    A quality of life update for the super switch I’d like is some Bluetooth support.

    It should be 1080p at 120fps on its dock, and 1080 and 60fps at portable. And plus, 3DS backward compatibility.

    My man blew a micro bubble when mentioning splatoon lol 1:21 someone give him a pay raise, that’s straight talent!

    Greetings CNET, I’m producing a role-playing game called Parallel. I made a page on Steam, but I hope to bring it to the Switch 🙏

    4k my ace, my current switch does 1080p at 10fps… Functional 1080p is more likely.

    This will be a new OLED 4K UHD Switch and this would change the world for everyone to experience new things.

    What if it’s just the center part and we reuse joy cons

    • Antonio Lomeli

      March 5, 2021 at 1:03 am

      Joy cons are trash anyway due to drift so I would prefer new everything

  22. Tassoon

    March 5, 2021 at 12:57 am

    4k on that size is ridiculous

  23. DSN 1

    March 5, 2021 at 1:00 am

    The Switch was already looking dated when it was released in 2017 with them huge bezels! Long overdue upgrade needed

  24. DouGH30!

    March 5, 2021 at 1:06 am

    Damn still no 1080p display 🤷‍♀️🤷

    What about games we downloaded? Will we be able to use it on the new switch?

    • Yusei255

      March 5, 2021 at 11:24 pm

      You just transfer data between the old switch and the new one

      Simple as that.

  27. James L

    March 5, 2021 at 11:50 am

    1080p 60fps and it’s day one buy!

    • Yusei255

      March 5, 2021 at 11:20 pm

      Not happening

  28. Heart Fist

    720p in portable mode, and 4K in dock mode is a bit too big of a stretch. It will be a nightmare for developers to design the 2 far apart resolution and resources to actually take advantage of the 4K. 1080p portable and 4K docked would make much more sense as a combo, or 720p portable and 2K (1440p) docked maybe the 2K would be upscaled to 4K but the render would just be in 2K so that the difference from 720p won’t be as big.

    Honestly if they want to call it an upgrade, they should make it 1080p portable, so that existing switch users would actually consider to upgrade. If that’s the case though, developer will need to make the game usable in 3 different resolutions and don’t just leave the 720p behind in terms of in game resources.

    There allegedly will also be exclusive titles for the New 3d… um… Switch pro that will only work on that device.
    Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?

  30. KINGAL3000

    March 5, 2021 at 12:03 pm

    Finallyyyyy 4k is the future 😉

    • Yusei255

      March 5, 2021 at 11:26 pm

      Don’t count on 4k in hand-held mode.

      Cos it simply isn’t going to happen.

  31. Noodles1771

    March 5, 2021 at 12:21 pm

    The buttons on the switch are way too small.

  32. Logan Gardner

    March 5, 2021 at 12:25 pm

    So it has a slightly larger oled screen and the new dock can upscale to 4K. That’s probably what’s really happening here

  33. Mister Nibba

    March 5, 2021 at 2:04 pm

    Yeah i don’t think a tiny processor in a portable console can run games at 4k, docked or not docked. Be realistic

  34. What's Next

    March 5, 2021 at 2:09 pm

    great vide!o! I want to buy when this comes out thank yoouuuu

    After 1 month with a samsung galaxy I can noticed a line that divide the screen in 2 different tonality of colors and I am not the only one with that issue. It seems like all samsung phone have that problem. I hope nothing happend with the new switch screen…

  36. a random comment

    What if you use the razor kishi and samsung dex on you tv and xcloud? 🤯 4k mobile xbox switch

    Everything we know: Nothing

  38. Tristan Goddard

    March 5, 2021 at 3:12 pm

    Why do some reporters not mention the fact that Nintendo actually came out and said they would never release a “Switch Pro”?
    Something else a lot of people are picking up on but not everyone is that, this leak came from the placement of an order for SCREENS from samsung, how did they get to the 4K output information?? The SCREEN manufacturer would have absolutely nothing to do with the display output and its resolution, so where has this 4K information come from??
    I do think this will be the Switch 2, released at E3 next year. The screen staying at 720p makes sense, as even at 7in 720p is perfectly adequate and saves on battery, it also keeps the cost down. We will probably hear about a new Tegra chip from NVIDIA just before, as to not give away too soon that Nintendo has a new console on the way.
    A few people noticed that the Pokémon Legends footage looked a bit laggy (Outside of the lag of the livestream), which some believe might be because they are running on a reference device that could possibly the Switch 2, though I also believe it is just as or more likely that the game is still in the early stages, which is why it still looks a lot like Breath of the Wild.
    Nintendo is very well known for its VERY incremental upgrades of its hardware, 1080p had been widespread during the Wii days, but we have only just seen it on their mainline consoles 10 years later! I believe the graphics improvement will be more for greater render distances for better open world playability and greater particle densities.

