Shouldn't you wait for the Switch Pro to make this thread? A battery upgrade by itself isn't gonna make most people sell their switches.
Grayson Campbell
Why do I need a battery upgrade when I only used my hacked Switch while docked?
Angel Baker
I'm much more interested in the Switch Lite. Whenever the Pro version comes out I'll probably get that too.
Kayden Myers
>no docking it's a downgrade honestly.
Ryder Perez
this isn’t the switch lite
James Morgan
>He's not going to buy a Switch Lite, Switch refresh, and several different colors of each THEY'RE JUST SO FR*KING COLLECTIBLE! I DON'T KNOW IF I SHOULD GET THE DRAGON QUEST SWITCH OR THE POKEMON ONE! AAAAAAA I'M JUST GOING TO BUY BOTH!!!
>bought Switch at launch >going to sell that Switch for this revised version
Elijah White
>implying its only a battery upgrade
nah we know nintendo wont tell us everything, battery thing is just the hook. Expect: -better performance on current and future games -decreased loadtimes -fixed joycons drift
Dominic Hernandez
based
Gabriel Morgan
>he bought a Switch that has the hardware based exploit patched
How the fuck can you people sell your switch when you lose all progress in any game that doesn't have cloud saves? like splatoon
Adrian Watson
>stick drift on joycons is still a rampant and inevitable problem Keep waiting.
Luke Cook
>There are people out there who bought a wii u AND a switch at launch
ahahahahhahaha
Adrian Brooks
>he missed out on all the hype the past 2 years I mean, sure, you can get the best hardware by waiting. But you miss out on everything. We already been making great memories with the community and games while you gotta play catch up.
Just like you would get the best 3DS hardware by waiting until the gen was over, but everyone already moved on by thenZ
Caleb Gray
>bought Switch at launch >go to walmart to buy new improved Switch >go home, switch the Switches in the box and return the next day

