It's relatively mild for EU and US, but for JP it's a 20% increase. Finally going to get one after the announcement.

They showed some good will towards protecting the local market against blatant currency manipulation but it is an important market for them and at this point it doesn't look like the JCB is going to react. They just "intervened" the Gopher back to what it was a few weeks ago.

I remember reading that the screen is worse than v1, is that still true ?
reply
I have the originals of both, the screen is much better on the switch 2. Don't have any other similar devices or the OLED version.

In the Switch 2 Welcome Tour app they even have demos to highlight the improvement in the screen quality compared to the switch

reply
Yes, there is no OLED version like they later released for the original Switch.

OLED is probably better overall but it can be harder to use in bright sunshine and you have the risk of burn-in if you accidentally leave the screen turned on for hours or something.

reply
Really? They released a second generation with screen being worse than installed in the first generation (even non-oled version)?

We have two switches in our family, both first gen, one usual and one oled. Standalone, usual screen is bearable, compared to oled it is quite bad, but if the new screen is even worse?? I can’t find any explanation for this except of greediness from Nintendo

reply
The Switch 2 screen is way better than Switch 1 non-OLED.
reply
So, they are not soo greedy, but greedy enough to not make it an OLED and later add a separate pricier OLED version.

I have the switch 2 and an OLED steam deck and it's not even close - the switch 2 screen is just not very good. To a point where if you have grey on grey movement you can see visible smearing like it's some old LCD from 20 years ago. When an OLED version comes out I'll definitely upgrade(so I guess the joke is on me, because I'll end up buying the same console twice just to have the screen that it should have had from the beginning)

I'll wait for the Ocarina of Time remake. The leaks say it is supposedly coming out this fall.

They just dropped the Starfox 64 remake news, so this rumor is likely pretty legitimate.

I don't play games much anymore, but that's something I will absolutely revisit due to nostalgia.

For adults, sure. For kids saving for the console it may be problematic.
