Unlikely, Nintendo probably isn't bothered to boost the graphics beyond the switch 2's onboard GPU. Nintendo doesn't really care about graphics so I'd be surprised if it had an eGPU.
If anything they put some better upscaling into it.
Will this still play switch 1 games? (Physical cartridges)
Yes
Thoroughly whelmed
It is a video game console that I have ever seen.
I bought a game on switch for like 40 bucks that ended up being really bad, and tried to get it refunded within about two hours of purchase, after about thirty minutes of play time. Couldn't get the refund.
Ever since, I was VERY slow to buy anything, because, what if it's unexpectedly bad? I have to know I mean it, otherwise I shouldn't buy it. I want to buy a game, not flush money down the toilet.
So, now I kind of just don't want a Switch 2.
Buy it on the first day, never connect it to the internet and wait for the first jailbreak. Then you never have to pay for any game.
My girlfriend accidentally bought Minecraft because she wanted to check out whether she could pay via PayPal. There are no further confirmations. Also no refund possible even though she hasn't even installed it once. If I could be bothered, I'd sue, but in Germany that wouldn't financially make sense, even though it would not be a hard case at all
I accidentally bought a game that didn't have English in the region I bought it in and they wouldn't refund me.
Steam deck?
Been tempted to get a steam deck at some point, just not sure how much I would use it and if it would justify the cost, having all my games already makes it infinitely more appealing than the switch though.
Can't wait... for a Switch 2 emulator
Yuzutu?
Looks starkly.... Non-Nintendo-y?
I dunno, changing from the full colored joycons to black with accents and more rounded corners caught me off guard. This looks like a handheld from GPD or ONEXPLAYER
Everything has to look so serious these days.
The colourful Joy Cons were part of the Switch’s identity, sad to see it reduced to an accent they seem almost ashamed of.
My switch came with black joycons. Iirc it cost extra to get the colored ones.
I think they were the same, but the coloured ones were a little harder to get irrc? Preordered the grey version and it cost 330€ - coloured joy-cons should have been the same
The original switch also had an option with grey joy cons
I'm guessing the all grey model probably sold better than the one with colorful joycons so they lead with that this time.
My hope is that they have an inverted version
I'm sure that they'll have a billion models with more color

This blog post is worthless. A direct link to the official video announcement would be better.
It had worth to me, as someone who was stuck in a place where it was unacceptable to watch a video but was acceptable instead to read a summary quietly.
