The successor to Nintendo Switch named Switch 2 will continue to be a hybrid console that can be played on TV and in portable mode, it will be launched without an OLED screen (it will have an LCD) and it will have cartridges/cards for physical games , according to various sources. Anonymous to VGC, where they say that the device is “likely” to hit stores in the second half of 2024. They add that there are already development studios outside the Japanese company with the development kit.
If this is real fuck you Nintendo, so bull shit for not just making it oled. There’s a $50 difference right now between the regular and oled variant which could 100% just be worked into the new switch pricing. You just know they’re releasing the oled model 1-3 years after launch so people buy again.
I have an OLED model and cringed when I saw it will have LCD. It will honestly probably feel like a downgrade for me.
I already mostly play in handheld just because the visuals look so much better compared to my TV
Then vote with your wallet. Don’t buy something for more money, which have inferior features to the last generation product. This is clearly a case of monetiseing exclusivity and FOMO to sell you something which was not designed to last.
Look for sales, an OLED tv is a life changer.

They are just being hyperbolic. Sir this is a Nintendos.
You obviously haven’t discovered 4k nature channels on an oled then, I keep it on while I work and then look up and see all kinds of beautiful scenery and it calms me. I’m being legit when I say it’s life changing. The reds and blacks are amazing.
Perfect time to buy the switch 1 OLED when it comes out
They probably have a lot of old LCD screens they need to get rid of.
Honestly, I saw that and was grateful that I won’t have the urge to buy it.
Weren’t there rumors that they actually meant to release a new model years ago, but between the Pandemic and the Chip Shortage, they couldn’t get what they needed?
That said, with things like the GBA SP, the DSi and the New 3DS, it isn’t off-brand for Nintendo to release minor improvements along the way.
I’m pretty fed up with Nintendo at this point not planning to buy a new console
I mean definitely fuck Nintendo, but why would people fall for that?
