Regarding the paid upgrade games like BOTW. Be aware that if you own the switch physical and upgrade it, the game will not have the same performance as a digital, or switch 2 physical version due to slower read of the original switch card. Loading will be slower.
Seriously, why would anyone want to play at 30fps. Also why do games that offer a quality and performance mode usually default to 30fps quality mode rather than the 60fps performance mode?
I’m not convinced it’s happening in 2024. I’m calling spring 2025. I think they will try and get one more holiday season out of the Switch. Switch 2 will release before end of financial year. This is be closer to the approach on announcing then delivering the Wii U. That was over year from announcement to launch. I’ll be so happy to wrong though. This holiday season handheld PC’s could be a real threat if Nintendo delays any further.
@PikaPhantom Me too. It looks like it hasn't gone live yet. I've have been seeing quite a few bugs, where I have to close the game or go back to main menu, which is very annoying if you've just made through a technical section. I hope the Pirate King Quest is fixed. Surprised this wasn't picked up in QA.
The cost between a handheld pc device like a Rog Ally or Steam Deck and the Switch is getting closer. It's certainly cheaper to get one of these devices and source your games carefully, using key shops if you want to play big cross platform games.
If the screen is 8 inches, then we can expect the resolution to be 1080p otherwise the PPI would be a downgrade. Some LCDs look fantastic, so I will wait and see.
I have a gaming pc, PS5 and Switch. I’ve tried the demo on PS5 (at 120fps)and in the Switch and I’ve decided to get this on the Switch. It stacks up really well against other versions and feels good to play handheld.

@Friendly thanks. I was looking to get a cheap switch physical of TOTK, and update it, but I think I’ll have to get the Switch 2 version now.

I'll never forget how Limited Run games fired their Community Manager. So, I'm out. Terrible company.
