So as far as we know:


This console is dead on arrival.

It's a souped up phone for normalfags

fuck

And people will still defend it.

They're sacrificing both horsepower and portability, even though they're marketing it as such, even after they've shown skyrim.

What is the name of that sexy boy?

Well that's one hour more than new indieshit needs right?
Iwata died for this

3 FUCKING HOURS?

This means they will sell super sized battery backs to make up for it. Every decision Nintendo makes is a genius design to pull more money out of you by getting you to buy ridiculous add-on contraptions.

What worries me is that this small system use Nvidia, what are the chances that it will explode when running crysis 3?

who is this

Nintendo Bait and Switch

I guess that's what they're banking on. Or selling a portable charger, because what the hell is the point of making it portable if you have to carry around the dock too? Or if you can't play it while charging in the dock without a TV? Hopefully dimming the screen get an extra hour out of it.

Taco Timothy

Sounds like baseless speculation to me, Nintendo didn't confirm it.

DEDICATED GAMING TABLET.

Indefensible, truly. Let's not forget that the dock has been confirmed to only be for charging and TV output. There's nothing good that can come of this other than some homebrew potential. Nintendo's missteps continue.

It also sets the stage for the imminent re-release of the console with a longer battery life and lighter tablet screen along with some technical improvements.

I'll wait till actual testing and numbers come out, OP, not lame "my dad works for rumors". Of course you have people on this board who will take rumors for a grain of salt if it satisfies their confirmation bias.

If that's the case why are people talking about the framerate drop in Zelda when the guy switched to the tablet? If everything is already in the tablet, why the drop?

Where?

What frame rate drop?

Enraged Edwardo.

The one that happens.

Actually, 3 hours battery life for such a powerful console is extremely impressive.

I'm honestly kind of disgusted that you guys are so desperate to try and find flaws when Nintendo delivered EXACTLY what you wanted.

You complained the Wii was too casual and had bad graphics.

Then you complained that the WiiU still didn't have good enough graphics, and didn't have any "hardcore" games.

Now the Switch has been officially unveiled with AWESOME graphics and hit titles such as The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, and you're already complaining about the battery life?

Like seriously?

I didn't see one

Yeah, it's kinda hysterical how they show a 5 year old game as an example of the console's power

This decision sort of makes scene though. Since Japan's home console market has REAAAAAAAAAAAAALY died down in recent years

in the trailer video, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that its a charging station with HDMI port to connect it to your TV. The actual "console" is the tablet.

That's one whole hour more than I was expecting. Still, you'd think they'd have learned their lesson with battery life from the Wii U's gamepad (I just basically ended up keeping mine perpetually plugged in, unlike my Wii U Pro Controller which only needs charging once in a literal blue moon).

Try playing graphically intensive games on a tablet. You'll get 3-4 hours maximum. The Switch is no different than other tablets just because Nintendo is involved. This is the same shit we've been seeing for years now.


Throttling. If they didn't lower clock speed on battery, it wouldnt even get the three hours. When on the dock you don't have to worry about battery life so performance goes up.


archive.is/ALAHz

nigger, it's just a glorified handheld

That's not a confirmation of much, user. I'll wait till actual hardware specs to come out to pass judgement. For all we know the base could have some sort of co-processor running in ARMbig.little configuration.

RIP Nintendo

So what, its sole purpose is holding up and charging the tablet?
I doubt they'll be able to squeeze a lot of power into such a small tablet, so is it just going to be a side-grade from the Wii U?

Yes I know this but I don't believe any claims about devices that haven't been tested.

Welp. If this is true then it is over for them. Why bu something that only lasts 3 hours when you can get a tablet that lasts longer? Either they improve the design and make it at least 5 hours, sell cheap battery packs, or portable chargers for cheap.

Saw this coming from a mile away. Hopefully emulation gets up and running for it quickly, and that's if they managed to push enough games out to make it even considerable by the end of its lifetime. God knows the Wii U has less than a dozen worthwhile games.

...

What do you expect? the dock gonna give it a boost in performance? thats as stupid as downloading more RAM for your PC. Also this

Also the archive link doesn't say there isn't any other additional features with the base like a co-processor.

