$349.99 is what I saw.I wonder how much more that'll cost than the regular Switch? I doubt I'll get one, though I like the white of both the dock and the joycons...
"Here's your new Switch, it basically just has a shiny new screen and a different mold."
Not if they market it right -> "Available at launch in Metroid Dread White"Can you imagine the reaction from The Gamers if Nintendo did actually announce this during E3? It would've been A Disaster For Sure!!!
Would an OLED screen be bright enough to play outside like a smartphone?
I have a vita: never tried to take it outside. I should give it a shot. I might actually buy one of these if it means I can play on my porch.It should be okay, yes. Have you ever played an original Vita? They also have OLEDs. It's very similar to a smartphone.
But also: you've already got a Series X and PS5, so what you're mostly missing out on would be first-party Nintendo games that run in 4k or whatever. But Nintendo has never really tried to make games with high-end specs like that in mind.A nothingburger. I want to remain a Nintendo customer but they keep making decisions that are not really in-line with my own desires. Fuck portability. I don't give a shit about it whatsoever. What I do care about is getting the best display possible while docked since my Switch very rarely leaves the dock. It's becoming a sigh-worthy experience to go from the PS5 and Series X to the Switch, just as it was to go from a PS4 to the Switch. Great games hampered by tech that was already old in 2017.
Nintendo almost never lowers base prices... Unless it's Other M.I just realized that this update is functionally equivalent to the Game Boy Light, which imo makes it even more hilarious.
I've heard speculation that the current shortages and and supply-chain issues in the semiconductor industry are the reasons this isn't a more substantial upgrade, though tbqh this is fine by me (probably not getting it tho).
Shame about the price. Thought they would have lowered the price for the based model, but no.
