This reveal was bullshit because it didn't say anything about a standalone cube that increases the system's horsepower, somehow.

If you plug the tablet into a cartridge and then into the dock you can play Mario &Knuckles.

I can't wait to buy this mobile-oriented console but never take it out of my house because it's so big and I can hear other people on the subway judging me for playing baby games as an adult.

Lol ya I probably won't take this outta my house either but I love the mobile aspect of it so I can take it anywhere in the house that I want. Finally toilet console games will be a reality.

There's been ramblings about how AMD is going to have a conference call with Nintendo tomorrow, possibly to give the OK to announce their third design win. This fully debunked yet?

earnings call is today, 5pm ET.

I really wanna know how easy/hard the game approval process is for the switch OS. will it be better than Wii U. If it's android OS, maybe a way to sideload apps??? Will the OS allow multi-tasking

it has two weird indicator lights on either side that make it seem like its a battery pack or something idk

There's four lights on each side, maybe one is player number and one is the charge remaining in the grip? They both have the top light on though, and charge indicators usually start at the bottom.

I guess it could be "charge on each side" or something really weird if the system supports a crazy number of controllers.

I don't get how they are going to have a console gaming experience on par with the PS4 in a tablet sized console, that also has enough battery life to sustain a substantial amount of play.

The good news is that there were no shots in that trailer of someone using the tablet and using the TV.

Depends on what you mean by substantial. Most Tablets can stay on for like 8ish hours of always on time. I'd imagine 4-5ish hours is a real safe bet for this thing, also is also thicker than most tablets which means a larger battery can fit in it.

My guess is this system power wise is going to be around the same difference that the Xbox One is to the PS4. To the Xbox One.

Most tablets are fanless and don't get hot. This thing is going to be dissipating a ton more energy than most tablets, which means shorter battery life. I'd expect 2-4 hours from this thing actually playing games.

eventually yeah. it's functionally a 720p handheld and all the 3DS and Vita devs are moving to it

3DS probably only sees support for the rest of 2017 and then it's done

laura k is pretty trustworthy. She was right about a whole buncha leaks

I honestly can't see nintendo not doing this because literally all they have to do is take a regular joycon, spraypaint it gold, and stamp a zelda logo on, and they've made themselves a million bucks.

Yeah, give me all the controllers. That is all I want, especially if they're truly so cheap to make that they could pack them in with games. Or if Switch games would be $50 but you get a bonus controller bit for $60.

The older I get the less games I play, but Nintendo stuff is always the most interesting.

Most WiiU releases like Splatoon, DKC:TF, Captain Toad, etc. were all awesome plus the countless 3DS games I've played over the years. Give me cool games without bullshit cinematics and add-on purchases and I'll give you my money.
