New Improved Switch Now Available
- Thread starter Mcfrank
- Start date
the retailers in germany are also clueless, earlier this morning i was at gamestop, mediamarkt, saturn and smyths you name it no one knew when they get the new revision, so luckily amazon has it now and i get it on saturday
Posted this in another thread that hasn't got much traction, so I thought I'd ask here:
I bought the revised switch, transferred my profile, downloading the digital stuff.
Quick question though to make sure I'm not going crazy - I noticed that the right joy con wobbles slightly when attached but the left does not - I tested other joy cons and the same thing so it isn't the joy con. It does not interrupt play or anything its just a little noticeable. Is this something I should worry about? Should I exchange it? or is it normal? I looked up wobble and found a whole lot of different info but wasn't quite clear.
For comparison, I tested my launch OG unit and both the joy cons have some slight wobble (the left one more-so). So now I don't know if I'm just going crazy or what?
It would be a bit of a hassle to exchange this unit after having swapped everything over to it already, but at the same time I'm concerned if it is a problem or not.

OK. I have had the Switch V2 for a couple of days now, and I do like the new battery life.
But even thought I prefer the warmer screen, does anyone feel it is too warm?

scan.co.uk have a preorder page up, has the 28th listed as expected date
me neither i contacted the amazon support but he told me i still get it on saturday :(
Well, my order still says 31st of december, as I ordered it when it still had a placeholder pre-order date. I really hope I get an e-mail tonight or early tomorrow, otherwise I'll just cancel my current order and order it again.
I love it but I had a launch model so it's a bigger difference for me than recent owners of the V1 Switch. Now to get my OG Joycons replaced by Nintendo support: I filed my ticket and awaiting my shipping label.
Same, been checking Colombo worten and fnac daily without any luck.
I also had a launch model. Maybe that's why I notice it too much.
oh wow. What a letdown
don't like my new switch. I know over time it will be all right but wtf
eww that sucks my new switch has a better screen....the screen lottery sure sucks here
I never understood this industry standard. In life white is .... white ? With warm screen it's absolutely impossible to have any real white so .... I always put my tv a bit on cold temp ....
I posted an article in a previous thread, but there are studies that warn about blue light.
I don't know, on this picture the bottom screen is with a green tint. To me the whitest white is still on top, even if more blue.
Going by what Erica Griffin said, Nintendo still has some serious quality control issues with the Nintendo Switch revision, which is definitely very concerning.
My hours have been transferring fine. FE I had 15 hours before transfer now I have 40+ and it changed to 20 on time
HmmmMine looks warm... But not as warm as some are saying.
Anyways I feel ya, having to redownload thw vame library again hurts
Amazon Germany said yesterday i'll receive my new switch on Thursday now it'll be delivered today nice :)
So now that you boys have had time with the new revision are you noticing any undocumented improvement? I'm in the market for a Switch and I have two options, buy an older model second hand from eBay or spend an extra £100 for a brand new, new revision. I'm just thinking that money could be spent on 3 games, but part of me feels it's stupid to buy the older model?
Battery life is dramatically better in handheld on v2 switch over OG. Nearly double for the most demanding games. The system runs cooler and uses less power draw also as a result of a more efficient node (from 20nm to 16finfet/12nm).
If you plan on playing handheld a lot or at least a decent amount, definitely get the revised switch. It's worth the retail price.
I'd be wary about buying systems on eBay too. Check their recent feedback on ebay. I've gotten burned on eBay way too many times, including on games. I would not buy a used switch for that price unless you exclusively play on docked.
There is a slight possibility that v2 switch could get a higher profile upclocks for better performance. Its certainly capable, but don't get your hopes up.
If you are going to play docked like 80-90% of the time and you can get it for 100 cheaper on the OG switch vs switch v2, then it might be worth getting the OG Switch, if it's brand new.
I'd probably play more handheld than docked. Brand new OGs are around £240-£250 on eBay, £280 on Amazon which is what I'm assuming v2 will be when it's available in the UK.
If you wanna hack it, get the older model. If you don't want to, get the newer model. Quieter, cooler, longer battery.
I can concur, it's a bit warmer than before for sure, but nothing crazy like I've seen in some photos:Mine looks warm... But not as warm as some are saying.
It does really seem like luck out of the hat. I don't see scanlines, artifacts, or anything of the sort either.
Hahah is this the same youtuber that has bought something insane like 20+ Switches and talked about how poo poo and variable the 3DS screens were? That was a fun thread.
Ordered yesterday. Delivery was updated to Saturday and tonight to Thursday. They appear to be available!
Well, I have a "perfect" screen OG switch and will only switch if the screen is on par (looking for my calibration tool).
Definitely get V2 then. Just remember the entire box is red colored. while the front (and back?) part of the older one is white. Went to my Target today and they have both models next to each other unfortunately.
Pictures are misleadingMine looks warm... But not as warm as some are saying.
after i see your post I go check mine to see if I'm crazy. I do a picture and I'm like oh not so yellow anymore
Then I go take my og switch and check side by side and the whole pictures seems different
Yep. That's the same switch v2 in both picture.
Anyway it doesn't bother me much now.
🤷🏼♂️ iPhone picture. Not touched. Automatic settings.
Édit : oh and off topic, these are amazing triple A D-pad I got

The one on the bottom is actually displaying a more natural yellow light.
Is our sun yellow or blue?
Also: Dont calibrate your TVs for cold (blue) temperature, calibrate them for warm. All the colors in the spectrum will look a bit closer to the ones in real life (if you add HDR on top then even more so)
I don't have to use the transfer method, right? I can reset my old switch and reuse my Profile and redownload my games on the new one?
The iPhone is picking a point (of its own choosing) in the image and determining "this is white". Then it adjusts color temp of everything else based on that. You can take the same photo again and if the iPhone decides the other screen is its white point, you'll get the reverse effect.
Okay. I just wanted to post picture because people though my new switch Was too warm posting their pics. It just depends of the photo actually. But doesn't change that it's much warmer than my OG.
actually my new switch as the same « color » as my iPhone. But on my phone I did change the colors in accessibilityto get more « white »
^ this. Now when I see a cool calibrated screen, everything looks awful to me.
