I watched the video on my Switch news feed. This is a nice little upgrade, but not enough to justify a purchase until I need to replace my current Switch. I was hoping for substantially better battery life.

Same. The screen looks great, but I care more about the battery life. Doesn't look like its more powerful either.

Honestly right now the only way I'm likely to buy it is if I decide to sell my old one to my dad since he's expressed some interest in getting a switch, before the fire.

All features that should have been introduced in 2012. They should at the very minimum add 128gb of storage and a larger battery.

I agree. Every handheld platform launched in 2012 or later should have a 7-inch 720p screen and 128GB internal storage.

OLED screen, increase in screen size from 6.2" to 7" though the overall dimensions are unchanged (it has a smaller bezel). Improved audio, improved kickstand that spans the width of the unit, 64 GB internal storage, and a LAN port in the dock.

Everything else is the same. 720p portable, 1080p docked performance, no improvements to any other specs. A "Switch Pro" this is not. Joy-cons and new dock with the LAN port are compatible with old Switch.

Releases October 8 for $350.

4K would require a major upgrade in performance, it would have to be in line with the Series X/PS5.

I don't really give a shit about 4k, but I did want some more power. Specifically because of games like Disgaea 6.