i absolutely would, it's about the only thing i wish the switch had

OP isn't going to buy the next iteration. He's just falseflagging. Otherwise he's a retard for waging consoles against people buying different versioms of the same console. No one can be that stupid and childish, can they?
Evan Morales
What do you mean with hacked. Does it have emulators?
I don't really care about new games but I'd like to play games up to the gamecube on the go with actual buttons.
Jayden Morales
I expect decreased load times, but better performance will probably need to forcibly be done by overclocking via homebrew, similar to the New 3DS.
Samuel Price
>imagine not being able to imagine being away from a power source for more than 9 hours maybe you should get one
Jace Barnes
Hey a reddit thread told me not to feel bad about it!!
Carson Gomez
If its just a battery upgrade then who gives a shit? My Switch stays docked 99% of the time.
t. Regular Switch KEK, thanks for betatesting for us Litechads.
Brayden Flores
I'm going to get the pro version. In addition to playing everything two yeara earlier I get a new and improved Switch. Feels good to have income.
Cooper Collins
Yea Forums before: >WHO CARES ABOUT THE FUCKING PORTABILITY LMFAO ONLY SOI LOSERS USE PORTABLE GAMING Yea Forums today: >OH MY GOOD TENDIES BTFO HHAHAA THE NEW ONE HAS MORE BATTERY LIFE OH NO NO NO
Chase Bennett
NOOOOO THAT IS FRIGGIN CRINGE AND FUCKING ONIONS IT IS SO SSOOOOY FUCK YOU PIECE OF SHIT STOP ENJOYING THINGS
Austin Hughes
Pretty much. Like I said earlier, it's just console warriors pretending like they waited for a Pro or Lite version. No one is seriously dumb enough to feel competitive over what version of a console they buy. Not even snoys did it when PS4 Pro came out.
Gabriel Carter
When does the Switch Lite go up for pre-order?
Brandon Nelson
The first release of the switch has a hardware exploit that allows for easy CFW
Henry Taylor
gamecube emulator is still pretty bad on the switch, but the PSP one is fantastic
Gavin Smith
>When does the Switch Lite go up for pre-order? this year, wh*Te boi
What about SNES and GBA? Those are the ones I care about most.
Juan Nguyen
$200
Kevin Reyes
I guess they are just cutting some corners to keep the production cost as low as possible for that sweet $$$.
They don't care about the ~10.000 lost sales when they make 1% more money on a unit sold.
Basic economics my man.
Jeremiah Myers
It supports SNES, GBA, Genesis, even 64, PS1, PSP
Jeremiah Perry
those work very well
for portables, everything up to the PSP is working, except for the DS which is still in development
for home consoles, everything up to the dreamcast works. The development seems to be focused on the gamecube and the wii atm
Jackson Hernandez
Just give me the fucking Docked Switch Pro with higher resolution, better framerate, and faster load times. Portability can fuck right off with virgin manchildren on their commute to fucking McDonald's.
The switch lite is gonna flop so fucking hard. The only advantage it has now is the price, but you can get a used Switch on Ebay or CL or other websites for about the same price or even less (with the ability to dock). The $100 price difference is fucking obsolete when people can just get a used Switch from other people.
Nintendo will be losing so much money from their stupid bullshit decisions. Fuck the Lite, release the Pro version and get back on track. Seriously Nintendo come the fuck on...
Once again OP's mouth is open and the cock in his mouth's too big so he's gagging on it, I can pirate on my launch Switch and you already can't on newer models because of the hardware vulnerability being software-locked. Jesus fuck what compelled you to make a post like that.
>That one dude that dropped a Alpha DC emulator that is kinda buggy but has surprisingly good comparability and then he dissapears and we haven't heard him in a month not even a single post to indicate he's still working on anything
Matthew King
>just a batter upgrade couldn't you just buy the extended batter separate and replace the stock one?
Matthew Gonzalez
the gains do not come from the battery
rather, it seems that it is the processor or whatever that consume less power while retaining performance
Lucas Hill
The battery is from more efficient ram and a more efficient optimised lower voltage Tegra X1. Same battery.
I see. So literally nothing and the can be replicated by buying a 50 dollar battery bank?
Justin James
I still won't buy one until there's a joycon that has both rumble and d-pad, whether it's official or third party.
Xavier Smith
You're still paying for a hardware revision either way, and depending on the part you're upgrading and how far up you're trading-in it can be just as expensive as a full console. If I wanted PC parts I'd buy PC parts.
Jonathan Torres
no physical copies, i'll eventually switch to PC when consoles go digital only in a few years, but i will be exclusively pirating
Hudson Garcia
switch lite is for low muscle mass manlets that cant handle the original.
Luis Ward
I already have a PC. It's not much different. You still have to upgrade CPU/GPU.
Daniel Phillips
So why gimp switch lite with a smaller battery when the new chip proves it can get the switch to last 5-9 hours with the of battery?
Which system are buyers expected to get here? The one with better form factor or the one with better battery? Why wasn't the Switch Lite both?
Leo Roberts
Okay wojak, it's time for bed. Don't shitpost all night or you'll be too tired for summer school tomorrow.
Gabriel Brown
Why would you buy this version knowing there is a pro version coming? When the pro is announced I buy that and hack my Day 1 Switch with a paperclip, use that for homebrew and pirate and whatever and use the new Switch for whatever I want.
Switch Lite appeals to people who just wanted a handheld console and didn't use the docking system, also the joycons are integrated into the device itself which is a nice touch, plus it has an actual d-pad and not those shitty replica C buttons or whatever. You're not looking at the demographic for the Switch Lite. Not to mention it's less bulky and smaller, so it's more convenient to pack or travel with. Honestly the Switch Lite has a lot of things the original switch doesn't have. Some people really like the fact that it has an actual d-pad. That's a big deal for some people.
I have an original Switch and it was fine, but I still like the Lite design more. Looks a bit sleeker to me, so enjoy your bulky paperweight.
Josiah Barnes
Because the Pro version is very likely very far off, if it even ever comes.
James Walker
>I have an original Switch >lol enjoy your paperweight Sure you do
Jonathan Harris
>want to buy a Switch >all games are $79.99+ 15% sales tax >they never lower in price
The target audience of the switch lite are children whose parents didn't want to shell out $300 for their kids new handheld you autist.
Luis Wood
uh oh... looks like soi products also inhibit the production of braincells
Asher Brooks
So let me get this straight: Old version switches will 100% be hackable no matter what, right? No matter the OS revision?
Isaac Brooks
If you're comfortable pulling apart a joycon and reassembling it spring for one of those joycon shells that have a d-pad on it. It's honestly the same thing, that Hori d-pad left joycon has the same four-button input and the only difference is it's one big cross-bar button.
