I just ordered a Nintendo one, but they are back ordered so I'm stuck with my stuck button one or the joy cons snapped into that plastic holder to make it similar to a pro controller
I hear Nori ones are good. They are officially licensed too.

Looks like the improved Switch will be announced soon. 4K output, improved CPU... It will launch with a AAA game (has to be Zelda) and new accessories.

4k output seems like a dream.

I don't have any problems with the output of our Switch. I generally don't care about such things.

But does this mean we're going to be locked out of new games if we don't upgrade?
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

I doubt it. More like the new model will give a visual/performance boost to new and old games.

The improved model should have bluetooth. Hell, the original should have.

:thumbsup:

If the rumored Pro model has the following, Ill be happy...

- No more JoyCon Drift
- Larger Screen with very little bezel (1080p) and upscaling for older titles
- 4k upscaling in docked mode and performance upgrades for certain games (i.e. framerate drops in BotW)
- better battery life
- better kickstand
- bigger internal memory
- Blutooth

I liked Volta when it first came out (I’ve got an xbox as well), but haven’t played it in months.
