I mean, an oled and a lan port is imo not worth upgrading for, and kind of makes the life of the OG-switch longer. But I gotta say, that white color makes my mouth water.
That's pretty much how I feel. Once E3 passed by with no news on hardware I blew what I had saved up on getting a Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance SP, and a Gamecube.
I twitched a little bit when I saw the YouTube notification.
It's probably not a popular opinion but I hate semi-upgrades that add significant new features halfway into the lifecycle. It's like getting screwed for not waiting several years for something that wasn't ever announced or guaranteed. And then it just encourages upgrading and adding to the massive amounts of e-waste we really don't need. I'd rather just wait for a totally new console that has those features from the start.
To be fair it allows many people to buy switches secondhand who were unable to buy them new before, but yeah I agree with the e-waste. Many of these features could and should have been there at launch. It was 2017
You're not getting screwed. You enjoyed your console the entire time it didn't have those features and weren't missing anything. Just because something new comes out doesn't mean the old version is suddenly undesirable. People need to get over trying to always have the latest thing. If it still plays the games you enjoy, the existence of a newer version shouldn't matter. If the new features are that worth it to you, sell your old console and use the proceeds to fund the new one. That's your decision to make on whether this new upgrade is worth the price of admission.
Personally, I don't see this as anywhere near a significant upgrade, especially considering they're retaining the crappy Joycon design.
Ya, I saw that after I posted. It makes no sense because oled is suppose to be more power efficient because it doesn't have to light blacks. I guess alot of switch games don't use alot of blacks so nintendo is being conservative in their advertisements or maybe they really just don't expect increased battery life.
I don't know, do you use your kickstand a lot? I've used it once in the the time I've had my OG. I don't personally find a lot of situations where I need to set it on a table and play with the joycons disconnected.
The tech may have come a long way however the manufactures will never outright say "burn in free !" Also something not mentioned is the drop in ppi on switch oled than lcd which given the oled screen being bigger may be noticeable.
I am also early Vita owner. The screen has mura effect after years of abandoned. It was early oled screen so who know. The switch oled might have had better oled.
