Still think they're doing a custom X2 which is what lead to the delays on this console. I remember this was supposed to come out originally in November.

I wouldn't think it's an X2 just because it was delayed.

The biggest omission that offends me greatly as a gamer man is that there is no "gamer girl" button that we can see on the Switch. All the rumors in this thread had lead me to believe there would be :(.

Check out the patent they filed for the wireless kegel-activated joycon.

If it turns out manufacturing a Pascal-based chip is cheaper for them it'll probably be Pascal-based as compared to Maxwell and that would make it more of a custom X2 than a custom X1. But, I still wouldn't expect the performance estimates people were getting excited about with the X2 even in that case since I imagine Nvidia would be essentially using binned chips from what they're putting out for cars for the Switch.

Agreed, especially when you can get a PS4 or Xbone with a disc drive, more power and a game for $299. When you consider that some people won't care about portability the base model really need to be more like $249. I feel like a $400 Switch bundle would have to be some kind of big, limited 'Nintendo Catchup' deal that included ports of 4 or 5 of the big Wii U exclusives (Mario, Mario Kart, Splatoon, Smash, maybe BotW), targeted at the people who like their games but never got a Wii U.

If you're still using disks in 2017 you are seriously doing poo poo wrong. Also has been said a million times carts are actually back to being better/as cheap now.

I hope Nintendo does something in regards to bringing Wii U games to the Switch.

If digital compatibility is not possible due to architectural differences, then perhaps they might chose to remaster several games for the switch. I know many people missed out on the Wii U generation for a variety of reasons.

Unless the switch totally bombs they are definitely going to remaster big Wii U titles for it. It's a great way to make money and it's standard practice nowadays. Other companies do it on the Bone and PS4 and Nintendo has the "advantage" that half the people buying won't even know they're remasters because they don't know the Wii U existed.

Lmao dude I'm gay. Hence the "even gayer" part. I was just kidding

Content: I'm pretty sure the new splatoon isn't just a port. Having the map on the gamepad at all times was vital in that game, and they'll have to build around that somehow. I'm still hoping they'll do something to address the fact that Splatoon only came out, like, a year ago, and making people buy the exact same game again feels kind of like a ripoff. Then again, this is Nin "Virtual Console" Tendo, so

$300 for a system at the end of it's life and with a catalog of games I have limited interest in may be easy, I guess.

Easier still to just wait and hope for remasters of the best of that system's games on a platform I'm intrigued enough by to want to purchase.

I've never even seen a Wii U in person and the only games for it I can name are Splatoon, Smash Bros., and Mario Maker, so I'm completely okay with the Switch's entire library being Wii U ports/remasters.

How much data are carts like what were shown in the trailer able to hold nowadays? And if they're big enough can devs set aside memory on them to store entire DLC packs and save data on?

The 3DS cards came in 512 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB, and 8 GB* variants, and the 3DS games were capped at $40. A lot of people have been saying that 32 GB is totally reasonable to expect for Switch games, compared to 50 GB for a BluRay. They'd probably do an expanding thing with smaller carts saving money, so, like, a 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, and 32 GB option at first, with 64 GB coming on later on in the process as an option.
