Nintendo Switch With OLED And 4K Output Reportedly Being Revealed This Year

Laughable! The Switch can barely hit 720p without framerate issues on some games and we're supposed to think a Switch 4K is possible based on the same hardware?

Switch games are pretty much cartoony, so this really makes no sense. Multiplayer games will still play better on other consoles.

I'm highly skeptical. Nintendo never uses cutting edge tech. They always build to a price, and it means cheap screens. I don't think that any mobile processor they will use is going to handle 4K. Again, they will not be going for cutting edge processors, because it's not Nintendo's MO.

OLED is not even necessary. And besides, a 720p OLED screen.. who manufactures those? That is low resolution. It's been a long time since anyone has manufactured 720p OLED displays. It would have been the Note 2 in... 2012?

IT IS A MEDIATEK SOC. It is for playing 4k video ONLY. There has been nothing mentioned anywhere about 4k gaming, as its not feasible and wont be for a decade in a handheld.

4k with 15 Frames? great. No advantage in Handheld Mode? Doesnt make sense to me. The switch is doing good, why changing? We need BotW 2 or Metroid Prime 4.

I just bought my Switch and were waiting for the Nintendo Direct, if they wanna release a Pro.

IMO Nintendo should focus on 1080p and 60fps instead of 4K (with less fps)

"The OLED display panel will output at 720p resolution,"

...

These leakers are the reason gamers cannot have nice things. It's like someone comes and tells you in March: "hey, your dad is getting you a bike for Christmas."

What about a processor upgrade?
Playing games with the same low fps or framerate drops like with the current system does but prettier?...no,thx

I dunno my original switch had heavy analog stick drift from day one and is unplayable using the joy cons these days.

Where the **** is metroid prime 4?

Frame rate locked to 30, 1080p, but 4k with their new external hardware you probably must pay extra for.

Keep making those predictions about a new Switch model, guys, you'll be right eventually.

I'd buy a second Switch eventually, but 4K really? ...just seems like a waste.

Developers are still going to have to fill their landscapes carefully...it's not the resolution aliasing holding things back, it's the processor. So many games are highly stylized to get around this.

Will Nintendo ever come back to making a REAL system again?

Haven’t bought a Nintendo system In over 10 years. This looks legit. They gonna sell a lot of these mofos if it they come out right.

I wonder who will buy it with majority of people unemployed and the World going to shit with this pandemic.

Looking forward to this, I had a full switch at launch then sold it, then regrettably got a lite about a year ago, I’ll definitely be getting this when it happens

Great console. Ive loved my Switch since day 1. It reignited my love for some of Nintendos best franchises. This is great for people who want all that, but my only gripe with Nintendo is to get the ball rolling on some obvious MIA software. Metroid Prime is so long overdue its insulting. Galaxy 2 is a no brainer. GBC and GBA game libraries with Switch online as well as dozens of N64 games. The Switch cant play high end shit but thats hardly the reason most of us own a Switch. Also Im just gonna still semi pretend to be irritated that I still cant change the backround color. Otherwise one of the greatest consoles Ive ever owned. Nonstop fun playing solo and with friends. Theres just something so awesome about whipping the Switch out on a summer evening hanging with a friend, grabbing a couple beers and playing some retro goodness outside. Its just fun.
