I think if Nintendo spent a bunch of money on Assassin's Creed games it would be the Nintendo fans who were complaining tbh

There is a zero % chance that they are releasing a "tablet" device with no touch screen.

You won't be able to use it while TV-mounted, but you'll be able to play mobile games on it.

We already know Nintendo is porting their mobile games to it.

I'm not sure why the switch's logo and name are so huge on the console. i don't think i've ever seen a non-special edition console with like half of its largest side used for its own logo.

They want you to know "THIS IS NOT A NEW ACCESSORY FOR THE WII AUUUUUUUGHGHHGHGHG"

Actually the large size ones are 1080p, but that's still less than the Androids. They don't have a VR headset though, and I think when they do they may go to 4K screens for that alone.

how many games on android/ios are even rendered natively above 720p, X1/PS4 games barely crack 800p

I think most PS4 games are 1080p, actually. 900p is generally the lowest they go.

There's no reason you couldn't actually use the d pad and buttons for Mario making if you want to leave it docked. Would be a little more time consuming but also a little more precise when it comes to placement.

Yeah, there's actually very little that a touch screen can do that buttons can't.

The rumors were that there would be ports for Splatoon, Mario Kart 8, Smash 4, and a fourth one i forget

There are a lot more than 4 games worth playing on the wii u tho

It's already happening just in the teaser video with Splatoon and Mario Kart. It's plenty likely, since it's a cheap, effective way to pad out the library - plus, Wii U owners would probably crack and re-buy for the portability. After the resources that were poured into a no of Wii U games, it would be silly not to bring them to a larger audience.

yeah it's a safe bet, really

It's going to do better than the Wii U because it will combine the 3DS and Wii U bases, but there's a lot of overlap there so not a ton better.

If only we had some kind of relatively recent example of a high-selling nintendo home console that was less powerful than the competition, from which we could estimate a best case scenario for 3rd party support!
