right after they release the switch lite XL

 

*Eye screams in MK11 for Switch*

 

Very funny -_-

 

At the end of the day, this will be the 2DS of the Switch: smaller without using the main gimmick the system was intended to use, except as opposed to it using a very...dated effect that really only was a thing because of Avatar, this is a vital part of what made the Switch so unique: being able to play on the go and on the TV. While I like that they included an actual d-pad so I can actually play fighting games not named MK11 (with its Adam Orth-approved Always Online badge) on the go, the hackability of this really hurts it, and the battery life improvements, while better than nothing I'm sure, still are probably asking for one to carry a fucking brick in their pocket with cables bunched up to essentially hold the falling rock that is the Switch's battery life while playing the Rocky theme because that's what I picture when I see the Switch's charge cycle when it's not being charged via the dock.

But, if I wanted a d-pad for the Switch, I'd just order two sets of grey Joy-Cons (for both of my Switches, one being clean and the other being hacked), and put some skins on them and maybe the Switches and docks for good measure to make my system stand out because why the fuck not?

 

The Wall Street Journal rumored both variants, a powered up console and a more portable console. Next year, we'll see the release of the NS Pro. With improved CPU and exclusive games. A la N3DS. Look at the 2DS and New3DS release dates. The original 2DS was released 2 years and a half later than the original 3DS. The New 3DS came out until 4 years later than the original 3DS. The cycle will be repeated. After the NS Pro, it will take one and a half more years, and you'll get the Nintendo Switch Lite XL, a 9" console, but won't be able to connect it to the TV.

It's still too soon to tell people you'll make a better revision of the console with games they won't be able to get in the older revision.

You could actually use the Wii U Gamepad stand.

If you mean for charging while playing I'm pretty sure these stands for tablets will work alright:

do you think the switch pro controller will also be compatible

The dock itself is the thing that makes the console expensive. If Nintendo included a dock with each of these new consoles it would only be a downgrade

 

Nintendo sells dock packages here so that is $60 bucks less, and removing the standard joycons and HD rumble and making everything to one piece only takes away $40

 

And what does Nintendo's MSRP have to do with anything? The dock still doesn't cost $60 to manufacture, it's not "expensive" for Nintendo to include a $20 hunk of plastic in a bundle when it's Nintendo paying for it. They didn't remove the dock because it's some huge cost saving measure, they removed the dock so they can offer their new standard "gimmick-less" version of their console.

 

I like the green one and might get it, but still considering waiting it out for the Pro and really wish they'd bring back Atomic Purple.

 

To be fair, "Switch Home" could use the same parts that the next gen consoles are using.

Anyway, for people asking for even a smaller Switch... eh. People are already complaining about the screen size as it is.
