Going by various reports, the delay was relatively last-minute. Some heard that it was so Nintendo could buy more time to work on first-party software, others heard it was to avoid hardware supply issues. I'm thinking it's a bit of both.
Put your left hand in the box
i have tiny hands and find the switch joycons extremely uncomfortable, to the point where I get hand cramps after 20minutes playing monster hunter risedont assume every adult has big hands
not really
also it is much heavier
Yeah, that sounds like an extremely Nintendo thing to do.
Along with finding a new way to sell you more Joy-Cons.
In case anyone forgot how utterly bizarre that was:

It's not that much bigger if you're using after-market Joy-Cons that have full size analog sticks.
More importantly, it's a lot more comfortable in the hand.
Bots be feastingA delayed release hopefully means more available stocks to everyone come release date right?
Steam Deck is much bigger than a Switch OLED. Especially thicker.
Analog triggers.I can't imagine a reason they'd let you touch it but not see it?
That would essentially mean there is something new, surprising and very visible on the console that they don't want known or leaked yet, but that it can't be felt so they're ok with people gripping the controls and seeing how everything else is.
But that doesn't make much sense, I can't come up with a single idea of new tech that would fit that.
That "Switch Attach" or "Nintendo Attach" name might actually be real. It could be a console where you can attach a number of peripherals through magnets: joy-cons, a second screen, another console console for tabletop multiplayer, a camera and so on.

Based on the actual podcast transcript shared earlier in the thread, it's just that Nintendo doesn't want to give a competitive advantage to any manufacturer. They probably have lots of demos like that over months to different manufacturers, but CAD files will eventually be released at the same time for everyone.I can't imagine a reason they'd let you touch it but not see it?

On the one hand, yes actually. On the other hand, it's literally one letter away from Switch U 😰This is such a bad name when "Switch Up" is right there waiting to be used by a concept like this.
Where is this coming from? I've never heard about this name being rumored.That "Switch Attach" or "Nintendo Attach" name might actually be real. It could be a console where you can attach a number of peripherals through magnets: joy-cons, a second screen, another console console for tabletop multiplayer, a camera and so on.
A YouTube survey had it along with the PS5 and Xbox series X.Where is this coming from? I've never heard about this name being rumored.
So It's basically nothing.
After using the Steam Deck for so long the Switch feels like a dinky baby's toy when I pick it up.
I mean....it's probably fine, if it's 3 to 3.5 TFLOPS while docked I think that's okay.
The rumors saying it would be very highly clocked on 4nm and hit like 4.5 TFLOPS just never seemed realistic to me.
It's gigantic in comparison. I'm not even saying that's good or bad. But the Steam Deck is firmly in my category of _much bigger_ and your pictures show the same thing to me. Almost nobody uses after market joy sticks. I'm fact I've only ever seen this here on resetera never irlIt's not that much bigger if you're using after-market Joy-Cons that have full size analog sticks.
Shouldn't it be much bigger with that node though?
Nintendo, the same people that would like... literally bolt hardware to reviewers' desks? Yes, I'd believe it.