Easton White
move to a first-world country
Bentley Price
Yes, launch-era Switches are 100% hackable any time and anywhere. Whether CFW is compatible with the most recent system version is another story, but the actual exploit will never stop working unless you fuck up contact-pins or something.
Andrew Nelson
Switch Lite is going to be smaller and less bulkier than the OG Switch. Thus I am correct in saying you basically have a large paperweight. It reminds me of when they made a 3DS and I still had my giant ass bulky original DS. Nothing was wrong with it, but the 3DS made it look like a paperweight. Same concept for the Switch frankly.
Dominic Anderson
What is nintendo thinking? They're thinking how their customers are NOT thinking and will buy literally anything as long as its by nintendo.
Joshua Ortiz
Next year is right around the corner.
Zelda 2020.
Adrian Jackson
It's only a paperweight if you can't play vidya on it. That's literally why anyone calls a console or handheld one. It still has vidya at the end of the day.
Aiden Green
Can I still play online if I buy the games I want to play?
Once it starts to actually become worth it to hack the Switch, i'll get the battery upgrade one and do a system transfer. My current switch is permanently hackable so i'll re purpose it for that.
Dylan Turner
I want to say emunand solutions work (the emunand will be banned but not your base firmware), but I've never actually tried any of them. Running just CFW, you'll be banned in very short order, Nintendo's online security is actually rather robust with the Switch.
Wyatt Jackson
>drifts
LOL
Jack Smith
the Switch still sucks because you can't connect a power cable and not have it in the way since it's a usb port unlike the GBC
I have my hacked switch and will get every game for free. Suck my literal nuts.
Currently playing hollow knight. I just used a pendant to enter some area east of fungal wastes. Am I even supposed to know where I'm going? Am I supposed to know what's going on?
Hudson Sullivan
Is the "original model can be hacked" argument really valid? My understanding is that pretty much the only way to make unhackable hardware is to make so irrelevant no one even wants to hack it. It can be assumed all the newer models will be hackable at some point, right?
Logan Evans
No physical Higher upfront cost You can’t take it with you Miss out on exclusive/ have to wait 3-7 years for an exclusive game to be emulated and even then it might not run right or have awkward glitches not present in the base game
Buying 6 Switches over 4 years is “cheaper” instead of dropping 2000$ now and it lasting for 6 years
It’s the same price but a normie can handle 300$ here 200$ there 80$ over there instead of 2000$ right here right now
William Allen
dont cry little girl
Asher White
no
Grayson Thomas
Use the voucher 100$ for 2 games is infinitely better than 160 + 15% tip
Lucas Martinez
If you subscribe to the theory that "literally everything can be hacked" then yeah, eventually new models might get hacked. But Nintendo had their security on lockdown for the switch. The only reason the hackers managed to win was a flaw in the hardware, not the fort knox software. Hackers even boasted that there was literally nothing Nintendo could do since it was a hardware exploit, yet it didn't take Nintendo that long to come up with an apparently ingenious way to ipatch hacked switches or whatever. Hackers got around THAT but now it's the typical cat and mouse when hackers thought they were invincible.
Cooper Bell
>No one is seriously dumb enough to feel competitive over what version of a console they buy
Except the PS3, which originally actually played PS2 games. Then emulated the process. Then didn't do it. Because fuck you, that's why.
My switch hardly ever leaves the dock so a better battery means nothing to me.
Jaxson Long
They're thinking about the mad xmasbux they made when they released that 2ds thing.
Isaac Gray
You're forgetting that none of these revisions are actually necessary and that almost every time the games have to be playable on all versions. I suppose they could go the 3ds route and release an upgrade that actually has a few exclusives, but that still isn't the same as buying every new version.
Michael Smith
I’m getting the Banana phone switch lite and Sword and shield lite while repurposing my OG switch to a PS2 emulator Nocturne, DBZ BT3 and GTA SA here I come
John Jenkins
But how come they've never managed to create a console that can't be hacked? Or have they?
The lack of backwards compatibility these days really fucking sucks.
John Walker
Eh I’m getting the lites because ex-3DS collector fag and I like the option of switching out what color I want today
Cameron Hall
How important is buying a Pro controller? And how is the Splatoon 2 playerbase. That game was one of the main reasons I wanted a Switch. I don't want to buy one in a month only for the game to be dead as dirt.
Oliver Walker
maybe when the Switch is in its twilight years
Carson Gomez
Yeah, as of now I think just about every console of significance has been hacked. But nintendo went hard into the software engineering to lockdown switch. It's probably also the reason they don't have basically ANY apps like netflix and it took forever for youtube to happen. New switches may get hacked, but it will likely take a LONG time, and hackers are probably focused on the older models anyways.
Pirate fatigue. I always get bored of a console once I hack it and get all the games for free. I end up just hoarding games I will never play. When I buy games I normally tend to finish them. That's why I stopped pirating on PC.
Ian Barnes
>He waited to buy an unhackable Switch Enjoy paying for games like the cuck you are
Gabriel Russell
Don't project your retardation onto me.
Henry Hall
Fire Emblem, Binding of Isaac, Minecraft, Xenoblade and lots of games that run better like Hyrule Warrior and Donkey Kong for example
Brody Evans
I dont use my Switch as a handheld so why should I care?
Jack Morgan
What about the drift? There are still a lot of theories on what's going on, but we have yet to hear the official explanation.
Lincoln Edwards
>Bought a launch edition switch >Can pirate every single title released and every single title that will be released on it Why would anybody ever choose a few more hours of battery over literally the entire Switch's lifetime of games for free?
Jack Robinson
How is the drought treating you all? I’m kind of new to gaming and unfamiliar with the history, you could say. Is it normal for consoles to have such long periods of time without exclusives?
How stable/solid (not 3rd-world-tier experience) are the n64/ps1 emus? Fuck now I want a switch. Can you play with a controller that doesn't suck though?
Jordan Rogers
Hardly any better in Ontario with our 13% GST+PST bullshit. At least in Quebec you have some beautiful and livable cities. Toronto is only a nice place if you're making 100k+
First off you're a faggot. Second off exclusives don't fucking matter. Just play video games.
Brody Cook
I actually have onions friends who are like this. It's fucking sad seeing them go from normal looking white dude who plays games, to beta bitch consumerist. Like a fucking demon possession.

