i'm assuming there will be a handset unit charge cable that they sell separately or else it would be useless on trips right?

also i'm pretty interested to see what happens to the pricing of games, if smaller titles akin to traditional handheld games in scope remain 40ish dollars or if they try to standardize everything at 60. exciting times

The pillar in the airport that the guy in the teaser sits down next to is the kind they festoon with power sockets. So the answer is "Yes, but they didn't want to show the adapter for some reason."

Well some sources are saying MK8, SSB4, Splatoon, etc are ports and not simply 'insert Wii U disc here.'

They have to be ports. Tegra is an Arm PC with an Nvidia gpu, the poo poo gamecube family were power pc machines with AMD gpus.

Not only is that not confirmed. Bethesda has even come out and said Skyrim may not even be coming to the NX and that Skyrim is just being used as a demo and an example of how Bethesda will be supporting the system in the future.

i am going to buy physical games for my switch cause buying most 1st party nintendo games digitally when there is a cart version is kinda dumb when you can get them 20% off on amazon at launch, keep a zillion of them in a small case more easily than you can manage 32 gb's of storage, and sell them for near purchase price at any time if you don't like them cause the main franchises hold their value

I would probably be doing the same if not for the 256GB microSD my Note 7 came with. Can't wait to plug that in and not worry about space.

In terms of home console processing power, yeah. In terms of handheld power, this is by far the most powerful dedicated gaming handheld ever made. So it depends on what you want out of it.

All the processing power in the other 2 consoles didn't produce Splatoon, the best loving shooter since idk Counter Strike? Cause that's what every iteration of online shooters are anymore. same zzz thing.

Edit: TF2 maybe I forgot how popular that was I just never played it, but looked cool and different.

Mark my words, those supplementary computing device patents mean a dock pro down the line with Scorpio level graphics.

It's literally "you can use your switch with the new dock just like Wiimotes with the Wii U"

They can just upgrade the dock down the line and maybe do a 7-10 year plan.

I don't understand why I can't harass people online. Seriously, somebody please explain why I shouldn't be allowed to stalk others on social media!
I just saw the video and Im not really sure this is something I'd want. For one, I don't want to carry something extra with me that most likely has like a 4 hour battery life at best when I can just play games on my phone. The other thing is, the games I'd want to play on the go aren't things like 3D Zelda or basketball or shooters. They're stuff that I can pick up and put down without having to get into it.

The other things are I'm trying to imagine me and one or two friends gathered around an iPad mini sized thing and trying to game on it. That sounds awful.

Unless the Switch's internal memory is an SD card that can be replaced with a much bigger one, it makes the most sense for expanded storage to work via the dock's USB ports. Plug a hard drive in, play any game from that drive while the system is docked, transfer a game to system memory if you want to take it on the go.

I'm glad Nintendo's making another cartridge-based home console so they can start work on a Switch DD that never pans out.

It also works as a normal home console, complete with consistently great first-party Nintendo games. You don't need all the extra stuff. But I am certainly looking forward to doing all of those things nonetheless.

A significant number of people care nothing about Nintendo consoles and care a decent amount about Nintendo handhelds so compromising one for the other would be a bad move imo.

Hot take: the Switch will get 6-7 hours playtime.

Second hot take: it's probably 1080p because I don't see why not, the Shield handled that resolution just fine.

Third hot take: it won't cost more than $300 and might retail as low as $250.

I can't wait to see how Nintendo makes this thing more powerful than a tablet, with a 1080p screen, and still sells it at half the price of a tablet with all the other bits and bobs.
