Volte posted:A good chunk of the minigames in Super Mario Party rely on HD rumble so releasing a budget version of the console that can't even play all the minigames in their flagship casual party game seems highly dubious to me. This is what made me immediately dubious about this article. I just played through my first game of Super Mario Party yesterday and what stuck out to me was how many vibration-dependent games there were. Entire squares on the game board are rumble-only games.

Besides, how much money would removing the rumblers even save? If anything it would mean they have more types of controllers to manufacture which would probably just cost them more in the end.

A handheld-only Switch is kind of an oxymoron considering the name, logo, and marketing campaign are based entirely around the concept of switching between docked and handheld. I guess they could release a newly named handheld line that is compatible with (most) Switch games. A Nintendo Game Gear, if you will.

I don't think the company behind the 3DS/3DS XL/2DS/New Nintendo 3DS/New Nintendo 3DS XL/New Nintendo 2DS XL family is going to let logical branding get in the way of a salable idea

A dockless, fixed Joycon Switch (ie, a worse Vita) would be all but an admission that the Switch was a failure imo, considering what a regression that would be.

The current switch will be the new “cheap” model and will be sold without a dock. The new Pro Switch will have the dock and better hardware or whatever new poo poo they throw.

Nintendo also has a habit of releasing hardware revisions which assume the person buying it already has the previous version, e.g. New 3DS with no charger included. They could release a non-detachable version with the assumption that anyone who buys it also has joycons lying around to sync with it if they want to co-op.

They'd probably end up ahead money-wise, anyway. Parents buy the cheapest option, kid screams until they spend the extra $150 on a dock + extra controllers

I certainly believe that Nintendo is researching/prototyping different possible hardware revisions but there is zero chance there will be two new versions out this summer. E: I could see the current system released without a dock though, timed to come out with Pokémon gey muckle mowser fucked around with this message at 16:38 on Mar 25, 2019 |

I actually kind of would like a pocket sized switch, like psp/vita sized because the switch is just big enough that it's inconvenient to travel with without a backpack or laptop bag

The "New Switch" is a Switch.

A pocket-sized Switch would require a much higher density screen, so I'm guessing that would put the cost up significantly, at least out of the "budget" range.

SettingSun posted:A dockless, fixed Joycon Switch (ie, a worse Vita) would be all but an admission that the Switch was a failure imo, considering what a regression that would be. since the batteries aren't easily removable, this is the inevitable fate of all Switches once they can't hold a charge better than 30 minutes. I'd pay for a "pro" revision with a more removable battery like the WiiU controller had, or some kind of miniature attachment battery. Actually I bet some kind of Nyko thing exists for that already.

There are tons of non-system-taxing indy games on Switch Even if they don't go to this extreme it's weird/dumb that Nintendo doesn't put out more small-scale games to fill the gap between the big releases. Hopefully snuffing out the 3DS will help

So, not sure if this is the right place for this, but of there are any tinkerers in this thread: I want to embed a switch into the shell of a WiiU Gamepad. Shells are readily available on eBay and there should be enough room to get the switch and the dock pcb inside. What I'd like to do is use the buttons / sticks from the gamepad as well. I can cannibalize the PCB from a wired controller to process inputs, it's getting signal from the WiiU button placement to the PCB that's going to be difficult. Does anyone have any experience doing something like this? Is dealing with the printed traces going to be prohibitively difficult?

I mean what about a slightly smaller fixed joycon switch that still docks? It would still be a switch that just leans slightly more to the portable side. It’s probably all bull but I like my switch just fine how it is anyways. Being able to replace the moving parts on a portable console is cool.
