They call it the Switch because when you turn it on your frown switches upside down.

I'm kinda hoping they come out with one with a ~5 inch screen, thinner (meaning no stupid cooling fan), and of course lighter with better battery life. honestly I'm not sure if we're ever going to see a "thinner" switch, the rail system kind of has them locked into this position. it might get cheaper for sure, the screen might upgrade, but I dunno about "thinner". it'd be a real cluster to have Joycon Lites, confusing as the controllers already are.

Real hurthling! posted:this doesn't follow for me Yeah, they were desperate to move as many units as possible in March, that's why they rushed the launch to begin with, if they had anything exciting to say about the VC they would have announced it to build hype for the console.

I don't know about you guys but I'm holding out for the Switch Aqua, the totally waterproof hardware revision that I'm sure is gonna come out any day now. My SCUBA club is gonna love 1-2 -Switch! Dr Cheeto fucked around with this message at 00:33 on May 3, 2017 |

alf_pogs posted:went back and edited my post cuz i'm a moron: they save the race for viewing later in Mario Kart TV mode, so you can make an edit reel of your crushing defeats / staggering wins cool, that's what I suspected, I just hadn't worked out where to find them and the complete lack of hints onscreen wasn't helping. I'll check it out at lunch.

I feel like I need a good MARIO KART primer. Why do my bananas go forward sometimes and backwards the other? Why do I see shells and fireballs flung backwards? Can you do that? Other tricks?

How many times can you poop with a switch before it becomes unsafe? Asking for a friend.

The X1 processor is a 2 year old SoC at this point. Nvidia isn't likely to die shrink it and they are out of the handheld game for newer Tegra processors (focusing on embedded instead.) We are at final hardware. Not much is going to change about it during the lifespan of the console.

I'm pretty sure it's forced off when undocked, the lower performance profile is so the system doesn't have to do extra energy-draining stuff like run a fan.

I'd be fine with it being 50% thicker if they simultaneously made it 50% thinner.

Unless mine is faulty this is wrong, my fan is on the whole time even though it's pretty quiet When I take it out of the dock sometimes the fan goes crazy for a minute or so but it winds down after

make it thick enough that it can't fit pockets so i have another reason to call it a console and not a portable.
