  So, in summary.

  • Bigger
  • They put a USB port on top
  • The controls, where removed, don’t need the stupid plastic add on the the shoulder buttons

  Nothing on specs, battery, games /etc.

  Color me unimpressed

    If it doesn’t have hall effect sticks, they aren’t paying attention.

      With the magnetic attachment to the main console, having hall effect joysticks would be basically impossible

    This feels more like a reaction to leaks than a full announcement.

  I dig the industrial design updates. Looks more refined, the bigger controllers will be nicer for multiplayer, and they finally fixed that terrible kick stand.

  The leaked hardware specs, if real, also look promising.

  It’s going to be wiiU all over agian. Lots of people are going to think its just a new Switch Pro model or something.

  If it’s not backwards compatible idk what they’re doing.

  The improvements are good though. I wish they scrapped the joypad shape all together, and the larger kickstand had me cracking up.

    This video confirmed backwards compatibility

      When? There’s no text.

    It is backwards compatible with “most” switch games. No details yet on what most means. I’m probably thinking things like LABO and ring fit will not be compatible because of the controller size difference.

      I hope we get a new Ring Fit Adventure. That game is really fun and I’ve gotten a million hours out of it (and it justified the cost of the Switch, since I was able to buy the game once and not spend a subscription or get ads for equipment I’ll use one and never use again.)

      If they could somehow make one with a set of weights, I think I’d finally get biceps.
