Welp Super Nintendo Switch Pro model is coming....

[Gizmo_Duck]

I thought this deserved its own thread...

• Nintendo Co. plans to unveil a model of its Switch gaming console equipped with a bigger Samsung OLED display this year, hoping the larger touchscreen can prop up demand in time for the holidays, people familiar with the plan said.
  
  Samsung Display Co. will start mass production of 7-inch, 720p-resolution OLED panels as early as June with an initial monthly target of just under a million units, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing internal matters. The displays are slated for shipment to assemblers around July, the people said. Representatives for Nintendo and Samsung Display declined to comment.
  Nintendo decided to go with rigid OLED panels for the new model, the people said, a cheaper but less flexible alternative to the type commonly used for high-end smartphones. The latest model will also come with 4K ultra-high definition graphics when paired with TVs, they said. That could intensify a longstanding complaint of developers, who have struggled with the difference in resolution between handheld and TV modes and now face a bigger gap between the two

I need to hurry up and sell my shyt while i can still get money for it. I’m thinking they are gonna announce BOTW2 with it

I feel like every rumor is starting to be true now. That whole ‘where’s there’s smoke there’s fire’ saying is really becoming a thing now. Elden Ring getting leaked, FF7 rumors,etc. Maybe its because everyones working from home. Harder to keep shyt under wraps.

Also, i wonder if Nintendo will try and get 400 for this? It would put it at the same price as the PS5 DE and 100 dollars over the Series S

At least it’s actually HD now, I do wonder how they are gonna manage to get something from 720p to 4k with the dock they have now.

720p screen is trash.

4k output when docked doesn't mean a goddamn thing because developers are going to develop for the regular switch hardware. They aren't going to make versions of the game that are set up for the switch pro.

This is only going to benefit games that are crossplatform across all systems including switch, and usually that's indie games that likely aren't even 3D. There's only a few exceptions, like XCOM and Empire of Sin. That's a very small amount of games.
