No more "New Super Nintendo Switch Pro 4k" rumors around the internet thanks to this official reveal. Nice!

just wait it'll start up again with no humility in no time

its 'faux kay' with Nintendo rose tinted glasses on, and squinting, though?

 

[fvig2001]

I mean, it's not for me but so glad I hoarded unpatched v1s.

 

[Kubas_inko]

so nothing exciting...

 

[linuxares]

Aight this is one console that I def will wait for reviews on. I have a big feeling there ain't no under the hood upgrades

 

[SaulFemm]

a screen that's barely bigger, oled instead of lcd and a dock with a lan port

no added benefits

Pick one

 

[Radius4]

consider this an XL, not a pro

 

[m_babble]

[PhyChris]

[Darth Meteos]

no added benefits

 

[SaulFemm]

They never said it was all-digital. It still has a cart slot on it for physical games.

This model has 64Gb storage. That's what he was referring to.

 

[Localhorst86]

Oof size: large

 

[SaulFemm]

This was just an excuse to make a motherboard revision so the modchip wont work.

Lol, you have an inflated view of how many people are using modchips and how much N cares.
