Two things I am wondering about

1) are companies going to complain about the price of using solid state memory for their 50gb games? I love carts. I'm just wondering.


Infinite Warfare with all the trimmings is 130 GB.

That's going to be a problem with third party games on Switch.

the problem is its like 4 games with tons of audio files taking up tons of space because they hired A list actors and want them to sound good and lots of assets that aren't shared between infinite, mw, zombies, etc.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

Let's not kid ourselves, we have bad memories about the Dreamcast because it was made by Sega. Now, if Nintendo had made a virtual reality console I would have had concerns, because I still remember the Virtual Boy, but this thing looks good so far.

Hopefully I'm not completely broke March 2017, so I can get a Switch.

According to this Polygon article, the Joy Grip (thing you clip the Joy-Cons to, to make a regularish controller) is a separate accessory not included with the system. Also confirms that additional Joy-Cons can be purchased separately. Not sure why one would opt to buy extra Joy-Cons and not the Pro Controller, but in light of the Wii U Game Pad never being a retail item I found it interesting.

Fast-moving thread so sorry if this is old news.

Yea I clicked the notify button, but I don't think I've ever actually been notified any time I've done this. Lets hope Amazon doesn't gently caress up the pre-order like they did with PSVR and have it sold out before they even open it up to the public.

The point is that you can play locally or remotely with the same experience, seemlessly. With an LCD in the little handle nub, how do you duplicate that when in handle-tab mode? You'd need a second little pop-out screen that comes off the main screen.

"There's also the Joy Grip accessory that players can pick up..." The language implies it's a separate purchase, but I may just be jumping to conclusions.

I initially said it as a joke, akin to Dreamcast having one. No, I really don't think it should have one.
