I really don't like the logo. I know why the logo looks that way considering the Wii U branding debacle, but still.

I‘m assuming they debated about it until the very last second until they settled with the safest option. The leaks probably accelerated things a lot towards the end and it might’ve been called something different entirely if they had more time to agree on a name.

Its been what, 8 years since the original switch was released?

They had plenty of time to decide on a better name.

I hope this hardware will stand a chance playing no man's sky. After the freighters were introduced the switch just couldn't handle it

The joycon sliding on the table, is that a mouse-mode? @1:11 in the reveal trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itpcsQQvgAQ

Mouse mode has been rumored, and some leaks have shown what could be an optical sensor on the joy con.

Also, if you take your current joy cons and place them on their side like that, they surprisingly feel pretty great as a mouse. Shoulder button for min click, and your thumb hits the four face buttons. I could see it working pretty well.

Let's go! I'm excited for hardware that will run Pokemon Violet/Scarlet at a non-dog shit framerate (other than pirating).
