for you, for me, it's half dayEh, that's only a couple of minutes. No biggie.

I'm not even crazy about Splatoon, but I love the design of the special edition, and while I have an original Switch, I could always make the OLED upgrade...I like the green and purple (my custom joycons are also green and purple), but I don't play Sploon.

I am going to decal approach. love it.I'm not even crazy about Splatoon, but I love the design of the special edition, and while I have an original Switch, I could always make the OLED upgrade...
But realistically, I know that the Switch 2 can't be more than 2 years away, it would just be such a waste of money to buy an OLED now and then go and buy the next proper iteration only a year or two later. I mean yeah, I'm assuming the next Nintendo system will be a Switch 2, it might not be, but it seems like a really smart bet given their history with what kinds of their systems and handhelds received directly sequel systems and which didn't.
From things Nintendo have said on the subject, it could be more than 2 years. We can't know for sure until it happens tho. If you want it, play handheld a lot, and it's comfortably within your budget, maybe just fuck it and treat yourself. I'm happy with my v1 but I'd go OLED if I had the spare funds.I'm not even crazy about Splatoon, but I love the design of the special edition, and while I have an original Switch, I could always make the OLED upgrade...

Yeah, I mean Nintendo says a lot of things in regard to this kind of stuff, but just following trends, I'd say within 2 years seems very reasonable. I think realistically Nintendo could just treat the Switch as a series and keep it all ongoing, keep the Switch 1 supported indefinitely, but when your game is too powerful for the OG Switch have it be a Switch 2 game (which would also be fully compatible with Swich 1 games), I mean that's pretty much what Sony and Microsoft are doing with their current and last gen hardware as well. I could see that happening with the Switch as well, there are so many low-powered indie games that continue to release and thrive on the Nintendo device, that I see no reason why that avenue should shut down anytime soon even when more powerful next-gen hardware is upon us.From things Nintendo have said on the subject, it could be more than 2 years.

According to the smart people (Scrizzem and the like), it would be hard to make a newer console with a more powerful chipset that could run current Switch games natively, because the GPU architecture in Nvidia's newer chips isn't compatible with that in the Switch. IDK if Nintendo would go so far as directly commission Nvidia to make one that was, or splash out on something beefy enough to emulate/translate as necessary, but if not we might get a more traditional solid cutoff between generations than the backward compatibility that Nintendo had been known for with the last few gens before the Switch. Will be interesting to see how it plays out.Yeah, I mean Nintendo says a lot of things in regard to this kind of stuff, but just following trends, I'd say within 2 years seems very reasonable.

Hard never means impossible. And if they do a Switch 2 (which just seems inevitable, they've cornered a hybrid market, the PC competitors aren't affecting their hold in the console space), then being backwards compatible with Switch 1 games is gonna be a necessity, I'd be shocked if it wasn't there.According to the smart people (Scrizzem and the like), it would be hard to make a newer console with a more powerful chipset that could run current Switch games natively, because the GPU architecture in Nvidia's newer chips isn't compatible with that in the Switch.
