It has been revealed, that similar to Japan, the newly opened Nintendo San Francisco Store will allow gamers to customise their shiny new Nintendo Switch (OLED Model) for a price. You have the option to choose your preferred colours for the Joy-Cons, the system Dock, and your all-important wrist straps for your Joy-Cons. If this sounds like your cup of tea then it will set you back $349.99. As noted previously in this article this is the exactly same service that Nintendo has offered on their Japanese web store for years.

The Nintendo Switch Pro was long-rumoured and many a gamer were anxious for an announcement from Nintendo, which obviously never came. Digital Foundry has published an article this morning wondering and looking into what actually happened. Did the Nintendo Switch Pro exist and was it morphed and beefed up into the Nintendo Switch 2, or was it all just baloney? The answer? It was an amalgamation of things.
"it now seems plausible that the Switch Pro was an amalgamation of rumours: a combination of the Switch OLED model and formative work on the console that'll finally hit stores on June 5th this year."
"We were concerned about the Tegra X1 powering the original Switch based on its showing in the Nvidia Shield Android TV micro-console - and yet developers delivered miracles from its relatively meagre capabilities."
"Switch 2's T239 may be "old" by this point, while raw horsepower is some way off current-gen consoles - even Xbox Series S - but the features are there and crucially the support is there from game-makers. And Cyberpunk 2077 - the benchmark game - at launch? Let's just say we're really looking forward to it."
