Eh, I'd say in that case might as well wait until they unveil whatever Scorpio is.

That was actually the plan. I was kidding about getting the white one.

I won't get a scorpio at launch, though. I'd wait and see if an exclusive shows up that I want. Hoping for Sunset Overdrive 2.

I'm guessing opting for a brick on the end instead of the middle is primarily a safety thing. They assume the charger would be moved and oocasionally damaged by its users, and the design intent was to minimize the chance of coming into contact with A/C after a fray

I've only heard of the Switch having one type of screen so far, a 6.2" IPS panel with something like 330 PPI. Supposedly looks really good in person. 1080p would've been nice; hopefully most/all current smartphone displays don't put it to too much shame. Eh, it's also less than half the price of most of the smartphones that would, and it'll play actual good games.

Unlike on the 3DS where it doesn't matter because all of the screens suck anyway, I hope Nintendo doesn't flub it this time by having different panels. The thought of a game as contrasty and vibrant as Splatoon 2 constantly looking washed out due to gyro controls sounds like some bad fake news waiting to happen.

Sometimes companies silently source displays from multiple different suppliers in a single manufacturing run, and sometimes there are noticeable differences in picture quality between the panels. I'm not familiar with what exactly happened with the 3DS but my understanding is that there was nothing on the packaging that would indicate which kind of display a given unit had, so people were essentially gambling for getting the "good" display every time they bought one.

The Switch will probably have a pretty nice screen considering the screen makes up like 90% of the console.

The New 3DS XL has two different top screen possibilities, an IPS panel and a TN panel. There's no way of knowing which one you'll get until you open it and turn it on. The IPS panel is tuned for higher contrast (blown-out greys/blacks) while the TN panel doesn't have enough contrast (what's "black"?) The TN panel washes out when tilted beyond a 45-degree angle but nobody plays a 3DS at a 45-degree angle. Both screens look as lovely as you'd expect a 240p screen to look, but some people have to have da best of da best, which is unanimously considered to be the IPS panel because it doesn't wash out at a 45-degree angle, I guess. I think I've covered all bases, here.

I had a New 3DS XL with an IPS screen and traded it for a New 3DS with a TN screen to downsize. I liked the richness of the colors on the XL, but also like the overall color accuracy of the TN screen. I don't miss not being able to see a god damned thing in certain dark Monster Hunter zones.

Me.

Let's try not to post creepy anthropomorphic dog art.

The gif with the red background is fine. The ones with the dog dressed up in dominatrix gear or sexualised buttocks is not.

I also dislike the fact that I just typed out that sentence.

hot take : the eventual Nintendo VR will use Joycons or a newer version. They're already pretty close to being VR controllers as is. I can easily imagine Switch VR being a dock you strap to your face.