Are you forgetting that most tablets have a higher res display than most PC setups?

kek

Shit, that was the wrong image.
But He's a friend from London, he reminds me of a JoJo character., I'd love to see him in person but I'm all the way on the other side of the globe


He's slowly deteriorating though, going to parties and such, and I've heard things about London being the San Francisco of the UK, so yegh. He's still beautiful, probably doing drugs now though, I don't know.


I'm praying this does wonders for Nintendo, it will definetly sell more than the Wii U, but the Wii itself is debatable

user that's what ARMbig.LITTLE does.

But why is it called the Nintendo Switch?

Fucking hell, you sound like Phil Spencer with "muh cloud processing, faster than 100 xbox360".

Yes, because RES itself makes games and their graphics magically look better.

No wonder my M9 is better than the 360 and PS3 Combined. faggot

How much battery life does the vita get? I haven't played mine in awhile but I remember getting at least 5~ hours if I turn off wifi/bluetooth.

Because it will make you switch to a better platform.

Morons will buy into this, clicks will be baited, and ad revenue will be made.

Uhm… no, it's really not…

Show me a handheld that can play The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim at 60fps on med/high. You can't.

The reason the Nvidia Shield failed is because A) you already need a gaming PC, and B) streaming = huge latency.

The Switch can render those awesome graphics in real-time right on the device.


[quote]Hopefully emulation gets up and running for it quickly[/quote]

Yeah… how about you stop stealing games?

Nintendo spends all that time porting older titles for new hardware, and then pricing them REASONABLY on the E-Shop and you've got the nerve to FRICKING steal them?

Grow the eff up.

That's literally Game Gear tier

We can't pretend that Nintendo hasn't been the kings of cutting corners hardware wise for decades now. I would be extremely hesitant to put any optimism to the Switch.

Hell, outright dismissing it might be the most wise thing to do at this point, but to each their own. If you want disappointment you can have it.

I can vary from 5 to 10 depending on clock speed, I get around 8 1/2 hours with it.

My n3DS on the other hand has surprisingly shit battery life, along with my Wii U gamepad.

What? I'm just speculating. I'm not making claims or anything. What is it about these threads that turn people into aggressive retards?

Because everything is switchable on it so they can make more sheqels. I mean, don't you want personalize your gaming goy?

Your post reminds me of the good ol' halfchan days

I know this is a shitpost but you still managed to crack me up.
Gg

I usually pull about 8 hours with wifi/bluetooth on. If this is true, a paltry 3 hours to my far superior handheld isn't going to make me buy a Switch

"Graphically intensive" is determined by the hardware and what it supports, stop mixing it up with fidelity. There were graphically intensive NES games. The fact developers have to deal with a much higher res display means the games are naturally going to look shittier compared to, say, a desktop PC doing 1080p. Same shit with phones: something that's chewing up 75%+ GPU and CPU is going to kill battery life.

NB: I'm not defending the Switch, it's a piece of shit.

Fuck off shill.

That's what I said, dummy. I was being sarcastic.

you mean he looks like a faggier version of the 80s stars like prince which jojo characters are based off of

why are there no heterosexual looking men who wear some eyeliner and foundation anymore

Well, just as long as we all agree that the Switch's tablet mode is going to be a fucking joke then I'm happy user.

Do we know if it has virtual console or not?

...

Nintendo was never good, prove me wrong.

Nintendo was pretty damn good at one point, prove me right.

snes

lets get this shit started

3 HOURS

Bettet yet

Because your speculation is fucking retarded
Do you know how retarded that sound? ARMbig.LITTLE is not an external CPU, even the notion of external CPU is dumb

The NDS was pretty good, or at least the game library was.

I'm genuinely surprised more niggers didn't take the bait. I'm proud of you today, Holla Forums

Where did you get the info of the dock not adding any processing power?
Because that's fucking horrible, if true.

I wish Nintendo would stop trying to ape the Wii and NDS with their gimmicky shit and focus on making good consoles that are easy to develop on and feature a strong first and second party support.

With the PS4 and Xbox One lacking in any worthwhile exclusives now is the time to strike, but Nintendo releases this turd instead.

Why the fuck would anyone bother with this when everyone has a smartphone?

the snes was a pile dog shit compared to the genesis though.

It's the Nintendo BS.

Was it really that hard to just make games that run well on the current gen hardware? This will likely create the second vidya crash.

