@DanManShow YES!! Now I can finally watch my video game characters constantly run to the left despite my best efforts to have them run in literally any other direction, in Ultra-HD!! Good thing Nintendo won't fix joy-con drift -- imagine going in any other direction than left! *cringes*

@SYACVG It's funny because it's exactly what I called for. I was wondering if they would utilize RTX capabilities, because the Nvidia shield thing does. But, really, I'm happy with this. Nintendo hasn't ever pushed graphical fidelity Give me something that can run BOTW1 without lag pls

So Nintendo also increased the screen size. I find most games noticeably lacking in presentation already on the 6.2” screen. Stretching out 720p that far will look pretty poor compared to the standard modle. Amplifying the Switch’s problem with rendering anything close to 720p.

Once again Nintendo doesnt follow the "If it isnt broken, dont fix it" lmao Instead its "If it isnt broken, fix it"

Like the upgraded screen, better stand and LAN cable were all needed from the start so either Nintendo hasn’t had the hardware capabilities OR they’re just having to delay until their lagging hardware can catch up and have less features from the start but it works better.

@Jules3324 @NintendoAmerica The extra power was going to be optional, the problem isn't that Switch games don't have enough graphics the problem is the Switch doesn't render them well enough or consistently. You could have played BotW2 and have it look like BotW1 it would just look better on the Switch Pro.

I wonder how many Nintendo fans know what a LAN port is and how many people will still use Wireless and STILL complain about the lag. Just plug in a wire bro it's not hard.

@Trebed_ @NuKE_M8_ @NintendoAmerica It would also require them to admit there is an issue, but since they’ve been sued over it, admitting an issue would mean losing the lawsuit

The ******* AUDACITY of Nintendo to announce a new Switch model and not use it as an oppertunity to address / fix the huge and universal drift issues with their joy-cons is ludicrous

@Nickachu_Knight @MetalJesusRocks You know, I did not think about it before. But I could see this new Nintendo switch being perfect to play Link's Awakening with. I always had trouble with the colors in that game with the average switch. But this one. It kind of makes me think and now. Maybe I'll grab it next yr

@andrearene The joy cons messing up isn't a Nintendo only issue even PS5 are going out its only because no one is using decent enough parts to keep from happening. @IGN had a good video they put put about this issue a while back.

Considering even Nintendo’s flagship games have had performance issues since the Switch launched (see BotW in docked mode) its not surprising people are disappointed by today’s announcement regardless of what the rumor-mill was putting out.

What’s with the “we expected performance enhancements on the Nintendo Switch” brigade? It has had no performance issues at all. Unlike mobile phone companies, Nintendo likes to stick with what works.

@Magma743 @NintendoAmerica really only if you buy it second hand, as the price difference is more than the accessories cost buying a battery powered device second hand comes with its own problems (some come with blown up batteries or ones that have been on charge for 4 years straight)

@rocobonnaro1003 I expected nothing from Nintendo as that's pretty much all you ever get, and look what happened. They are still light years behind in technology and business practices, not working with streamers or creators at all and making things difficult. Need to modernise/adapt ASAP.

Minimal effort from Nintendo to cash in on a platform in its twilight years of relevance. The current model’s display is atrocious so I’m glad they are fixing that some…many problems will be worse on this bigger screen. Switch needs a complete overall to matter with next gen.

The Nintendo Switch has had so many design problems since launch and none of them were addressed via updates and the Nintendo Switch OLED doesn’t fix any of them.

@NintendoAmerica The bigger screen is cool, but I don't think it'll be worth upgrading my Switch for this model. Was hoping for something more based off of the rumors, but meh. My Switch is still fine for what I play. Now if Nintendo could fix the Joy-Con drift issue permanently, that'd be cool.

@Ophiolith The “New” Nintendo 3DS that locked software out if you didn’t have the best machine was pretty shady, I’ll agree. That said, I was at LEAST expecting a #Joycon fix. Those things are SO prone to faults, I’ve had three individual buggered ones.

@RTGameCrowd @NintendoAmerica It's debatable to call this an upgrade when it will only allow you to see the bad framerate, draw distance problems and other performance issues, in handheld mode more easily. I think a worse screen would actually make the terrible performance less noticeable.

@BootlegTj @Blaz3Gam3r77 @sorola The problem is we just accept Nintendo being a console behind like it's fine, when as consumers we should be demanding for them to put out the best possible product, not something that's just okay.

@IntroSpecktive Blame all the new card manufacturers. Nintendo had production issues on their regular switches because of them(heck Sony and Series X are still goin through it). It seems like Nintendo may just be waiting out for them to get something together
