Thanks I have a giant GB/GBC/GBA/DS/3DS collection as well. lol.

As for the new switch:
Yeah, the hardware specs aren't any different. It's just the increased battery life.

What they NEEDED to fix was the sloooooooow charging. I know quick charge could overheat the device if you're playing a graphics intensive game like BotW, but it charges so. damn. slow. I mean, if I let the battery drain all the way by accident, it takes me an hour of charging before I can even turn it on. I know the 3DS is smaller, but you could at least turn it on even if the battery was dead, as long as you had it plugged in.
