Just go for it if you want one. Something will come out at some point but we're a way off yet. It's great at what it brings to the table I wouldn't be without one.

Hori split pad pro. Yay or ney?
Was in a similar boat last year, I'd wanted one since launch but never felt like I could justify spending the money when saving for other things. Finally decided it's not actually that much money and I was commuting for ~3 hours a day where I'd use it so why not.
Then lockdown kicked in and so no more commute, but lots of spare time sat around so I'm really glad I had it. Since owning it I can say it's definitely worth it and I actually pick it up more often than I get on my PC these days because it's so easy. Even if a new console came along later this year I'd say it's worth having one now (no sign of that afaik).
Rumors of a "pro" model have been flying around for at least 2 years with no actual details, so I wouldn't worry about that for now either. Can always sell and upgrade if you really want as with the shortage of consoles I'd expect there would still be decent demand for the regular version.
Agreed. I picked up a 3DS maybe two years ago having only ever had a release day DS. Also picked up a Wii more recently as I had a craving for Wii sports! I think there's always a place for previous generation Nintendo consoles. They don't tend to feel as obsolete as other consoles to me. With the re-releases on the Switch though I can see that changing slightly, but I am a sucker for nostalgia and old hardware.

Sounds like I should get one.
@petridish simar to yourself always wanted one just ended up spending money elsewhere!

Same. Until Nintendo announce something themselves then I take it all with a big pinch of salt.
Both regular models have the same 4310 mAh battery.

I use the Switch mostly with a TV so I wouldn't care that much about the upgrades. I have never felt the screen wasn't good enough when using it undocked.
Soldato
what’s the output on tv?
with this new news I’m not sure if it wait again, even to see if the original switch drops a little in price.

As in resolution?
Anything up to 1080p but often its lower. Depends on the game. All the first party Nintendo games look amazing, BotW looks amazing. It tends to only be third party games that are ports that look a bit ropey as they haven't been made with the Switch hardware and limitations in mind.

Sorry for the late reply, only just seen this. That looks amazing for the price, it has great reviews as well! They also have a 25% off voucher on Amazon right now, which is a bonus.

Must have been a similar discount when I bought it. If you do pick one up, report back with your thoughts: I'd be interested if it's actually unreasonably great or if I'm just easy to please