    Dark souls remastered on switch look worse than the original dark souls

    • Paul Lynch

      March 5, 2021 at 6:32 pm

      How is that possible if Dark Souls on Switch is just a better performance version of the original game?

    I have to buy another one??? YayYyyYy

  41. Javier Dumond

    March 5, 2021 at 5:24 pm

    Would be awesome if you could simply upgrade the screen part and keep the other accessories. They would sell this like CRAZY

  42. James Fenlon

    March 5, 2021 at 8:10 pm

    Imagine this a switch with a slot similar to the DS and the DS lite that plays 3DS or ds games i know it wont happen but i would buy it imedietately

  43. James Fenlon

    March 5, 2021 at 8:17 pm

    They shouldnt change the joycons so a controller can be backwards compatilbe with all revisiins drift should be fixed tho

  44. Mike Corvin

    March 5, 2021 at 8:44 pm

    She said 7” was larger.

  45. Jordan Brooke

    March 5, 2021 at 9:14 pm

    OLED screen is a downgrade. The amount of screen burn it will have after two weeks will be horrendous with all the status info on the screen all the time. Not a good move on Nintendo’s part.

    March 6, 2021 at 7:33 am

    well if they made it they couldent make different joycons because of the labo packs i think theyl stay with the same design just bigger screen and beter overall performance

  53. Harlock2day

    If you wanted to give advise to Nintendo you should have released this two years ago and not once the new hardware is finalised.

    March 6, 2021 at 2:50 pm

    I NEED HELP, i want to buy a Nintendo switch but there’s so many rumors about a switch pro coming out soon. Should I buy the switch or wait a bit longer to see if the pro gets confirmed for release?

    • Haste

      March 6, 2021 at 7:29 pm

      If you buy now you can probably sell it when the pro comes out

    I just purchased Mario edition switch a week ago……and I don’t feel happy as I see this video…..

    • Nick Jaime

      March 6, 2021 at 5:33 pm

      Don’t worry, no chip has been released that’ll replace the Tegra that’s in the switch. Until Nintendo can find a replacement for that chip, I can only see minor changes.

  61. Nick Jaime

    March 6, 2021 at 5:30 pm

    What’s funny is seeing all these videos about the switch getting an update with 4k. My question is what chip is going to run it. There hasn’t been an update to the Tegra that’s in the switch, so what chip would make it backwards compatible and play in 4k.

  62. Aiko Hualda

    March 6, 2021 at 5:58 pm

    Knowing Nintendo and if they do release a Pro version, it’s going to be the same screen but bump the resolution to Max 1440p and the graphical power is on par with a PS4 Pro.

  64. Kendu KungfuPanda

    did this guy just say the switch is too big? Wtf kind of baby hands does this guy have???????

  69. Jeremy Huynh

    March 6, 2021 at 8:56 pm

    Idk why, I’m not really excited for it LMAOO. I think the regular switch is okay in my opinion

  70. Mark Allen

    Stay off my YouTube, CNET. You’re full of false information or copy others who already reported something including this.

    Ain’t no way I’m buying that I have a switch pro sounds a waste

  72. SirRaptor

    March 6, 2021 at 10:52 pm

    They also need a better wifi card in them.

  73. Microtonal Milio

    March 6, 2021 at 11:01 pm

    Many people are going to be mislead as I can see from the comments. This new switch WILL NOT DO 4K in handheld, it will still be 720p, the screen is still 720P.
    It will do checkerboard 4K when docked, not in handheld. There is no device on planet earth as of this writing that is technology capable of 4K gaming in a switch sized compartment.

    OLED 3D…with a head frame that you can attach a tablet switch, with already advance gyroscope on the tablet. Making a awesome first and pilot simulator experience.
