Nintendo always has to have a hook with their systems. This one seems to have optical sensors in the joycons, plus a jog-wheel. Could be interesting. Personally I am not interested in the same games buts in 4K. I want a new experience. I was hoping for some kinda VR support as Nintendo could do some crazy stuff with that. Guessing price be around £350 -£400

Yeah, it's just a supercharged Switch on first look. I love the switch but mostly use it in the dock with pro controller so not much point in upgrading yet. I'll wait a year or so for the price to drop probably. Reminds me a bit of the Wii to Wii U progression.
The next big console from Nintendo will have to be another game changer like the Wii and Switch were when they landed.

they just need a couple of killer games and it will sell by the bucketload, that newest Zelda was nothing more than a slight add on tot he original game, im guessing they will have a new Mario 3d, Mario Kart and a few others lined up as system sellers

I wonder if the older games like BOTW will have frame rate improvements. That’d be a result as I really struggle on the switch for 3d games after years of PC gaming.
I mean ... if it is confirmed 4K 60FPS+ for everything, then I'm in.
TBH I expected the OG Switch to do 4K ... and wasn't going to buy in to the infrastructure until there was a proper version that did.
...
That being said, to echo other comments ... I played a friend's backups on their PC, and it was sooooooo much better ... so if there's no uplift for OG games that'll be a shame.
...
I wish new versions could bring wider FOV and zoom levels for games like zelda, though ... 😏

Hmm, doesn't seem very Nintendo to just beef up the previous console, if that's all this is.
Maybe there's more to it?
Edit: I suppose it is called the 'Switch 2' so maybe it is just that.

I bought two launch Switches, one kept (tested) and boxed as new. Never ended up using it for modding myself - just enjoyed playing originals - but sold it for good money once that was an established thing.
Its typical Nintendo handheld. GB>GBC>GBA. DS>3DS>N3DS

I cancelled my pre-order and kind of regret it 😭
I hear there's plenty of spare stock around. Nintendo put some effort in to foil the scalpers.
