OLED Nintendo Switch Metafilter Post or did I dream it?

September 14, 2021 9:14 AM

I've looked extensively and cannot find a metafilter thread about the announcement of the Nintendo Switch OLED model.

Was there one or did I just misremember one?

I know there was an extensive thread about the SteamDeck and also the Switch Lite when they were announced.

Thanks in advance.

I follow Nintendo news pretty closely and don't think anyone ever made a thread about this (somewhat disappointing) update.

Came here to say exactly what porn in the woods said... pun intended

can one do best of the web for something that's not released yet? "Five year old console gets a new screen" ... hmm

I would be mildly interested in a roundup of why this is good/bad/a weird development in context/indicative of strong market forces making screens expensive/a problem with Nintendo particularly/governed by battery size. I don't know that the announcement alone is MeFi-worthy but everything has a backstory.

Yeah, a general Nintendo Switch round-up would be interesting. I keep wanting to buy one for form-factor, but -mostly- everything I'd play is also on Steam and I've been burned by lack of back-compatibility by Nintendo enough times to not want to dip in. Still would enjoy reading that, though. :)

I feel like there must be a lot of interesting pandemic-Nintendo articles to read, too. I know Animal Crossing got a HUGE boost last year, and I wonder what those people are playing now.

Can we add Ring Fit Adventure and Mario Kart: Home Circuit and the Switch Lite to the list of hypothetically-interesting-Switch-pandemic-Nintendo-adjacent topics? I've been trying to talk myself into buying a Switch, but haven't quite sealed the deal.
