Revised Switch 2 Model Possibly Launching in Europe
A new report from Japanese outlet Nikkei claims that Nintendo is planning to launch a revised model of the Nintendo Switch 2 in Europe. This new model would align the company’s ‘right to repair’ policy with legislation in the European Union (EU), in particular the European Battery Regulation, which requires by 2027 that portable batteries in consumer products must be user-replaceable.
There's no indication of plans to bring the revised model to Japanese or American markets, although Nikkei's report says Nintendo may bring the revised model to those markets should consumer awareness of the right to repair increase.

A user-replaceable battery is cool and all, but where's the Switch 2 OLED, Nintendo? If I'm going to overpay for your mediocre system, at least you can have a nice screen on it.

I wonder if Nintendo will even try to do an OLED model anytime soon what with the ongoing RAM shortages, plus they bumped up the price of every Switch 1 model only a year ago so if an OLED Switch 2 did come out I can't see it not being a higher than usual price for it.
