The trailer makes a big deal out of how you can take the controller bits off of the screen and use them to assemble a Pro Controller equivalent, but it seems a lot simpler to just Have A Pro Controller.

So, I have always been interested in playing Nintendo's handheld rpgs like smtiv and Dragon Quest remakes, but never liked handhelds. Any chance recent handheld released might be retrofit into the switch?

So what's the current details on performance? Last I heard (a few months ago) it used an off-the-shelf mobile GPU but was also somehow more powerful than a PS4. I'm pretty sure at least one of those two things was wrong.

Of course the screen is probably some kind of touch screen they'll shoehorn game stuff onto so Nintendo won't sell a system without it.

We've reached a point now where where ROM chips have a cost and storage which compares nicely to the cost of pressing Blu-ray discs, and you get a ton of advantages like much better seek and load times, no need to install because of that, and far more robust media.

Poor dog.

Dude was playing the new Zelda and pooch was like hey you jackass, you have been playing Zelda all drat day, take me for a walk and grab a tennis ball. Instead, the dude sighs, switches to portable, goes outside with the dog without a tennis ball and the poor pooch can't catch a break. End result? Dog vanished.

It's the "off the shelf" part. It's using a custom Tegra GPU.

I know it was dumb to hear them talk about cartridges and expect old-school styled stuff, but the Switch games look more like SD cards/DS games than true cartridges. It doesn't really matter, just a bit disappointing :sigh:

New Super Mario 3D World has multi and it looks like pretty much the same game so I don't know why it wouldn't.
