Forums - Nintendo - Switch OLED model just got announced.

Where there is smoke there is fire, I wouldn't be surprised if Ninty had a version with new internals circulating but they instead decided to save them for their next gen machine

In Doug Bowsers own words
"Do you want to apply it on current existing hardware or platforms, or do you want to wait for the next platform? "

I was not expecting this today :O

I wonder what the specs are

Same specs as normal Switch, just a brighter screen, 64 gb of storage and better audio. From what I've been able to read. 



Yea big no for me.

What are the specs!!!!

OLED screen, better stand, better speakers, wired lan port (for the dock). No idea about the internal specs, but that was all that was advertised so it's probably all that's worth knowing.

"no noteworthy internal improvements"
Ei. = same old switch, same chip and tech insane.

The only thing they really did we increase the almost pitiful 32 gb storage to 64 gbs.
And add a new Oled + Speaker for it.

I still believe nintendo will launch a "real" new switch at some point.
This is just like... when sony or xbox, does a refresh of a model, like a slim model or add more storage space to models when sold.

Trailer just dropped randomly. Thoughts?

Where is the damn pro that was rumored?
This is just a new Screen + better speaker, and a lan port for the switch dock?

What? This feels like nintendo pulling a fast one on us.
You thought we were launching a new cool switch? ha.... heres same old switch, with a new screen!

Again, I don't understand this mentality. 

Someone somewhere probably connected OLED screens with Nintendo at some point and insiders started talking about a Pro model. It went on to live its own life probably. It's on us pretty much.

The better audio (speakers) is only if your gameing in handheld mode, and same with the screen.
If your docked, those things basically do nothing for you.

64 GB of storage is still pitiful.



So... what are the chances of Nintendo making 2 releases of Hardware, Switch Oled and the supposed "Switch pro"? I believe it is very low...
A little disappointing, some people were putting a lot of hype on the supposed "switch pro", some even talking nonsense like DLSS making "switch pro" perform comparable to Series S...



Glad to see that Nintendo did the sensible thing in every regard with this one. :)

In other words, Nintendo is just polishing up a turd. :o 



And finally this is the big FAT middle finger shown by Nintendo to everyone including leakers so we can learn some lessons... but we never do.
