This item will be released on February 12, 2021.
I know you can pre-order at EB Games, but Amazon will have free shipping (Amazon Prime is not required). And easy to cancel if you change your mind.
CamelCamelCamel.
This is the RRP comment you looking for.
yes lol
Every console deal has been RRP since boxing day just about.
This hedonistic treadmill is, at the very least, rather interesting.
This is the “looks terrible” comment you’re looking for
in before JV and RRP comments
You are not in before either of those
What's the resale value like?
I would say terrible. Hideous design and switch pro may come out soon. Switch has also been around for a long time so this is just cosmetic.
Is this the same switch pro people were saying not to buy thr vanilla switch 2 years because of?
Wouldn’t it be wise to hold off for the Pro? This thing is almost 4 years into its lifecycle, so a fancy colour change, is to me, a desperate way to get one last push of sales volume. (Have a look at all those black editions by the Korean and Japanese car manufacturers to understand what I am trying to say).
Agreed; $469 for a Switch is bananas when an iPad8 is $499 and a PS5 is $599.
But what exactly would you be looking for with a switch pro? The appeal of Nintendo has always been the gameplay and specific ip from Nintendo. Not to mention that a higher res screen will always detract from battery life on a device of this size so it's not like it's going to be a strict upgrade. There's also no real reason for Nintendo to release a better switch for now because the current switch model is still selling crazy well.
The Switch Pro is going to be a traditional console. Nintendo will have all 3 segments covered. Switch Lite is handheld only. Regular Switch is handhled/console. Pro will be console only. It'll come with a Switch PRO controller instead of Joycons. It'll run the same games but with a new Nvidia chip capable of 4K DLSS.
To me knowledge nvidias entire upcoming product stack will be RT/DLSS capable (Including low tier cards like the 3050, so that is likely.
This is exactly what i'm thinking/hoping also - i only ever use my switch hooked up to my TV and would love to get better framerate/graphics/resolution than the current console is capable of (which is pretty much the same as the Wii U from 2012).
OK Mr Nintendo.
You know what the Switch Pro will be?
Impressive.
A Switch Pro, if it even exists, would very likely just be the same thing but more powerful….
I play 100% docked so battery or screen size is moot for me.
I straight up just want those 60fps minimum to be more standardized and implemented across the board, similar to what the SeriesX/P5 aims to finally be attempting.
As much as I wanted to like games like Breath of the Wild or Astral Chain the hardware and choppiness is just way too limiting, and 30 needs to be put to bed.
I've read Switch pro may only be 4k docked, so wouldn't have any impact on battery.
This would be a smart move, I can't see a lot of value 4k on such a small screen …
If their next console is going to be a completely docked console, I think it's more likely that they're going to opt for a different name since the design would just be completely different. Heck, maybe they'll even go back to the wii moniker.
There's been switch pro rumours for so long that I'll believe it when I see it now
this went down to 300 and now it is a deal at 469? my salary didn't go up by 50 percent in the meantime. so no deal.
I dont understand what your salary has anything to do with the price of the Switch.
lol common is not that hard….
Looks like Spiderman edition
Isn't it?
Amazon around 3% giftcard
Eb games around 6% giftcard
This looks nothing like Mario and is a terrible attempt at a "special edition". There's not print or decal or engraving or anything. The Animal Crossing one is well done. If I were a fan of AC, I would want it. This? This is just crap. And I love 8 bit Mario/Famicom stuff.
Agreed, it looks hideous. Wish it was mainly black with red highlights or something a bit more subtle but still unique.
Preorder RRP. Bargain!
PS5 and XSX RRP posts are fine because they're hard to get and your only other option to buy one immeadiately is scalper but THIS really isn't a deal.
Amazon and Target are selling Switches for $399 right now https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/596446 and paying an extra $70 for a preorder that includes a carry case and hideous colour scheme is not a bargain.
Unless you’re a Newcastle Knights or Crystal Palace fan (perhaps Melbourne Demons at a pinch) and want your console to support your team, this is a poorly conceived ugly ass piece of garbage
