Shiznizzle "It’s unclear why Nintendo didn’t build the Switch 2 with a removable battery from the get-go, especially as Europe is its second-largest market after the United States." This was not obvious to you? So you buy a whole new unit when the battery dies or at the very least send it off to Nintendo to have them replace the battery. If they even do that. If not then scrap the thing and but a new one. Built in obsolescence. Reply
Ktbpylon Too bad it also won't include a revamped screen that isn't an absolute pile of dog poop. Reply

If not then scrap the thing and but a new one. Built in obsolescence. I think the writer's point is that the requirement to have user-replaceable batteries was already known when the Switch 2 was released, so it's weird that they need to release a new version. My guess would be that they've already designed both models, and want to sell the version with the non-user-replaceable battery for as long as they can, for the reasons you mentioned. Reply

It's not the fastest but it doesn't matter since games don't run at more than 60 fps anyway. All those youtubers complaining about the screen "bad" response time never mentioned that it's better to not have instant response when your screen is designed to run games at low fps. But beside that, they all praised the image quality. Reply