Why would I care for or need a battery upgrade when I never play the game in handheld mode? Hell, I don't even remember the last time my Switch left its dock.
Now, if the new Switch allowed for better performance and boosted framerates by like 50%, then I'd be pissed and feel buyer's remorse.
David Lee
Yeah, it’s not uncommon. Sony, for instance, hasn’t had a worthwhile exclusive since Talladega Nights

it's not a battery upgrade, it's a dye-shrink. When transisters are closer together they're more efficient and don't use as much power.

The switch is shit in many ways but as far as consoles go it's the only one I'm playing right now, which honestly says a lot.
>Is it normal for consoles to have such long periods of time without exclusives? it is this gen. PS4 has had a drought since Bloodborne and XBO is skipping this generation entirely, its first exclusives are already being moved over to Scarlett. Console games are dead user.
>the new models can't be hacked right now. true >and you can always install a better battery cuck wrong. The switch's battery isn't small, you can't just install a bigger one. The reason the new switch models are getting better battery life is from a dye-shrink i.e more efficient versions of their processors. You can't replace that, you have to buy a new model.

I'll just buy the new battery when it becomes available on Nintendo's website and put it in my current switch. Not a big deal really.
It’s not like I even wanted us tocompete with sony or xbox. i just wanted to have a good healthy competition for vidya but instead they blew us the fuck out repeatedly, making an absolute mockery out of nintendo

Luis Phillips
I'm from SEA
I tried to scour local game shops and toy stores for an unpatched Switch just an hour ago
The safest XAJ7 SKU are 7000-7004, all the Switches that I've encountered are 7007 and above which are all patched
The Year 1 adopters get homebrew while late adopters like myself will get better battery life and possibly 1%-2% performance boost
I feel sorry for people who bought a patched OG Switch
Cameron Morris
