After the Switch OLED reveal, are you going to buy it? Do you already have a Switch?

[Vitet]

So, I wanted to post this poll to see how you all are going to proceed with this announcement.
I already have a launch Switch and it works well. Joycons has some drifts but I have a Pro Controller and a pair of Binbok joycons. With this revision, I don't see much of a benefit to buy it besides the LAN connection, but I have my Switch near my router and the download speeds are not that bad.

But, If my Switch somehow breaks or to recommend someone to buy a Switch, this model would be my choice of course. So Era, do you already have a Switch? If so, do you plan to upgrade it? And if not, does this new model encourages you to buy it?

New additions from the original model:

- New OLED 7" screen
- Ethernet dock port
- Better wider stand
- 64GB ROM
- Enhanced audio speakers

If you have a Switch, this seems like a waste of money.

 

[MWorldII]

Will wait for a real Switch Pro with specs upgrade.

 

[Dezzy]

I only play docked so this does nothing for me. Gonna pass.

 

[Deleted member 3017]

If I can easily pre-order order one, I will purchase it.

Which means I probably won't be purchasing it. After barely securing a PS5 earlier this year, I'm done stressing out over obtaining new hardware.

 

[Servbot24]

I have a Switch. Before the announcement I was fully planning to upgrade. After the announcement I have no intention of upgrading.

 

[shinobi602]

Already have a Switch. I'm not about to pay $350 for some deeper blacks and better colors.

I play mostly docked anyway.

 

[Hippopuncher12]

Day 1 Switch, it has left the dock exactly 1 time in that timeframe. No, no I am not buying it. I do think it looks nice in white though. I was day 1 on any kind of pro though.

 

[Deleted member 80102]

Nope, will wait for an eventual revision with a better chip. I do have the Mariko V2 Switch by the way.

 

[DragonSpear2462]

I will if they make a special Breath of the Wild 2 edition <3

 

[Michael B]

Probably not. It doesn't seem worth it to me without any performance upgrades.

 

[Deleted member 5491]

I mostly play at home so I don't benefit from it.
Ne need for the hassle with buying the new version, getting all my games and my account
on the new console and then seeling my OG Switch

 

[alv4]

I think that it doesn't whorth upgrade it.

 

[Mary Celeste]

Will wait for a real Switch Pro with specs upgrade.

so the switch 2 then

 

[The Deleter]

No, because it's not worth the trouble when I already have a switch that can do everything it can already. 4K UI, menus, or indie games were the only reason to upgrade, but that's gone now sooooo

 

[Mattmo831]

I have a day 1 switch

Absolutely no plan to "upgrade" to this model

Best case scenario, I get this for my gf and hack my day 1 switch

 

[Deleted member 10737]

have a switch, won't be buying this revision.

 

[Indelible]

I will pick it up on day one, still using a launch Switch so this will be a nice upgrade.

 

[Gay Bowser]

I play my Switch exclusively in handheld/portable mode and the biggest feature I wanted out of the "New Nintendo Switch" was a bigger screen with smaller bezels, so I'm upgrading. The improved speakers and sturdier stand are also welcome.

 

[MinerArcaniner]

If I can find a good trade in deal for it, then definitely.

 

[FernandoRocker]

I play 98% in portable mode, so I will see if I can get a nice trade-in deal or sell my current Switch for a good price.

 

[Teejay]

On release day, most likely not. I'll hang on to my old day one switch until the rumored pro or at least a special edition of the oled if ever.

 

[Goddo Hando]

i'm not gonna lie, the moment i see one IRL i'm probably gonna want one.

but until then, i'm absolutely not getting one no sir

 

[xyla]

Same, can't say the OLED and LAN port don't seem interesting but it's too little for me since I buy mostly physical and play mostly docked and single player.

 

[Atolm]

I have had two (OG and Lite) and ended up selling both. System just ain't for me.

 

[Edge]

Yep, I'll upgrade, selling the old one will make this ok.

 

[Nightfall]

I bailed on some Switch Lite deals in order to wait for this. Since it's now a bit underwhelming I'm hesitant on what I'll actually do…

 

[CarpetSalesman]

Nintendo are the masters, the greatest trolls the world has ever seen.

I was going to sell my Switch, so I'm quite happy.

 

[Deleted member 15240]

Nah. I was ready to splurge for a Pro but this just seems like a waste of money for anyone already owning a Switch.

 

[Tbm24]

100% will be buying it. My current switch's reliability is genuinely trash and has lived docked for going on 2 years now. I've been holding out replacing it until they released a new one. Since it looks like a screen upgrade is all we're really going to get here, I'm buying so I can play my switch portable again.

 

[Rosebud]

No and I'm actually relieved, didn't wanted to buy something new for potential exclusives.

 

[LewieP]

Not really what I wanted from a new Switch iteration, and I'd have happily paid more for improved performance/resolution/graphics on supported titles, but I don't own any Switch and have been holding out for one. Might as well get this one I suppose, since a true Pro is likely not going to be a thing until 2023 at the earliest imo.

 

[Anno]

As someone without a Switch this doesn't do anything to make me suddenly want one.

 

[SolidSnakex]

I already have a Switch, so there's no reason for me to upgrade to this since I primarily use it for playing on my TV.

 

[Citizen Rizer]

If I mainly played it as a handheld I might be tempted, but it's almost always docked for me, so this update does nothing for me.

 

[DarkSora]

Mostly played dock and have no issues with the screen in handheld mode so my wallet is safe for now.

 

[VariantX]

Already have a Switch. I'm not about to pay $350 for some deeper blacks and better colors.

I play mostly docked anyway.

Click to shrink...

All of this. I already bought a wired dongle so this update literally does nothing for me who plays almost exclusively docked.

 

[It’s Time To Go]

I have a switch lite, and i sold my regular switch already to make sure i got decent value for switch OLED before the market was swamped with regular switch's.

 

[watdaeff4]

Nope

I buy a lot of gaming stuff but this is a hard pass even more me

 

[Einbroch]

$350 for the privilege to stress about getting one due to scalpers, only to have some deeper colors and blurrier graphics.

Oh boy, sign me up.

 

[Deleted member 36708]

Unless there is unknown info. Nintendo is king of crazy secretive not releasing all info. They haven't said anything about dock mode. It's possible we don't know everything. Based on what we DO know this model isn't for me and my family.

 

[Saint of Killers]

No. I was hoping for a proper update. I will get a Switch, but am happy to wait a while longer now.

 

[Darryl M R]

Nah, I have the GOAT version.

 

[Disco Infernal]

Nope. Been holding out for the Pro. If they made the actual portable version of the Switch nicer I would have bought a revised Lite.

 

[Salty Rice]

Dont really need it but not gonna lie it would look great next to my PS5.

They look like they belong together.

 

[Syinn]

I love my switch but I just don't see the point in upgrading here.

 

[Norris1020]

I have both a 2018 Switch and a Lite, will not buy this right now because I prefer the lite for handheld and regular for docked so there's no point.
However, if this is the final Switch model in its lifespan and full bc is somehow not part of plans for the successor then I will buy one at Switches end of life just for the fresh new internals.

 

[ConfusedOwl]

No, kind of glad I don't need to buy new hardware this year. Will stick with my launch window Switch.

 

[bsigg]

No, needs actual internal hardware upgrades for me to upgrade. I really don't care about a pentile OLED and Surface style stand.
