It's the worst one, skip it.
You'll see something happen on the game, then your fairy spends a minute telling you what you just saw. Over and over again. The setting is kinda off too.

Haven't they done a minor hardware refresh? Or at least new batteries for the newest produced versions?

They changed the processor so it uses less power and gets longer battery life back in summer 2019. Nintendo Switch V2 delivers a battery beatdown to the original Switch

My 8bitDo SN30 Pro+ is wigging out and I can't figure it out. At first it wouldn't stay connected to the Switch for longer than a few minutes. Would just drop BT connection. Then I plugged it into my computer and ran the firmware updater and that seemed to fix it. Now, it won't even turn on. When I plug it into USB to my computer the red light on top stays on for a second then turns off, and the first green LED on the bottom stays lit. Tested it in Steam, and works fine wired.So is the battery just dead and I don't know it? How do you know if it's charged? I unplug it, hit Start, nothing happens. About ready to try and send it back, as it's been a piece of junk.

Haven't run into anything like that and I also don't have mine here with me at the moment, but there's a FAQ on their support site -- SN30 Pro+ faq | 8BitDo . Only one thing there that looks relevant though. It does sort of sound like a bad battery, so you'll probably have to contact them.

Edit: Now that I'm looking at mine, I never realized it used the same kind of battery pack as the ones I use for my Xbox controllers. Looks like you can put 2 AAs in there and see whether or not it's the rechargeable that's causing the problem.

It'll be 4K upscaled obviously so won't be that great looking but yeah it'll help with 4k TVs. Sounds nice enough, I've been waiting for a Switch upgrade, but on the flipside I really want to play some Monster Hunter Rise, so it'll be a challenge to see if I can resist the temptation until it releases.

Your 4K TV already has upscaling built into it though. The Switch might end up being better at it than really cheap TVs, but I'd be very surprised if Nintendo puts in a chip that competes with high-end TVs.
That said, still buying one no matter what--my Switch is out of warranty at the end of Nov. and an OLED screen has got to be superior to the original one. I wonder if they'll pull their heads out of their asses and use Gorilla Glass 6 this time...
