Wait, you mean to tell me the video footage of multiple people cheerfully dancing around an unreleased game system may, in fact, not actually be accurate? I am shocked!

I don't think it's a surprise here, but it needed a ten page discussion in the now godawful Switch thread.

"Surprised" assumes that the people trying to freak out about reduced framerates in portable mode actually at some point realized that it was ad copy and not that they kept making GBS threads up the thread with how terrible the system is going to be until a mod told them to shut up.

The NX thread was really fun when people didn't get deadly serious about video game system we didn't know anything about and made jokes. Now we know it's indeed a system that plays video games and the thread is a disaster on par with the old Dota and COD threads. We can't have anything nice.

I really don't get the appeal of doomsaying a new system. Like Xbone's many pre-launch mess-ups were funny but I figured they'd get it sorted out eventually.

It took them nearly years but they finally did. Assuming Scorpio actually exists maybe they're finally getting stuff real right? Big assumption though, I guess.

I mean, if it's how ever many darrylflops that they're claiming, it's a nice value vs. an equivalent PC. It just doesn't sound likely.

The switch looks neat except the tiny optional baby-hand controllers.

having used an OG 3ds and vita slim for years the switch will be like a giant's console in comparison

I just can't imagine two-handing one of the little side thingies. On the other hand, using it how I use a 3DS or Vita seems like it should be fine, if slightly bulky.
