Personally, I think the current Switch screen is as small as it can comfortably be. It’s often hard, even for kids, to see what’s going on.
Yes, that’s the thing.
The 3DS and before had a smaller screens, but games were designed for that screen size.
The Switch is basically to play games designed to run on a TV so there is a limit how small you can go before it becomes hard to play.
A smaller switch would be a terrible idea. They’re already pushing so hard to have mainstream games on the console, and those games have UI elements that can only get so small before they’re useless. You’d have to develop your UI around being used on these tiny screens, which either takes extra work or leaves big screen users screwed.
A smaller screen switch would basically be relegated to phone games, and all other games would lose a lot of detail to size
Plus, the switch is still underpowered by like 8 years now.
Please just give us a Switch Pro or something so that I can play TOTK at more than what feels like 12fps and 720p.
Overclocking a modded switch really showed me what v2 / oled models are capable of. Any switch past the original is being sandbagged hard so they perform the same as v1.
With only a mild memory oc you can get 30+ fps in totk even when using ultrahand in kariko village.

I honestly want a smaller Switch. I would 100% buy another Switch if I could easily stuff it in my purse like I do my Vita. I hate the trend of larger portables, they hurt my hands and make my arms tired. They’re heavier and bigger than I have any use for.
Then get a lite? I don’t understand the problem, there already is a smaller option.
Nintendo will do anything except a Switch 2.
I believe the OLED was actually going to be the Switch 2 (or Pro), but the pandemic made them change plans.
The chip market went bananas, and it was impossible to produce some chips at volume and at competitive prices.
They probably decided to wait a bit, and evaluate alternatives and probably dedicate more time to R&D.
Whatever they do, as long as it is compatible with the Switch, I’ll be happy. It’s one of the best game libraries they’ve had in a long time.
I have a launch switch that I haven’t turned on in about 2 years. There just isn’t enough on the Switch to keep me interested.
TotK? Mario Wonder (freaking awesome by the way)? Metroid Prime remaster? Metroid Dread? Pikmin 4? Super Mario RPG remaster? Advance Wars?
To play devil’s advocate you’ve mentioned 3 remasters. I can see why you’d possibly only want one game on the list depending on your tastes but it’s hard to say there’s nothing on but at that point it’s hard to argue it’d the switches fault and the Switch 2 isn’t likely to change your opinion
That’s nuts, I’ve been blown away by the Switch library and probably own over 500 titles.
Only thing holding me back on playing more are the outdated specs. Enough solid games on the Switch imo.
I’m in the same boat. The performance of TOTK really turned me off the switch entirely because it felt like such a low quality game due to the hardware. Frame rates dropped considerably and the visuals deserve way better than what we currently get out of the Switch.
200h on my first day switch and no framerate issues after the first patch came out, same as BOTW…
This is beyond speculation. Patents often don’t make it to an actual product
