Terrible, terrible news
This is not the Switch Pro people expected. It doesn't bring anything special and the worse thing about it - it will make the "real" Switch Pro delay by at least year or not make it happen at all

So it sounds like this improves some elements about handheld mode but not in the zone of being a Pro-style console which plays games better? Which is good. I'd much rather Nintendo make their next console than do a mid-generation update.

but yeah the rumored 4K switch at this point is probably just their actual next gen console

I wonder if the current situation with processors affected this at all. Something like this will be far easier to produce without having shortages

No problem, I was about to make the topic but then I saw your topic first.

Also there's a short Splatoon 3 gameplay footage at 1:42 in the trailer.

To clarify -
It is better than the regular Switch in every way, yes, and if I had to buy a Switch today I would gladly pay $50 more for this version
Also, Internal LAN can be a life-saver for people, and this is by far the best improvement, imo

-Switch Screen 7 instead of 6.2 isn't too much, and it only applies to Handheld mode. I don't know how much of a boost the LED screen will provide
-Speakers... I never had any problems with the Switch sound, and it will be hard to compare without having two consoles side by side
-Lan port - as I said, this one is great
-Internal Storage 64GB instead of 32GB - pointless. People buy SD cards anway
-Wide adjustable stand - I played Let's Go with the Switch on a stand, I found it passable. Improving this is nice, but it wasn't terrible to begin with

So to make my initial post more sincere - it's a nice edition, but it's not what I expected.
I expected something like the New 3DS - a stronger console in terms of internal RAM, graphic processor, CPU etc etc

If somehow this edition won't have Joycon drift
Maybe it will be worth it after all

I'm glad it's not a mid-gen upgrade like DSi or New 3DS. I can safely skip this.

What a bizarre name for it. I guess it's because it's not a major model upgrade but they're still selling it as if it is? I don't think anyone predicted this name at any rate!

What do you mean selling it as if it is? This is like the 3DSXL, where it has a bigger screen at a higher price.

IDK, XL felt like a more important design change. Well, design fix. It looked and felt way better than standard 3DS, and the size increase was significant.

This seems to be in a weird middle ground. The Switch doesn't need the image rehab or sales boost that the 3DS did, and the OLED name isn't exactly full new branding the way XL/DSLite etc are. But then it is more than the standard battery upgrade or wtv, and they are increasing the price for it. Maybe I just don't see it as much of an upgrade because I play mine docked 99% of the time anyway.

Yes, it was
It would have been compareable if this new Switch had the same power on handheld mode as docked mode and had a HDMI output port and could connect to the TV directly instead of having a dock

I like it! No need for a Switch Pro, should just announce the next console in two years instead.

Unless they fixed it in recent joycons probably not, I don't think there's anything special about these besides being white

The changes aren't big enough to alienate old Switch buyers, but they are decent enough for new buyers.

Modern OLED screens seem good. I haven't had any issues with any of my phone's OLED screens and they've been used way more than my Switch undocked or otherwise. I'd hope that Nintendo is using good OLED screens for this.
