    Read the Digital Foundry’s review about the screen too. Pretty disappointing to be honest. At the very least, it shouldn’t be worse than the first Switch.

      Why not? If they can cut costs by reducing specs that don’t matter to their target audience, that just seems like sound engineering.

        On release that may be fine, but it will exist for years. My expectation is that it released with a shit screen so they could normalize that price point and then sell a + version in a year for another $150.

      It only costs 500 bucks. And as my friend says, “you’re not going to get 4k gaming for a dollar less, let’s be honest.” So they had to cut back somewhere, apparently.

        They should have launched a switch 2 oled alongside the regular switch at $700. I would have got one no question

          Dude, I dunno. I’m not a Nintendo apologist. I think the price, and their policies are completely insane.

        Yeah, I agree, and from those who have used Switch 2 are fine with the screen (anecdotal, from people I know), but that being said, it shouldn’t be worse than Switch 1! It just feels bad knowing that 😀
