I realized that since both sides of the removable controller deal are wireless, there are no contacts to get mucked up by goony cheetofingers when it reconnects which means it's very likely using wireless even when it's physically connected

NVidia provided the GPU, and they had to build custom everything apparently?

That MIGHT be the new plus(+) button. The other half of the snapoff controller has a minus button on it. The face buttons look to be the same as the ones on a 3ds, size and make and everything.

On that tack, Holy poo poo is this going to be the first Nintendo handheld that has 2 analog sticks?! Without a tacky attachment that isn't the switch controllers cause I know you fuckers are gonna say it if I don't clarify?

Vents/cart slot/headphone jack along the edge of the device are a 1:1 match with what's shown in the trailer.

Lol, well what I think we're seeing here is nintendos last console. They are probably going to charge 400+ for waggle tablet part deux. Honestly what is wrong with these retards at nintendo. Are they so convinced they can scam the consumerbase with overpriced gimmicky horse poo poo like the Wii again?

They make great software... just stop making retarded consoles nintendo. Just make games for other consoles, pc, and mobile phones. That's all you gotta do.

I'm going to get it. I've got a Wii U though so I guess I might not be who they're aiming this at.

I am concerned about the battery life. And if you can buy extra screens or if the other person in the advert just has another console!

No confirmation. Based on the trailer is doesn't make a whole lot of sense to have one.

Its gotta be the least ergonomic controller of all time.

If you attach them then its fine, but the breakaway feature seems kidna pointless when they're less comfortable to use than wiimotes :v:

Specs and performance are unclear but in concept this is exactly what I hoped for. People who don't care about portability obviously won't be happy and would rather have more raw power. I don't really care about them.

So those weren't fake mockups, we're actually going to get Mario 2 3D World, Splatwoon, Mario Kart 9, in short order? Hell yea.

Edit: forgot about loving breath of the wild. 2017 is the Year of Nintendo.

They're USB ports. Spec sheet upthread a bit mentioned the base having 2 2.0 ports and 1 3.0 port. So I guess that's where you plug in your Smash Adapter.

poo poo, I'll probably get one for Zelda if it has exclusive Switch only features.

Are they really doubling down on the Wii U's gimmicks, though? They're providing a real controller (with a weird form factor, sure, but it's not a big tablet), they're not shoehorning in a touchscreen or a dual-screen experience. The big gimmick this time is that it's a hybrid handheld/console and I'd imagine you're free to ignore one of those halves if you want to.

I could imagine it not living up to the PS4 Pro and the Xbox One Scorpio thing as far as graphics and performance, which could be an issue for it, but other than that I don't think they're making nearly the same kind of blunder they did with the Wii U.
