    If this is real fuck you Nintendo, so bull shit for not just making it oled. There’s a $50 difference right now between the regular and oled variant which could 100% just be worked into the new switch pricing. You just know they’re releasing the oled model 1-3 years after launch so people buy again.

      I have an OLED model and cringed when I saw it will have LCD. It will honestly probably feel like a downgrade for me.

      I already mostly play in handheld just because the visuals look so much better compared to my TV

    All Nintendo needs is a game library subscription kind of thing. I don’t want to pay £70 for Super Mario Wii U Switch 2 4K

      I’ll rather pay once that 10 bucks a month for the next 36 months. I also like still having the game in 15 years, after the servers have been shut down, and when i wouldnt pay a monthly fee
