That worries and excites me. I really don't need a new console guys, I just bought a 3ds.
If you have a Wii U, the game is pretty damned close to identical in terms of graphics. I don't know about performance, though.

Here is a comparison video launched today of the portable and docked.

Portable at 720p stays at 30. Docked, even in fairly open areas with not much going on, you can see it consistently dip into thy VERY low 20's at 900p.

Right but that isn't uncommon to games at release like this (see rocket league), the matchmaking and game joining will improve.

make sure to hold it in your mouth for at least a minute for the first boot, the game has to initialize data

if you spit it out early data will be corrupted and you'll have to buy a new copy of the game

Walked in to my local Target one minute after 7am opening, joined the line filing in, was handed a ticket (48 of 59 or so), and probably have to wait until tomorrow to play, since I have work today and an opera ticket for tonight. I felt really old standing in line, but I was also the only one playing with a 3DS while waiting, so I guess it cancels out. Glad I didn't bother going out late last night for one.

I'm just hoping that the heavy advertising of older Fire Emblem games in Fire Emblem Heroes means we'll get them all for VC and I can play them on the bus. Also, I hope there'll be Picross eventually. I'm pretty much in this for a portable device more comfortable than the 3DS or Vita.

Ooooooor 720P doesn't use the full memory bandwidth even at 1333mhz. This is kinda stretching it honestly. RAM doesn't use a lot of power there's just not a lot of reason to really downclock it when the screen & CPU/GPU are going to be like 80% of the power usage while mobile given what I know of it's max watts vs how much such things typically use.

Edit: I'd want to hear this out of someone actually programing on the thing not some barely a nerd who can look at numbers and just start panicing.

Digital foundry arent barely nerds they are all the way nerds and if they publish a theory you should take it seriously until proven otherwise because they do their hw

Lobbies and stuff in general, are tied to the network phone integration stuff that doesn't exist yet. (Lol at that) but I would assume it will get lobbies and matchmaking when they, you know, exist on the system. They might not want to waste resources build something they don't have to, or it might not eve be possible to do that stuff until later.

they're not mild frame drops. dropping to 20FPS in most areas is laughable.

As someone who was just playing the game: it's only the Plateau. Really. I was just running around somewhere where it's pouring while my Switch was docked and had no drops.

The framerate issue really isn't that bad. Pokemon X and Y's framerate is more annoying imo.

Idk if you guys are playing it or just looking at numbers, but even if it's dropping to "VERY low 20s" it's not bothering me at all. That's not even really that low for a lot of console games. It is uncharacteristically low for a Nintendo game, though, yeah.

What did bother me: Dark Souls Blighttown pre-patch, Bloodborne's constant stuttering, and Dragon Quest Heroes I & II -- even portable, that game chugs like crazy.

Welp, Amazon hosed up my order and I'm not getting a Switch today. Earlier this week they told me it was on track for release day shipping because I was a Prime member, and chose prime shipping at checkout. Then today they tell me the order isn't elegeble for release day shipping because the order was set to standard shipping, which it wasn't. Of course all the stores in town are already sold out...

They said it themselves in the article: Dock & mobile have different rendering setups and ok the dock one is suffering in place when the other isn't. I believe that sure. WHY it's happening is complete guess work and my knowledge of such things makes me go "eeeeeh"

But hey I expect this thing to have some quirks cause it's an overtuned mobile chip I can plug into my TV also. Long as it works I'm not going to care about 22FPS vs 30FPS. Hell soon as I actually get mine I'm SO not going to care cause I"ll be trying to have fun not stressing some dropped frames. Yeah it's annoying but if I don't want dropped frames I have a PC.

Amazon hosed my order by giving me the Grey instead of the Neon one. When I ordered it after the Switch event, I emailed Amazon to confirm that I ordered the Neon (it didn't give me details in my order). I'm 99.99% sure I placed an order for the Neon. They come back and tell me, "nope it's the grey one you ordered the wrong one dummy and we aren't going to talk about this again". Completely disregarded a possible bug in their system, and were rather insulting to me.

Amazon's customer service has been loving garbage lately. I guess that's the result of becoming one of the biggest retailers in the world

So aside from Nintendo being incompetent as gently caress, is there a reason why the Switch keeps forgetting the wifi, won't let me sign in with my NID, and has absolutely no indicators to tell you when charging the stupid controllers is complete? Or why the left controller seemed to come with a near-full charge but the right one had absolutely zero? Or why, in god drat 2017 it doesn't come with a god drat AC adapter?

Oh wait that last one's so they can scam more money out of you. Because the 80 dollar price tag on extra controllers wasn't enough, I guess.

So excuse the dumb and possibly repeat question but;

I've linked my Nintendo Account. Is it possible to download my Mii from that or do I have to either recreate it from scratch or transfer it from my WiiU?

Can I directly transfer from WiiU or do I have to use an amiibo?
