My advice is to save the freaking out for when this one disappears too.
sad but true

It's actually been a huge problem for the Lite that it has no font scaling. All of the displays are the same resolution and are ostensibly treated the same.Putting my thinking cap on. Wouldn't there have been a datamine of OLED screen + Switch Lite dimensions in a Switch update? I know we got one for OLED but I reckon there should be something there for Lite?
So my thinking is, if there is new hardware(not believing this until I see it), then it would be something brand new?

One of the many reasons why expecting an OLED Lite is silly.Putting my thinking cap on. Wouldn't there have been a datamine of OLED screen + Switch Lite dimensions in a Switch update? I know we got one for OLED but I reckon there should be something there for Lite?

oh my god.The other major one being they would need to source a brand new screen (5.5 inch OLED panel or so) which would very likely have leaked by now, since screen suppliers leak like crazy.
Yep, that's what I've been saying for a while now. I believe the Lite was reported on mainly because they needed to source smaller panels too. The other major Lite leak came from the shell being leaked (which nobody thought was real at the time), and for a Switch 4k it's unlikely the shell will be all that noticeably different from the existing ones.oh my god.
I just realized that the reason we heard so much smoke last year was specifically because of the OLED panels.
Since the new model is likely using the same part, we may not get anywhere near the same short-term smoke
I think it’ll be tweeted too. It’s too quiet for something bigger to happen for the hardware reveal. I think Nintendo will just tweet it out or give a day heads up.yeah, I am no longer anticipating smoke. it'll just be tweeted out one of these days
That's very standard procedure for trademarking a property like that. You'd want to include it in as many goods and services classes you would reasonbly use it in to cover your bases. Of course it goes without saying that Donkey Kong will eventually star in a new game, but it's wise to not always treat trademark stuff as a smoking gun.I saw a couple of YouTube videos discuss a recent trademark for Donkey Kong and in it it mentioned “downloadable programs for portable and electronic consoles”
I wouldn't necessarily assume that. If they're launching an 8nm drake then it's probably quite a bit larger.and for a Switch 4k it's unlikely the shell will be all that noticeably different from the existing ones.
oh my god.

If an 8nm Drake wouldn't have fit then they likely would've requested a smaller chip, either by cutting stuff out or not going with 8nm. The Switch is already pushing it on size.I wouldn't necessarily assume that. If they're launching an 8nm drake then it's probably quite a bit larger.
they're not going to make the switch bigger ffs it'd be doaI wouldn't necessarily assume that. If they're launching an 8nm drake then it's probably quite a bit larger.
Yeah, I'm recalling this manufacturing leak last year in May from an Asian peripheral company that mentioned the following:oh my god.

The size of the console will be very similar to the original model,[...] The screen will be larger, up to 7 inches [...] A screen that will be OLED [...]
[...] replaces the current support to support it, somewhat flimsy, with a base that goes from side to side of the console and that will hold it more stable, similar to that found in some tablets such as the Surface Pro [...]
[...] the microSD card slot [...] is now located on the side of the back [...]
The new dock [...] will be a little wider at the rear, and will include two USB 3.0 ports [...] it will have an ethernet network port
Like I've said I don't think a pro is coming personally so I'm not disagreeing with that.they're not going to make the switch bigger ffs it'd be doa
Keep in mind that yes, NCL's upload of the Lite reveal trailer was eventually taken down too.
It's not as well documented on Wayback Machine as the US upload but it was still up in May 2021 and was no longer up the next time it was archived earlier this year.
Guess that answers your question @LiC
Tired: The Switch OLED model exists due to silicon shortages forcing a Drake delayYep, that's what I've been saying for a while now. I believe the Lite was reported on mainly because they needed to source smaller panels too. The other major Lite leak came from the shell being leaked (which nobody thought was real at the time), and for a Switch 4k it's unlikely the shell will be all that noticeably different from the existing ones.
That's the only real explanation I can offer as to why it hasn't been heavily rumored by a major publication like Bloomberg as being prepared for production this year, assuming it launches this year. It will very likely be reusing many of the same components.
if it's something new they can make it bigger, but they'd really be stretching the portability USP at that point imoLike I've said I don't think a pro is coming personally so I'm not disagreeing with that.
It isn't. Let's not give anyone a heart attack.The JP OLED video is private..........
Not inside info. He's a very good sleuth for digging into public info, like LinkedIn and patents. He's gotten a lot right by doing that.Does doctre81 know stuff?
It’s still up.The JP OLED video is private..........
Oh shit it’s private now???The JP OLED video is private..........
I think he has in the past but not enough to be a true insider.Does doctre81 know stuff?
Oop.
It's not.Oh shit it’s private now???
Fyi I'd totally be fine with a bigger Switch, so it's not like nobody would buy one.they're not going to make the switch bigger ffs it'd be doa
It was for me. Like for a minute.Oh shit it’s private now???
OLED was 9am EDT, or just under 12 hours from now.What time of day were OLED and lite revealed..?!?
Really? Dang so codes are being sent early, make sense its a large gameXenoblade 3 previews are rumored to be on the 13th so there’s that…
Seems to have been an accident?Please don't post false info as a "joke"
Lite and OLED were both announced on Wednesday too.OLED was 9am EDT, or just under 12 hours from now.
