I'm OK with this. Better battery life is a nice improvement and this is not a mid generational upgrade. Good job, Nintendo.
Wow. That's a huge improvement.
Nearly doubled in battery life!!!!
So this original newer model has better battery life than the Switch Lite if im reading this right.
4.5-9 hours* :P
WHO needs to have 5 or 9 hours of battery on the Switch ? do you all take the flight NewYork-Paris so often ?
yes
What a bizarre reaction... It's a nice improvement for those who play on handheld mode a lot. That's it.
