Switch 2 replaceable battery model in 2027!!

[[Truth]]

Well would you look at that i was correct

All they did was
screws on the joycon slots are no longer under the sticker
And the battery is no longer glued in and just pops out with a bit of force,

They changed the design of the whole battery casing, connector and also of the heat shield.

Man, thought replacing the batteries would be easier like the Wii U GamePad and Wii U Pro Controller had it. Still, that's manageable, of course.

Here's the Wii U GamePad's replaceable battery slot:

There's quite a bit of difference in what the Wii U Gamepad does, and what the Switch 2 does. One is essentially a streaming device, and the other is a full portable console. The former does very little processing, so its design does not have to accommodate the necessities that are needed for the latter, like air flow with a cooling system, a heat plate for helping with heat dispersion, etc.

Have they managed to make the joy-cons so that the little ribbon cables don't get fucked from repeated opening & closing?

In the video posted earlier, the guy disassembles a joycon, the shell comes off without touching any component or button, and you can just unplug the battery

Looks like my left Joy-Con's battery drains a lot quicker than my right one and that's pretty annoying, just means I'll have to recharge it more often.

I'll see about waiting for an OLED NS2.

only available in the EU, not the rest of the world.

Somehow I fully expect nintendo do pull this move. Granted the amount of spite based hardware decisions they do is second only to Sony now.

That would be nice if they did, however we can rest easy that future models and devices will end up complying to this world wide (as they would not be designing two completely different molds and boards for every device they make.)
