I hope the handheld can wirelessly communicate with the dock so you can play Wii U style with the screen in your hands... otherwise the Mario maker port will be kind of lacking, and also you wouldn't be able to play touch screen games on the couchola

Id have to rewatch but was there actually any indication that the screen was a touch screen?

There is zero indication other than the rumors which have been basically vindicated as truth

they also do VNs and like DBZ games so probably not. I don't think Nintendo gives a crap about courting fighting games if Pokken Tournament is any indication

this looks kinda cool

it could be cool but i wonder about battery life and controller usage when undocked. not that its gonna be the main use for most, but part of the console hinges on that.
At least it seems like it'll have solid 3rd party support this time around, but the offbeat release cycle ninty has been on for a long while has hurt them with multiplats because of hardware and poo poo, at least from what i recall.

The first thing to know about the new Nintendo Switch home gaming system: it’s really fun to play. With great graphics, loads of game titles and incredible performance, the Nintendo Switch will provide people with many hours of engaging and interactive gaming entertainment.

But creating a device so fun required some serious engineering. The development encompassed 500 man-years of effort across every facet of creating a new gaming platform: algorithms, computer architecture, system design, system software, APIs, game engines and peripherals. They all had to be rethought and redesigned for Nintendo to deliver the best experience for gamers, whether they’re in the living room or on the move.

A Console Architecture for the Living Room and Beyond

Nintendo Switch is powered by the performance of the custom Tegra processor. The high-efficiency scalable processor includes an NVIDIA GPU based on the same architecture as the world’s top-performing GeForce gaming graphics cards.

Nintendo SwitchThe Nintendo Switch’s gaming experience is also supported by fully custom software, including a revamped physics engine, new libraries, advanced game tools and libraries. NVIDIA additionally created new gaming APIs to fully harness this performance. The newest API, NVN, was built specifically to bring lightweight, fast gaming to the masses.

Gameplay is further enhanced by hardware-accelerated video playback and custom software for audio effects and rendering.

We’ve optimized the full suite of hardware and software for gaming and mobile use cases. This includes custom operating system integration with the GPU to increase both performance and efficiency.

NVIDIA gaming technology is integrated into all aspects of the new Nintendo Switch home gaming system, which promises to deliver a great experience to gamers.

The Nintendo Switch will be available in March 2017. More information is available at https://www.nintendo.com/switch.

Nintendo Switch is a trademark of Nintendo.

dont really know how to feel about this
i mean burning everything down and starting cleaner and more efficient sounds really good but all that talk about custom software and hardware makes me think of ps3 and how apparently it was so hard to develop for.
