I'll probably pick this thing at launch. Did for the Wii U and don't regret it.

Things I'm curious about are:

What's the battery life?

We know it has a custom Tegra Pascal chip, so how strong is it relative to the xbone/ps4/ps4 Neo/Scorpio?
(we know the t1 chip could run Crysis 3 decently on the edge tablets)

Will the dock be important for faster/smoother gameplay?

Will the dock have usb slots?

What other controller options exist besides the ConJoy controllers? Can we use previous controllers?

How much memory is this thing being sold with? Will adding expanded memory be as easy as it was for the wii u?

How's the account system going to work?

If it's not backwards compatible for PHYSICAL media, will it have your digital purchases available to use day 1?

Will the screen be a touch screen? Multi-touch?

These are just a few things I thought after seeing the trailer, and we won't get much till next year. We'll probably hear from developers announcing their games but that's about it. The console looks good, and I don't understand the mindset of "IT DOESN'T APPEAL TO THE HARDCORE" because people said the same thing about the 3ds, despite it's diverse game line up and the sheer amount of units sold.

Hopefully we this being a hybrid we won't see nintendo development split between making games for 2 systems so we'll see more down the pipeline very quickly.


I think I can answer a coupe of those.

They said something about 3 hour battery or something.
The dock is just a charge station and a tv connection. It doesn't improve gameplay.
There's a pro controller, don't think you'll be able to use old ones.
The screen is multi-touch.


Nintendo didn't officially say anything regarding battery life.
Give me official nintendo statement saying this. Or someone with a dev kit.
Source.
SOURCE?

The dock is just a charge station and a tv connection. It doesn't improve gameplay. Not Clear yet, as we see some USB ports
There's a pro controller, don't think you'll be able to use old ones. the latter is unconfirmed
The screen is multi-touch.Rumors

About the battery life, yes, it wasn't said officially by Nintendo themselves, but this was someone from the dev team that told it to an internet site. I think we can trust the source, though it's still too early and the system could be slightly improved in the next months.

About the rest of them, yes, they are only rumors, but I think what I said about the dock was an official statement, not sure though.

My uncle's brother's friend who swears he works at nintendo said it was going to have 20 hours of battery life.

I think we can trust the source.

I said that cause the site I read it from is one I've been following for many years and they are usually right. Not that I'd bet my life on it or anything. I'm sorry if you are so desperate to know stuff about this that my words did any wrong to you, people.
But yes, it's only a rumor.

I don't think you realize I'm making fun of you for posting something without any sort of backing or proof other than "There's this site I use that has stuff and it's totally legit."

If you can't be half assed to post anything that resembles backing or proof, don't bother making a definitive statement.

Otherwise you sound exactly like the post I just made.

Hence the ridicule from myself.

I do realize, and though I didn't like your manners, I'm just saying I wasn't try to make any definitive statement, but share what I've heard in case you want to know, even if it's not official.
Again, people, sorry if my doing did you any wrong.

You made several definitive statements originally.

You only changed what you said about them being rumors only after being called out on it. And even then you were trying to justify your shit by posting more bullshit.

Stop your bullshit.

Yeah, I corrected myself, cause I hadn't realized, so why don't you stop arguing, I already corrected my statements and apologized.

So, talking about the actual topic, and I'm pretty sure this one's official:
Nintendo Switch Presentation, January 12. Guess we'll have to wait, though I thought it was going to be longer, so that's good.

I haven't owned a Nintendo console since GameCube, but I'll be picking up the switch for sure. Its everything I loved in the 3DS, but 10X better.

So I heard from a few youtube sources that the switch will be underpowered when off the dock. It'll only run at around 40% power in order to favor the battery life. It might not be a problem, but some sources are speculating that because of the way the system works, game developers may have to accomodate to the drastic power changes from on and off the dock playtime. If that's the case, then it'll really annoy the hell out of 3rd party games, and then we'll have deja vu all over again with a underpowered nintendo console with little to no 3rd party support.

I'm crying. NMH3, and directed by Suda51.

If it weren't for killer 7, I probably wouldn't be a weeab and would have never come here.

Breathe of the Wild also looks absolutely amazing.

Almost everything shown was great bar Fifa and Tom Howard.
