If you don't have one already, the OLED model would be your best bet. This doesn't appeal much for people who already have one. I'm like 90% sure that we're not gonna get an actual significant hardware upgrade until the next console which might not even be backwards compatible.
Thank you internet man. I am very excited for my new switch

and probably the 3DS pricing as well

3DS launched at $250 in both the US and Canada (exchange rate was basically 1:1).

By the time they got to the New 3DS XL it was $199.99 USD and $229.99 or $239.99 CAD (exchange rate dropped).

So yeah it did.

Although the jackasses charged more for the special editions of the New 3DS XL. I paid $260+tax for the Hyrule Edition :/

Wonder if this might drop the base models price. (Highly doubtful)

lmao

Then they'd have to drop the Switch Lite as well.

E: Actually thinking about this, it seems kind of stupid there isn't a Switch Lite OLED model as well.

Not sure how the store will let you trade it in, but you need to have both consoles to do a data transfer.

GameStop will let you do it on-site using their stuff, at least the more rural store I went to did when they brought out the model with more battery life
Ah, that's cool. Never did a console trade-in before.

At least here EB (so same company) let's you buy the new system outright then come back with the receipt and your old system and returns and resells it to you.

Miyamoto would probably say some stupid shit like he always does like how they'd have to completely redesign the entire console from start in order to implement Bluetooth.

it uses bluetooth to connect to the controllers but goddamnit it's pathetic they're doing a boosted version and it STILL can't use bluetooth headphones.

It was kind of excusable in 2017 when bluetooth headphones still hadn't been made the norm. But this is 2021 and most people's headphones are wireless now.

Even so, hacking (risking your warranty and a Nintendo account ban) shouldnt be a prerequisite to get a basic feature thats been available for everything else for 10+ years.

There was a kickstarter for a bluetooth dongle that could connect with headphones. But it was like $80ish bucks or something.

It's a reference to way back on the Wii U when he said some stupid shit about having to create a whole new controller in order to make a new F-Zero game or something.

Sony and MS already showed you can offer better performance on a higher model and acceptable performance on a base model with a shared library.

N3DS itself had almost no exclusive titles either, despite having some better performance in heavy hitting titles.
that's true for consoles like the ps4/xbox1, where the jump in performance wasn't so significant, but the crazy shit people were floating for the switch pro would have had a much bigger effect. keep in mind that people were claiming they'd be upgrading the APU inside the switch to something with tensor cores, which would have made it possible for nvidia to push DLSS to the system. just that fact would have potentially opened the system to many more games that the baseline switch cant handle even with turning down the graphics.

Im glad I didnt wait on the pro lol. From what Ive read this has a wider, OLED screen, a better stand, and Ethernet port, and better sound. Hardly worth the upgrade if you already own one.

Honestly the best thing about this is it negates my fears that BotW 2 will be switch pro exclusive kinda like how they did for handful of 3DS titles that were exclusive to the new 3DS.

I mean you literally can buy bluetooth dongles to connect bluetooth headphones you already have or buy something like the Arctis 1 that comes with its own USB-C bluetooth dongle.

But again it just comes down to having to do stupid shit like that and spending extra money.

E: And $80 lmao, you can get dongles for <$30.

Personally I never put much stock in those rumors. Perhaps they are looking into dlss tech for next gen and that got mixed into all the rumors. What I was hoping for was in line with the other consoles.

Right now I'm getting base machine performance with no upgrade options. The way the switch is lends credence to the fact that most games are made for base machines then boosted for the better hardware, rather than the other way around.

The dongle worked in handheld mode by connecting to the USBC. Do the other ones do that? I dont care for bluetooth headphones so I dont really know much about it.