Why would it? It would make no sense to limit the tablet so much when you walk around., and give it a large boost when it is plugged in. As other anons say, it is more likely the tablet itself can run faster plugged in.

I'm disappointed with the responses. You made it as obvious as possible. The only thing missing is the flag.

Lads I could use that WebM of his nicknames big league right now.

That kind of sucks, and shit. You think there'll be a hardware revision down the line like the 3ds?

wew lad, everything about this looks like a huge mess.

Well, we know that MS is scrambling to save their gaming division any way they can (and failing) and Sony is voicing doubts about the viability of a PS5.

Consoles as a platform are pretty much dead.

see

You know, I didn't expect anything less shitty then that, but having confirmation of it is just too good to be true.

PS4 Pro will probably be able to run Bloodborne at a solid 30fps assuming the massive frame drops aren't due to internal technical fuckery that can't be overcome with better hardware, like White Dragon Breath in Dark Souls which is guaranteed to move a lot of hardware if it shakes out that way.

Internet friends aren't actual friends. Even if he sends you dick pics.

Wait what? Wasn't the whole thing about this whole docking business that while it was plugged in it would be more powerful?

Yes. It will be. It will be a very expensive joke that will hopefully slap some fucking sense into Nintendo, so they can make a serious system with relying on a single fucking gimmick, but then again, gimmicks sell, maybe not anymore. Only time will tell, and marketing.


Yes, like that. I love that style. It's so aesthetic and beautiful.
Due to society's pressure on bundling men who wear make up with the homos, it would be nice as well if "Social Justice" wasn't a thing that tried to push this kind of shit harder while ironically making it backfire and fucking everyone else over by strengthening stereotypes, I swear to god. Regressive Liberals will be the end of self expression.


Yeah, the halfchanners aren't here anymore. They're usually the ones who bite the hook the hardest.
Hmmm.
6/10, would poz, not proudly.

But wait, there's more!

You're living in the past. "Exclusives" are a anti-consumer strategy which is gone now for good. Consumers now have choice on which system they like to play.

That's what I'm trying to avoid

Makes sense I guess I did always leave it on sleep mode with the game still on.

I don't think most people give enough of a shit about Bloodborne to buy the PS4 again.


And what choice is that? They're both equally shit, might as well buy a PC if there are no exclusives.

That's softens the blow a little bit, I'm moderately okay with this. I'd need to see some gameplay footage and all that to really make up my mind, but I'm a bit relieved. Although, I would love a dock module to boost processing power in the near future, a maxed out tablet and a push from a modified dock would be sufficient for me.

Wait, if the console docks does that mean Switch-tan will be male?

Why can't they just add a better battery and up the price? If this is just a glorified phone/tablet, then why not an appropriate battery that those devices already have? This shit should get 24 hours minimum. I'd be willing to pay more for the system for that, so would most others.

As it stands now the concept is everything I ever wanted in a handheld. But it's not being executed properly, and now the concept is tarnished never to be tried again. God fucking dammit.

Switch-tan docking porn where

would you buy the original price of this device?

I feel like I'm missing a joke

Hue. Anyone remember when the Wii emulated N64 games and generally was a better emulator in general than the PC?

If you want to talk about infamously shitty, lets talk about Sony's.

Wouldn't it be twins or something?

Switch-tan is a cute doggo, it's already been decreed.

was calling this shit DOA ages ago. sony still got a decent ride ahead of them but don't know how long that will last.
the fact they are getting the ps4 pro out long before the other two is just gonna destroy any reason to get the other two systems.

just look at their console history past few games it was complete shit minus a few gems

This is making me extremely uncomfortable but I kiiiinda wanna have sex with it.
I'm so ashamed, those chthulu porn threads, and demonic succubus/succubi image dumps have lowered my standards in humans.

God damn it.

got you covered, faggot

Fuck what they think, we're our own site, we can do whatever we want.

why can't we ban 4channers

It's like a girl got cancer and cut her tits off

that's a really poor heath ledger impression

They'll probably release a peripheral for it.

LEWD

Docking is when an uncut guy raps his foreskin over another man's benis

GEE, I BET THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH NINTENDO ITSELF KNOWING THE HARDWARE BETTER THAN ANY OF US. BECAUSE YOU KNOW, THEY DEVELOPED THE FUCKING THING

Well thats shit.

