Dont get me wrong, it's nice but I feel that it should have gotten the "New" treatment from the 3DS. Having a better screen isn't worth it if there's no added tv enhancements or upgraded specs. I guess we'll have to wait and see if they really did change anything since they're really vague about the CPU.

 

[SaulFemm]

I'll never waste q single penny on it if it doesn't come with a beefed up CPU.

cool bye

 

[TheSpearGuy]

Fixed it

 

[SaulFemm]

they sued TX to non existence so they do care

That's hardly any effort on N's part. They have lawyers on retainer, why not sick them on TX? That's a world away from designing an entirely new SKU.

aula2?

Everybody: Switch 4K

Why? This is aula. Not aula2.

 

[Gep_Etto]

Joycons are definitely not fixed, if they were that'd be a selling point worth mentioning.

I'm nonplussed. My current Switch can run Atmosphère, which is superior to all the new features on the Switch PrOLED put together, so I have no intention of downgrading to the new model.

Well I need another dock....

It's cool. Definitely not what....anyone really wanted, but I guess it's also not their "Switch Pro", so maybe we'll get that Holiday 2022. I imagine they'll eventually either drop the price of the original switch or eventually phase the SKU out.

Unless that "Custom" Nvidia chip is capable of increasing/stabilizing performance in older games, like Hyrule Warriors, I'll probably pass on this.

 

[grey72]

Why? This is aula. Not aula2.

the website refers to it as "aula2", I've attached a screengrab in my last post
unless the 2 is from something else

 

[TheSpearGuy]

I'm curious about the 2

Wasnt there a once a Bloomberg report that said there will be a 7 inch Switch AND a Pro Model ?

 

[BaamAlex]

the website refers it as "aula2"

The website refers webaula2. Not just aula2. Source code from the website, not another hardware or something like this.

Been waiting for this for ages, ever since taki mentioned it on his discord.

 

[Nerdtendo]

Something seems a little fishy. I still kinda think the 4k rumors were too strong for this to be all Ninty has. I remember hearing the theory kicking around that Nintendo is making this for this year, and the revision next year to really extend the Switch's life past that 5 year period. Regardless, I have wanted a bigger screen for a long time so I might end up trading something in for this.

I hope that since it's a big official revision, people smarter than me will actually care enough to try and find an exploit. The only people that cared about Mariko were team X, but then they died.

 

[The Catboy]

That’s fucking year of hype from leaks
