If they do put out a revision, I wonder if there might be an option for buying just the core console. No dock, no controllers, and no wires for a reduced price. I'd think more people than usual might upgrade if that was available, and it's kind of a unique opportunity.

If there's no controllers, how are you gonna use the dang thing? Also, I'd hope they'd at least include an AC adapter.

I think they mean an option to just upgrade from your existing switch.

Maybe if everyone copy & pastes this we'll all get ambassador certificates like we did with the 3DS!

No GBA games or anything, just the certificate.

I never played any of the games anyway :colbert:

Hey Nintendo guess what? I hear you are planning a new Switch already not even two years after the first.

That bothers me greatly. I am a big Nintendo fan and I have bought all of your products first day. Whenever amiibos were announced I was the first one on them. I went to Walmart early in the morning to get one of the first Wii U in America (I have a certificate of authenticity). I preordered the Switch when ot first announced and still to this day a proud Switch owner.

Now 2 years later and with a child on the way you announce a new Switch? I don't know what the price is but I can assure you with a child on the way money is going to be tight.

Is this what is to be expected now? Should I wait an additional two years for another Switch? Nintendo for the first time I am dissapointed.

I think you misdirected this email. This is not Nintendo.

Look on the bright side.



I think the revision will be a cheaper more budget friendly Switch since the timing makes sense with the 3DS finally being dead. I’d hope I’m wrong and it’s a Switch Pro. A modest performance upgrade combined with 1080p screen and better battery life would be be enough for me to sell my Switch for a new one.

Isn't it a little early to speculate on anything, since we know exactly (paper rifling) nothing about what a switch revision would be like?

Does anyone else have issues with Switch Wi-Fi? Sometimes the signal is weak as hell and I've got one red bar no matter who I play agaibst, sometimes it's great. I haven't found any rhyme or reason to which I get

The Switch WiFi is pretty drat weak when it comes to signal range. Try moving your router around or consider an extender if it’s a big issue.

I was kidding but there are totally people who will buy that so they can play Senran Kagura or whatever softcore game on the bullet train.

In fact I would go so far as to say that's actually the point of the accessory, but it's sold as a "glare blocker" *wink* for the same reason that vibrators are sold as "personal massagers"
