This will mark the series’s return to Nintendo, after SquareSoft’s decision to jump ship to Sony during the 32-bit era. This ended almost a decade of support for Nintendo, with the Super Nintendo’s Final Fantasy VI being the final new mainline release on a Nintendo console.

For those who are interested in just one of the titles, both Final Fantasy VII and VIII are also available digitally on the Nintendo eShop store, as well other platforms including Steam, Xbox and PlayStation.

The short answer? No.

Rumours of an upgraded Nintendo Switch have been circulating the internet since before the Switch was even on store shelves. Recently speculation has increased, with hints of a new console even being found in the recent Switch firmware. This led many to believe Nintendo would announce a new member to the Switch family of consoles ahead of E3. We’ve even discussed many of these on the Retro Gaming Dads Podcast.

However, E3 2021 came and went without Nintendo announcing any new Switch hardware. Then today, in typical Nintendo style, they announced the new Switch on their Youtube channel and website with barely any fanfare. Although looking at the changes made between this and the current Switch console, perhaps it doesn’t warrant any excitement.

While the OLED Model does have some improvements over the existing Switch, each change is very minor. Take a look at the comparison below and let us know if you think the new OLED model is worthwhile.

So what do you think of the new Switch revision? Is it enough to get non-Switch owners to jump onboard, or will it be enough for previous Switch owners to upgrade? We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

In some shots are easy, like snapping Pikachu relaxing on the beach, but others are much more difficult, such as taking the picture of Pikachu riding on the back of a rare, flying Pokémon! In Pokémon Snap, you’re on assignment from Professor Oak, the world-famous Pokémon professor. He needs lots of photos taken on Pokémon Island, where you’ll cross six fascinating environments in search of all the Pokémon you can find.
