Yeah. They're flash memory.

Start whining about how EEPROMs are the future and how the original DS used J-K flip flops.

Honestly I probably wouldn't take it out of the house except to travel (rare.)

In most cases it would be me moving it from the tv to bed or to the couch so my girlfriend could watch Kardashians or something.

I can't believe that Nintendo of all companies were the first to think of just turning their console into a loving tablet. This thing is going to make Apple very nervous if it's not hot garbage considering how many children have tablets.

No one considering buying a tablet first and foremost is going to see the Switch as a viable option for that purpose.

It's literally a tablet though. If it has Netflix it will be competing for that market.

This was the thinking in 2012 with Wii U I'm sure. Turns out people did actually spend to buy their kids iPads.

I'm just happy Nintendo is no longer (so far it seems) forcing you to make a choice between differing hardware any longer in order to get ALL their games. As you say I hope Switch turns out good.

Hopefully it has a DS and 3DS VC. I'll miss 3D but having an actual HD screen finally will more than make up for it.

This is actually a huge game changer. Or it would have been if the Vita hadn't been colossal failure in the west.

I'd like to know more about the operating system, how/if Mii's and Streetpass will work. Oddly enough I get excited when I tag someone new.

It could just put both screen images on the screen at once or maybe you can play on the TV using the screen as well like with Wii U.

I definitely hope StreetPass returns. That's definitely one of my favorite 3DS features.

I don't because I've had a grand total of 50 in the entire time I've had a 3DS, despite fishing for them because I don't live in a major city so locking neat stuff behind them sucks.


It's fine if they made that stuff accessible elsewise though.

The only place I can consistently get Streetpasses is a used video game store. Once the NX is out, nobody's gonna be carrying around their 3DS and I'll have to keep going to that game shop to finish all the Streetpass puzzles.

Streetpass owns. It's just that you have to live in NYC or Japan.

I'm in Chicago and I usually tag the same 3 people on my commute. It's fun to send weird messages to strangers on the train. If I'm walking around the loop (downtown) I usually tag about 10 people on a good day out. I wish they had done something like Pokemon Go and made certain places hotspots to win/roll on items or something.

There wasn't any indication that's a touch screen in the video. A careful omission or is that a gimme with a tablet shaped device?

I don't think there can be, if all games can also be played on a TV with the Switch docked.

True, but there's no reason it can't be used for menu/icon tapping to save time while it's in your hand.

i never ever use the touchscreen on the 3ds and in fact get annoyed when it makes me pull out the styles for some minute menu task that easily could have been handled with gods chosen input, buttons

If anything, it probably has an enhanced multitouch touch screen. The thing is basically a tablet without the joy cons attached.
