Months of rumours and leaks meant that yesterday’s announcement that Nintendo Swap 2 will include an LCD display screen wasn’t all that massive of a shock. We had been getting ready to say goodbye to the OLED for some time now, however Nintendo is eager to level out that the change is not a call that the staff took frivolously.
Throughout a roundtable dialogue with Kouichi Kawamoto, Takuhiro Dohta and Tetsuya Sasaki at yesterday’s Nintendo Swap 2 hands-on occasion in New York, Sasaki admitted that “There’s been a number of development that has been made in LCD display screen know-how” for the reason that launch of the Swap 1, and the staff “took a have a look at the LCD know-how that’s obtainable to us now” throughout Swap 2 growth.
“After a number of consideration,” Sasaki continued, “we determined to stay with LCD”.
Luckily, there are a handful of options that the Swap 2 has up its sleeve to outpace its OLED predecessor. “Even with the OLED model of Nintendo Swap, we did not have HDR,” Sasaki identified, “however that is one thing we’ve got help for now”.
With out making an attempt to agree too wholeheartedly with the console devs, we’ve got to confess that we’re absolutely on board with this level. Enjoying about with trendy LCD screens on gadgets just like the PlayStation Portal reveals a degree of high quality that merely wasn’t obtainable to the OG Swap eight years in the past. Positive, these blacks won’t be fairly as inky as they’d be on an OLED, however that is removed from the downgrade you might need thought it was.
