Nintendo Released A New And Improved Switch And People Weren't Happy

So here are the improvements to the Nintendo Switch. Think of this new version as a "Pro" version of the switch similar to the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro.

The Improvements via a Meme 

Basically, the biggest change to the console was a better screen (OLED screen), slightly better audio and an ethernet port. Whereas the ethernet port is a nice upgrade for certain gamers (reduces lag in online games), none of these changes are groundbreaking in any way. This led to the gaming community not being thrilled with this announcement.

To explain what's going on to non-gamers, let me make the following comparison - Imagine buying a brand new car that has a bunch of hidden mechanical issues with the suspension, engine, you name it (you can tell I'm a car guy, huh?). The next model of the car that comes out is just a different, more vibrant color. Like sure, it looks great, but the core problems that still exist within the car were not adjusted. That's basically what's going on here. The new screen is great, but Nintendo Switch users want better functionality and I agree with their frustrations.

Regardless, in HQ we have fun with our Switch and our last Barstool Plays video was with the brand new Mario Golf: Super Rush on the Switch!

This makes me think, what's better - Mario Golf or Wii Golf?
