New Nintendo Switch model with longer battery life now available in Australia, Hong Kong and the US

Nintendo recently announced a new Nintendo Switch model that includes a significantly longer battery life compared to the standard console. The updated system will go on sale in the UK in early September. It is available now in select territories, including Australia and Hong Kong. A Texas-based YouTuber also managed to get a hold of one and he’s saying the console comes with a pair of updated Joy-Con controllers that seem “stronger” than the original:

Yeah, they feel a little different. It seems like they are made of a different material or something. Will explain more in the video but I think they built them to be stronger.
