If they released a dock that allowed Breath of the Wild (and the sequel) to run at 1080p/60, I'd get it.

The difference between a PS4 Pro and a Sega 32X is that there are zero games that force you to have the former, while there are certain games that require you to have the latter. Any peripheral or refresh that splits the target audience is a non-starter, ipso facto.

"Hey developers, do you want to develop for the entire audience, or just a fraction of it? Can you look at two numbers and tell which one is bigger?"

This is also why any peripheral that isn't included in the box with every SKU is doomed to fail. See Kinect, Playstation Eye, Wii Motion Plus, etc.

Even with the successes like PSVR, Sony kinda screwed up by making the default input device the Dualshock 4 instead of Move Controllers, or a VR-dedicated Move controller variant with thumbsticks. There's no walking that one back after the fact.

It'll run at a nice 1080p/60 in Dolphin if you have a reasonably current desktop.

Don't you dare say that! I was trapped in a loop of Play game till end of Act 2, Die, Crash as Death screen comes up, Try to Reload, Crash, Try to Abandon Run, Crash... Delete save and repeat cycle.

But thankfully the new patch has fixed it and I played for about 6 hours straight yesterday with no issues, well except getting whomped by Bosses with lame effects.

EXTREMELY PISSED AT THE DNC

Stickman posted:

I wouldn't say it's useless - the Switch is already considerably more powerful in docked mode than in handheld mode, and games have to be designed to support two resolutions. If you could add 60fps/fancier effects/higher resolution textures/maybe even 4k support, that's the sort of thing that would improve the experience of even existing games through patches. USB-C actually has the data rate to handle an external GPU, too.

It would widen the gap between the handheld and docked experience, though, which Nintendo might want to avoid.

This is my impression too. I don't think Nintendo wants to widen the performance difference between docked and handheld mode to much.

There is a performance difference between docked and handheld mode, but you're not really supposed to notice it. It's supposed to be as if you're taking the console experience off your TV and into your hand seamlessly and without compromise

I had been keeping my eye on this custom version of the Dolphin emulator, it was promising true mouse & keyboard controls for the Metroid Prime Trilogy. I say true mouse and keyboard because it's not just emulating the wiimote's IR pointer controls with the mouse, plus they've unlocked the FOV.

They had the emulator working for Prime 1 & 2 for a while, Prime 3 was a lot more complicated to get working. I know a lot of people didn't enjoy Prime 3's controls or didn't even try it, maybe with mouse & keyboard controls more people can enjoy the game.
I also thought this was a neat way to make these games I love look new again, I really hope we actually get an HD version on switch before Prime 4.

Either way it seems too obvious a win to in 2020 or 2021 or so release a switch with a 900p LCD (I figure that has been planned out all along, and is part of the reason why that docked resolution is a favored design target) which has the current docked performance characteristics when handheld, and ups the docked performance commensurately. I doubt they'll want to confuse the situation too much by having a device which does "original handheld" and "new docked" tiers instead of having those two variants.

The kinect was included in every box for the first year or so of the Xbox One's release & the system was initially built assuming it'd always be included until they decided it was a failure

the 360 one of course wasn't...and was a giant success

It's too bad that even if they were to make HD versions of MP1-3, they will not play as well without the pointer controls. Could still be fun, though.

ya i wouldn't call the motion plus a failure either considering Wii Sports Resort sold like crazy, i mean ya maybe they weren't expanded on 2 a crazy degree but ppl are fine with one good game for peripherals (Wii "Balance Board" for example) and i certainly wouldn't say they're "doomed to fail"
