Wouldn't it be funny if they announced the Switch Pro

At least if the TWW/TP ports happen, I will be able to finally put my Wii U away.

You know what, that's not a bad shout actually. 

Maybe not a "pro" edition per se, but spruce it up a little bit internally, have a nice fancy limited edition design. Make the OLED screen the standard and discontinue the OG. 64gb storage. Same on the Lite, few new colours. $100 / £100 price drop for both models. Pack in a big hit or two. Finally kick of a player's choice range.

Congratulation, PS2 is dunzo. 10 million+ EZ sales.

After playing the original Wind Waker again, going back to not having the Game Pad screen for that game is so frustrating. More so than losing the other changes.

Are we expecting a tweet/announcement at 2pm for tomorrow's Direct? If real, I can't imagine them just dropping the thing out of nowhere.

Yeah, 14:00 GMT / 15:00 BST in the summer has generally been when they drop news of general Directs for a little while now, though if it's under different branding then it might go up at a different time – for example, last year's Partner Direct got announced at 22:00 GMT. So I guess we'll know by tonight at the latest, because I'm with you, I'd be pretty shocked if they shadow-dropped this. 

Before rumours of this started going around I was thinking they'd drop the Switch 2 Direct runtime sometime today, but I figure they'll just give it a little bit of lip service to close the Direct out if that's happening tomorrow?
