It's my birthday, and I want the upscaling, the single platform, the flexibility (sailing the high seas), but it's soooo old. $200? IDK

Switch 2 launch: we heard you all say you wanted better battery life, so we delivered, 3x the battery life for the same performance! Get your switch 2 today, all switch games will work on switch 1 or 2!

Honestly that wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

The same performance... please no.

The oled switch chip has way higher performance than switch v1, but its just underclocked so it has the same. You can overclock it so you have 60 fps in the botw. But the battery life and thermals suffer.

Not the worst, but I'd like the ability to have consistent 30fps across the board for all titles if we're going for 2x the battery life. 60fps for the same battery life would be even better!

~~all~~ no switch games will work on switch ~~1 or~~ 2!

This is Nintendo we are taking about after all

Nintendo traditionally has only broken backwards compatibility as part of a major change in form factor. The Wii could play Gamecube games, the Wii U could play Wii games. The Gameboy Colour could play Gameboy games, the Gameboy Advance could play Gameboy Colour games, the DS could play Gameboy Advance games, the 3DS could play DS games.

Given the Switch 2 is still a hybrid handheld, it would be out of character for them to break it.

I'm all for bashing Nintendo but this one is a straight up mistruth.
