Ah well then thats perfect. well not really perfect but acceptable. still hard to compete with systems that are putting 500gb-1TB hard drives in their consoles on release. For third party that is.

But also their global sales are ***. half of the ps4. They might be ok in NA but not anywhere else. Ackeron said: » Nintendo has confirmed it will be compatible with SD cards.

I was considering an XB Scorpio but now it's looking more like PS4 PRO + Switch instead. XB is just another Sony machine w/ less good games from 1st party devs. Siren.Akson said: » PS4 has sold to a 4:1 ratio vs XB1? That's laughable and XB360 sales have an asteric w/ the RRD surrounding it. NIN > XB let alone PS. MS is the real loser IMO w/ the arrival of Switch.

If it incorporates both Wii & WiiU designed controls into the package while also turning every game developed into portable? Sign me up Sylph.Braden

I was hoping the same thing, the nunchuk was the most comfortable thing ever just 'cause my arms and shoulders were free.

My thinking, it will be more successful than most people think but less successful than the Wii.
The marketing around it is a lot less confusing than Wii U and I think there's a thirst for high quality gaming that is contiguous between home and mobile, without rebuying the same game 2x and or expecting downgraded portable versions. From what I understand, the dock itself either has extra power or upclocks the Tegra inside the tablet when docked to get better graphics and then downclocks when it is portable. What is speculated/rumored was 1080p/60fps docked 720p/60fps portable is Nintendo's target, at least for their own 1st party games. I know probly nobody here owns a PS Vita but it is qHD supposedly, running 960x544 pixels on a smaller sized OLED screen, it looks. Which will be very interesting to see just how many pixels exactly the NIN Switch will have compared to the PS Vita in relation to size screen. The PS Vita looked absolutely amazing like Samsung's line of Galaxy OLED screens that dont explode.
Will NIN go OLED? Will it look alot better than PS Vita if not? Would be nice if they did. I'd rather pay $400 for OLED, maybe a Pro/Elite Edition?, over an LCD screen Apparently NIN has confirmed that the Switch will NOT support Dual Screen play like the WiiU. Which is absolutely *** HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE imo... ugh. Do I buy the portable Zelda BotW w/ better graphics or the version w/ the perfectly clean item/map menu screen >< Gdi Nintendo...

Always considered the Wii as Nintendo's worst system ever made... how ironic Also this. PS4 is the fastest selling anything ever of all all time? WiiU was still alive if still beating out XB1 in sales... Im sure that, even w/o Switch, BotW would have pushed WiiU further ahead Quote: The Neo Geo was a very powerful system when released, more powerful than any home computer or console at the time Im expecting Switch to have a Tegra 2 inside
YouTube Video Placeholder This dude is hilarious but nails the hammer on the head w/ his opinion about Nintendo's situation midway through the vid YouTube Video Placeholder Devs are all jumping on board due to a good reason which wouldnt add up having a Tegra 1 inside We know its a custom Tegra. It's probably not a Tegra X1 but a customized version of that, maybe with some pascal tech, but i doubt it will be a X2 as that chip is so new, it wasn't even available a few months ago.

I will put RL$ on this thing being built on 14nm dies both CPU and GPU. Kinda has to be because batery life. And if its going to be on new dies, why not X2? or at least X2ish. 5:08 in the 1st Vid - Digital Foundry 9:35 in the 2nd Vid Garuda.Chanti said: » Bismarck.Dekusutaa said: » We know its a custom Tegra.

I would be over the moon if this were true. Yeah, I saw the 1050 get leaked a few weeks ago and thought to myself, this is good news for the NX if nvidia can get cost of the cards down this low. Granted Tegra is a completely sepately business line for them, and they have been hungry for a gaming application outside shield. Looks like they have it. Reading the forums, someone's mentioned nvidia practically gave the chips up at cost to Nintendo, and this was months ago before it was official but after Eurogamer's report that it was going to be based on Tegra. so I wouldn't be surprised if the Switch way more powerful than expected for the price. I alrdy have my Pre-Order going for PS4 PRO. Cannot wait to see such on my 4K HDR set but...
I would not be too surprised if Nintendo pulls a rabbit out of it's hat and totally dominates this Generation of consoles. Even w/ 4K gaming otw from both Sony & MS alike portable gaming versions of those same exact cross platform games might be just what everyone was asking for all along. I know I was. I have nothing but extremely high expectations for the Switch. If anyone could pull it off. It would be Nintendo themselves. Now I need another Pre-Order.... YouTube Video Placeholder I guess the real "switch" was that of Nintendo themselves. Turning from PG-13 to Rated-M for Mature. Viva la Vita.. err ..Switch yah Offline
Anyone else come here wondering what this thing is and only stayed for all the Nintendo nostalgia that followed?
