I don't know what else Capcom would logically put it on. Nobody buys consoles in Japan, and even the Vita has like a teeny fraction of the portable market share compared to the 3DS. But yeah, I too am hooked on Capcom's delicious Monster drugs.

There's been plenty of framerate slow down on multiple "Breath of the Wild" gameplay videos so they probably just used one of those old videos on the Switch screen and it happened to have the frame slowdown we've seen in other videos. People need to stop freaking out. If the rumors of the Pascal architecture are true then it'll be about as powerful as an Xbone and PS4 and plenty powerful enough to run Zelda

If you think this portable console is running Pascal on par with the Xbone and PS4 you're loving insane, enjoy your 20 minutes of battery life.

Has this thread covered yet how weird it is that the reveal trailer for a Nintendo product showed white hipsters playing it in their expensive apartments in American cities, is there like a second one showing Japanese hipsters playing it in their corporate sleeping pods?

also how weird it is that everyone in the trailer was playing video games with an enraptured, euphoric expression on their face like they have seen the face of God. Nobody has an expression on their face while they play video games.

I mean if the X1 is on par with the 360 & PS3, the X2 is considered more-so on par with the PS4 and Xbone. Am I saying it's exact? Of course not, but it's probably a few times faster than the Wii U which makes it close enough. Also, pascal architecture is known for its efficiency and as some people were saying even the shield is about 8 hours of battery life on an X1

Literally every kid under 8 everywhere all the time just walks around picking their nose and playing Minecraft on their parents iPad, so for Nintendo to go whole hog on a platform specifically designed for that is a great idea.

How many garbage tier seven year-olds are looking this and getting salty about the frame rate?

There should be a segment in the video where the parents are trying to have a nice dinner and their miserable child is acting out so they just give him the Switch and tell him to shut up and they get to have four minutes of peace.

Or a segment where where there's a husband playing the Switch on the TV, and she stands in front of the TV wanting to talk to her about their failing marriage, but he just gets up, picks up the screen and goes to the bathroom and locks himself in.


Come on Nintendo, these things write themselves.

If it's the X2 I could see the price being really high, though it would be interesting thus getting back on par with Sony and Microsoft and having AAA back on Nintendo's side.
