Where was it confirmed that its not OLED?

"Some of the earliest Switch 2 rumors and leaks were about the console's screen. Would it feature an LCD or an OLED screen? A Bloomberg report from January 2024 suggested the Switch 2 would have an 8-inch LCD screen. That's bigger than Nintendo's original Switch, which had a 6.2-inch display. The OLED Switch, which debuted in 2021, has a 7-inch screen. The Switch 2's 8-inch screen makes it bigger than both the Steam Deck's original and OLED models. With the larger screen, it was expected that the Switch 2 itself would be bigger, too."

Idk. I barely used the first Switch. And with Xbox releasing a handheld and the many more coming out now, I don't see myself in the market for such a likely underpowered device. 

 

I will probably purchase for collection purposes.

Yes, when there is a Pokemon special edition or OLED 

Legends ZA is coming.

Most likely not. Portable gaming doesn't appeal to me.

He'll yess, with backwards compatibility. I'm going to be giving my younger cousins my two oled switches and switching out for this, then replaying BOTW, LA, TOTK, and SV nuzlock.

If it drops with a new mainline Mario or Pokémon game of course! 

[Ewan Chaos]

Definitely, I am a Nintendhoe after all.

 

I'll probably get it day 1 knowing me, but I'm not sure if I'm excited enough to do so with so little information at the moment. I need that April direct to really show exciting stuff to get me on board for a definite day 1 purchase, since I'm sure the Switch 1 will keep getting games, at least for the rest of 2025.

 

Also assuming that it'll be going back to LCD which would be a huge bummer since the OLED was a massive gamechanger for portable play.

No I play on my PC with better graphics and a wider selection of games.

I don't go on planes. I have a desk.

Maybe 2K but definitely not 4K 

[Miles.]

Yes, of course!  I see Mario Kart, I buy, simple as that  

[exfactor003]

definitely not on release day, but probably eventually, especially if they come out with a Super Mario Odyssey 2.

[DirtyPony87]

Day 1

[Bloodflowers.]

Can't play The Sims 4 on that, so no
