Soul Glo posted:I'm thinking it'll be 299 not including the Pro-style controller, maybe not even a Joy-Con Grip I doubt they're going to make the only option out of the box for playing the games on the TV be holding the joy-cons in each hand. The Joy-con grip is definitely going to be included in the box.

If Switch sales go well, my guess would be that they'd release another version in a few years with additional portable features, more durable/kid-proof build quality, and longer battery life. Consolidating development efforts would save money and give the Switch a competitive release schedule. I doubt the prospect of parents having to purchase replacement joy-cons is much of a deterrent given the potential benefits. By the time the 3DS phases out, those things will be plentiful and cheap.

wicka posted:i mean the latter is dumb but the idea that this isn't equally a console and a portable, and that it will replace the 3DS eventually, is pretty stupid too. what possible reason could nintendo have for designing such a thing if doesn't sunset a secondary product line and allow them to focus all development resources on a single platform? Why, they're obviously planning for their new platform strategy: - Switch for - The 3dsNX portable, aimed at the 6-8yrs demographic. Identical game library to the switch. - Mobile games for babies/adult babies It all makes perfect sense

If the dock enables better performance by active cooling and more watts, games will be coded to take advantage of it. A Switch upgrade could use that to provide docked-style performance on a new 1080p screen without needing game patches

A Switch upgrade could use that to provide docked-style performance on a new 1080p screen without needing game patches That is something demanded to the console operating system and game development libraries. Up to WiiU Nintendo made its consoles as closed boxes with hard specs and you needed to test a bit in the BIOS location. Hopefully this time Nintendo put in place some better system than "if System.isConsoleDocked()" to understand what are the underlying console capabilities.

Parents afraid their dumbass kid will lose the joycons should just glue them to the tablet and also get the kid a pro controller. Either that or Nintendo should make joycons that can only be released with a key.

A FUCKIN CANARY!! posted:i miss controllers just having cords There's someone that thinks this? Jesus, I don't. Cords are loving awful, constantly limiting where you can go to play and how far from a screen you have to be to use them, they get caught in poo poo and can nearly pull a unit out if they don't have an emergency release built it (most don't). I'm genuinely considering not buying a NES classic because it has two wired controllers with only a few feet of cord each from what I gather, and the thought of being hampered like that and having to sit so close to a large TV to use it just doesn't appeal to me. It might be able to use wireless pro controllers from what I gather though, so if it can I'll pick one up. If it can't though, I probably won't because it's such a deciding factor for me. I really cannot imagine going back to corded controllers. tsob fucked around with this message at 11:45 on Oct 29, 2016 |

That's that then I guess. hosed if I'm sitting two foot from a 50" TV just to play those games. It was a nice idea, and I really hope Nintendo release a wireless controller variant in a few years (especially if you can save without going to the console itself), but it's not for me.

I think the main reason for it is that the NES Classic is supposed top be a super-affordable nostalgia device, and cutting all forms of wireless from it really keeps the cost down. Plus I bet many people actually want wired controllers just for the more authentic experience. It's a shame there's no option though. Would be nice if you could get a decent little CRT just for it and other retro consoles.

I've got a pink rubber/silicon protector type thing on my WiiU gamepad, it's small enough that it would still fit in a small dock if that were a thing with the WiiU. There's a different set of design challenges since the sides have to be clear and the bottom had to be flush with dock, but that's not going to stop Horii from making something.

Either that or Nintendo should make joycons that can only be released with a key. They made third party "things" for the 3DS that would lock the cart into the console to stop kids losing them. No doubt there will be something similar for the JoyCon™s.

Parents will tie the joycons together with a length of yarn, then thread them through their children's jacket sleeves and pin them to the arm cuffs, like a pair of mittens, problem solved

Walk around the house? No, not really. Sit at a comfortable distance without worrying if the cord will stretch, if it's going to pull anything if you move suddenly or if it's crossing anyone's path. Just charge it for 30 minutes every few days when you're not playing, or watch an episode of something on Netflix while it's charging. Done.

I dunno. My couch is probably a good 15-20 feet from my TV these days. If controllers were still wired, I'd need to either sit on the floor or buy those extension cables that people used to get. On top of that, I've got dogs in the house that would undoubtedly go running into the cable when I'm trying to use it, and unplug it or drag the console to the ground. Or chew on the cable, and it's cheaper to replace a chewed charging cable than a whole controller. In the days when a big TV was like 32 inches tops, short cables were fine because you'd be sitting a few feet away anyway. But with bigger TVs, there's going to be more distance between where you're sitting and the TV itself. And unless you're using long HDMI cables and putting the consoles near where you sit, wireless makes more sense.

I guess I didn't realize that so many goons lived in monochrome infomercial segments. *Knocks over dock, Switch falls out and cleaves a small dog in half as it falls, front half of dog takes off running and knocks over a cup of grape juice that's on the floor for some reason*

Statistics show that there's a greater chance of a trailing cord decapitating your entire family in their sleep and then setting fire to the house because malicious devils live specifically in controller cords than knocking over your dock causing blah blah blah, since we're apparently just trading in hyperbole now instead of actually discussing something. Wireless controllers are popular for much the same reason people prefer remote controls over getting up and manually switching the channel when you decide to leave your infomercial world.

I use a cord extender attached to the console and hook up the other end to a breakout box installed on the wall. Then I installed controller ports all over the house, about five feet apart from one another, so I can connect a wired controller anywhere in the house. I do the same with electrical outlets all over my lovely house.

It is better when the controller is also the screen at the same time. By which I mean I play handhelds.
