*** Nintendo Switch ***

People on the internet get offended too easily.

I'm afraid offended would suggest an emotive response which I rarely have to anything. I am simply questioning your logic.
Your response would infact suggest you are the one who ended up getting their jimmy's rustled

It is a brilliant 2D Mario with very inventive and interesting levels.

I have it on Wii U and enjoyed it a lot.

The switch was on the AMD Z1 page a few days ago for some reason but then removed... https://www.amd.com/en/processors/ryzen-z1

I'd guess that's just a placeholder image, the right hand one is the Asus ROG Ally which runs the AMD Z1

Switch 2 with Z1 would be an instant buy for me.

I'm sure it'll be announced by the end of the week. I just picked up the Zelda TOTK OLED ....

As someone commented to me last week, are Nintendo really going to ditch an ARM CPU for their next handheld? and basically throw away compatibility with the Switch back catalogue?
I can't see it myself, back compatibility has become something of an expectation now in consoles.

Also I appreciate that even v the likes of Valve or Asus Nintendo are going to have massive buying power when it comes to an SoC - presumably getting them cheaper but can we really see them pricing a Switch 2 anywhere close to $600?

 

[Plainsong]

Not a chance on it selling at anywhere near that price.

Backwards compatibility with original Switch games is a must - otherwise Nintendo face another Wii U scenario. The Asus ROG Ally shows us what the market is capable of producing with respect to handhelds. I think the Switch 2 will be in the same ballpark cost wise as a PS5 or Series X.

Thinking of picking up a Zelda switch, but heard there is issues with green tint on the screens of a lot of them ?

Edit, at certain brightnesses.

Only had mine for a day but I don't see any tint issues with or without a screen protector.

Can't say i've noticed any tint - is there a particular brightness it's supposed to be apparent at?

I can’t recall exactly. I saw a thread on Era regarding it. Seems to be only on black screens it’s visible.

It’s a minor issue and probably wouldn’t truly bother me tbh.

I know several people who own the Switch OLED and none of them have mentioned a green tint as an issue. It probably affects only a tiny percentage. I wouldn't let this stop you getting the TOTK OLED.

*You owe me a few £££ Nintendo*

Gonna pick one up. My ageing switch needs replacing tbh. Or do I wait for the inevitable refresh / new switch 2

If it's just to play Zelda totk then maybe don't bother upgrading.

 

[Plainsong]

I am tempted to get one as well as my OG Switch is showing its age now. Though I probably don’t use it enough to justify it.

Honestly.. yeah it’ll be for Zelda only. So I may just wait. It surely won’t be far off now.

I’ll be gutted if it isn’t BC I’ve bought a ton of digital Switch games since launch.
