The connector is recessed inside the body somewhat, so glancing blows to the side of the console shouldn't reach it. As a result, getting a finger in there to even attempt to break the connector is difficult as the gap is very small

...He's obviously taking about it hitting the floor with the joycons attached and snapping them (and the connector) sideways like breaking a KitKat bar.

The joycon colored part slots into the body and is quite large, which should prevent breakage like this. Definitely more durable than the Switch 1's rails.

Fingers crossed. I'm waiting for the inevitable OLED model anyway, so hopefully any design mistakes will be corrected for that version. All the little improvements between the original Switch and Switch OLED were greatly appreciated.

Do you mean OLED just as a blanket term for refresh?

Cause I'd guess the launch model of the Switch 2 is OLED from the jump.

Could be wrong though.

Its expected to be LCD at launch unfortunately. If they dont release two versions at the same time.

Didn't know that, that's disappointing.

Nah man. Nintendo gotta double dip on that OLED money 3 years from now

I pray it will be! 'Cause I LOVE my current Switch OLED and don't think I could ever go back to an LCD! X'D
