Wow what a let down. I can see the logic to not create a 2 tier console generation, but the PS4 and XBox managed it just fine so why can't Nintendo?
They could easily create games that scaled depending on whether it was Switch Pro or normal switch without adversely affecting the installed user base.
I am not overly surprised though like others have said!
What's the bet that these will be scalped anyway.....

I mostly play docked on my OLED anyway so I’m not sure if it’s even worth it for me. Although I have had my switch since launch.
If it was a better resolution screen + upgraded hardware then I’d 100% be on it but just for the upgraded screen. Don’t think I’ll bother.
I can see without any further info of the pro buying this then buying the pro when botw2 comes out… so I hope that gets announced before this is released.
Storage is so cheap the difference in storage is like £5.
Will have to wait for more info see if there is any changes other than the OLED screen. Chances are it will be scalped and won’t get one anyway.

I think that when you compare the Switch to the PS4 you are dealing with a console that barely plays A LOT of games at a usable resolution vs a console that was absolutely fine at 1080p for all games. The PS4 pro made the graphics a bit better. A Switch pro might lead to ported games simply being awful on the Switch V1. Games like Doom, the Witcher etc could end up only working properly on the Switch pro and Nintendo doesn't want the headache.
Isn't this just because the original hardware is now EOL? It's not a 'new release' as such, more they had to use different parts to keep producing the current console so they've highlighted some of the benefits that brings. Surely it's aimed at those without a Switch already not those with one looking for an upgrade.
External memory cards are less than a tenner mate, I don't get the big appeal. All in all it's a very lack luster announcement but if your needs are using the portable device going from a lite and it appeals to you that's great.
A large amount of feedback has been that this new model should have been the base model from the start.
Nintendo have always done these regular micro upgrades for handhelds, this is just a continuation of that.
I had most of the 3ds. I think there was the OG then we got the XL. Then there was the 'New' 3Ds and XL which had a slightly higher spec and second analogue stick which like two games made use of.
There was also a few versions of the cheaper 2ds in a few form factors.
I seem to remember there was a DS and a DSi with a camera that came before in multiple versions. I guess technically the DS/I and the 3DS are two different consoles and the software forked the user base eventually.

Wonder if they've improved the wi-fi chip though I doubt it. The current one is insanely bad. May connect at 5Ghz AC but seems to always max out at 60Mbps and this is on a Netgear RAX200 router. Absolutely pathetic wi-fi and about as good as 802.11g.
Original DS
DS Lite
DSi
DSi XL
3DS
3DS XL
2DS
"New" 3DS
"New" 3DS XL
"New" 2DS XL
You'd think I was joking
I'd Just wait for the "New" Nintendo Switch OLED 2DS DSI XL model
There were 10 different versions, excluding any color variations or special editions.

Having gone from a Switch to a lite the text was much easier to read on the 6.2 inch screen over the 5.5 of the Lite so I amazing going up to 7 inch will really help. I have no central vision in my left eye so can only read text with my right eye.
