    Time to save up money to get one on release and shove it in a drawer until a CFW comes out

    Couple notes:

    • The Joy-Cons have IR sensors on their rails, and the animation shows them sliding around. It’s likely that you’ll be able to use them as mice

    • There’s a new button under the Home button and no one knows what it’s for. Every leak showed it had a C on it, but it’s deliberately unlabeled here

      Please for the love of god don’t let it be the equivalent of Sony’s Share button. That thing is such a piece of shit.

        I don’t think Nintendo would put a dedicated social media button on their console after ending support for Twitter, unless they’re making their own platform again.

    I’ll wait for the next Zelda to be announced. If that ends up being another BOTW/TOTK I’ll keep waiting on a reason to pick it up

    Seems like a fairly well-considered upgrade. Mostly interested in the games though, even though a lot of the people working on their games have been around for decades now, with the Switch it really seemed to me like there was a new wave of creativity and talent involved. Like Tears of the Kingdom is a game with a lot of flaws, but its core is so creative and wonderfully playful that it’s just really inspiring. Genuinely can’t think of any other company that could make a game like that.

    I’ll probably pass. At this point id only be getting it for exclusives, of which i only really care for metroid, kart and odyssey 2. 3 games a decade isnt enough to bother with a whole console

      They’re more pricey but there are high refresh rate handheld PCs like the Steam deck OLED, or the Lenovo Legion Go S that’s coming out this month. They’re 90Hz and 120Hz respectively
