It’s going to be near impossible to actually get one of these anytime near release, won’t it?

Gotta save oled for the midseason refresh

I am just hoping that it’s backwards compatible with the old switch games but I know it in my heart that it won’t be 🙁

Releasing the Switch 2 with an LCD screen would be the most Nintendo thing ever.

Launch Switch 2 being LCD screen only is so on brand for Nintendo I’d believe this 100%

If true, I’ll save my money until they inevitably release an OLED version.

I was thinking about buying oled switch as a first time buyer. Should I hold off because of this?

No OLED on handheld mode is disappointing at launch. Gonna suck, but those with OLED TVs can at least play it that way via docked as a compromise till a handheld version is launched.

Article says an 8 inch LCD display which hints at smaller bezels which is good enough for me screen wise. I care more so about the performance of this thing. Hopefully it can come close to Series S performance with DLSS

Most likely this is so they can release it at a lower price point and then release an OLED version in a year or two similar to what happened with the original Switch and even the Steam Deck.

They could put a literal Gameboy LCD screen on it and I wouldn’t give a shit. The only time my switch leaves the dock is when I move it to a different dock.

Anyways…

I don’t care enough about what screen is used tbh. I just hope it’s a switch 2.

Sigh.

I take it as an indication that they compromised on the screen so they wouldn’t on the horsepower. It’s also an inch larger than the switch OLED. It’s still an upgrade.

I guess LCD for 1st gen, to keep the price mass market. For budget reasons, it would be smarter to invest 1st gen into processors, ram, memory, controllers, as those carry through the Switch 2 lifespan, then secondary parts can be invested into once primary part prices come down. Like for 2nd gen, a better screen, speakers, etc and maintain a similar price point while possibly dropping price on the 1st gen one

I’m fine with this. Our Switch is played in docked mode 95% or more of the time.
ohhfasho
Nintendo hates their fans/customers lol

I would take a high quality lcd over the current oled screen any day. My switch oled makes me feel sick when i play it under low brightness…
