life

this blows
64GB instead of 32GB! lol

  • AdenTheThird @ AdenTheThird:
    @BigOnYa My dad recently bought a spare Series X off of me, got game pass, and saw Madden '24 on Game Pass, decided to try it out.

    ...He was a bit taken aback by the 60GB download size. Poor guy's still living in the 90s!

    @K3Nv2 He was looking into consoles for his house anyway (for my younger siblings and himself) and I had a spare XSX and Switch I ended up selling him at pretty steep cuts. I would just give them to him, but I did buy them with the intent to sell them... and college is super expensive.