But the Wii-u was even more shit, and but I still don't regret it due to the fun as fuck game that are on there, even if it is like 10.
So I'm probably gonna still get it as long as the games are still there.
Although I will buy the shit out of it day one if there is a W101 sequel.


Its cute but Console tans are suppose to be qt grills only.

You're fucking stupid. Play a 3D graphically intensive game on your phone or tablet until the battery runs out. You won't make it past 4 hours.

That's wishful thinking. Exclusives are what move hardware, since from 7th gen and beyond, all multiplats are gimped for the lowest common denominator.


user I know two people who are 100% going to buy a PS4 Pro specifically for the purpose of running BB at a solid 30fps, and they both already own PS4s and one of them only owns Bloodborne and Uncharted 4


You're already in too deep, but we can go deeper.

Consumers can choose, if they want to get fucked by Sony, by Microsoft or by GabeN instead of having to get all of them. They are standardized PCs anyway.
My PC doesn't run 8th gen games and Steam's region locks became to restrictive (doesn't even launch games inside the locked region).

Nice goalpost moving.

Also it wasn't nintendo that made a majority of the VCs, they outsourced it to various japanese devs, mainly Sega.

I'm supporting the idea that Switch-tan are twins. Very lewd twins

That's a given with Nintendo

If the rumors are true it will retail for $399, so I'd be willing to pay $350 for good batter life. Not paying a cent more than that though.

Nintendo's face when they extort their customers again with battery packs, cooling pads, screen protectors, etc

back to reddit/twitter, fag
that's normalfag tier shit. if it's not an anime girl, it's not a tan

AAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA

...

I don't give a single shit what some drawfags on halfchan decided, our Holla Forums-tan is slightly different to theirs, we don't need to copy on console tans either.

...

That doesn't even apply here, retard.
What the fuck are you even babbling about? I'm talking about N64 games here, not sega.

I agree, but what kind of anime girl should it be?
I personally think its should be a Rin/Len kind of deal but thats just my shit taste.

My vote goes for Tomie or at least something guro inspired.

Some people have this unexplainable and unwarranted love for her and those people like to cut her up and separate her into many different pieces. Plus the thing is dead on arrival but you know Nintendo will come back from it.

...

I'm not talking about standard batteries you idiot. High end batteries.

My phone doesn't even last 10 hours on standby, but I know some can be active for about a day and in standby for days.

I like the classic controller pro. Most of their shit hasn't been good though. The 3DS especially.

Keep 'em coming, user.

Have it be a pair of anime boys and use that other user's docking idea.

Get the fuck out of here you freak.

Source?

...

I'm not into it. I'm just saying, if you want something to accurately portray the shittiness of the Switch, why not a shit fetish?

So you're implying the problem is battery quality, and they're using some kind of budget china battery instead of top quality nipponese lithium folded 1000 times? Because 3rd party stuff for the 3DS and Wii U is absolute trash compared to the batteries they came with. There is no upgrade that isn't physically larger.

That's a major fuck-up. Does the dock have a Blu-Ray drive on it?

...

Nah, Guro is beyond shit tier.


And docking is even worse.

I don't think its that shit though, the wii u is still way worse, and it got a decent console-tan, as did the Xbone.

Why are we listening to the tranny crazy buttbuddy of Jim Sterling?

Make them traps so we do not know what sex they are and we got a deal.

at least post the right one

...

That is absolute shittest tier.

I don't see how it's so bad to wait till something is out and tested to judge it. Like I waited till Persona 4 was out to judge that it was a giant pile of garbage. :^)

Obviously switch should be into bdsm - ready to be both dominant and submissive.

I vote for Guro.
OR MAKE THE SWITCH A CUTE ROBOT GIRL

I agree. Reverse traps are god tier though.


Alright now we are getting somewhere.

Since 7th gen hardware is good enough.

I agree, and I like traps.

No, the switch is definitely worse. The WiiU is more of a poor, broken, and abused foreign exchange student that NoA only taught to say "Fuck me in the ass" while whoring her out to anyone who would buy it for a buck.

Just something confusing, because the Switch is trying to be a tablet and a console at the same time.

...

>falls unconscious after first orgasm in sub-mode

Tablets, which are just touch panel computers and "tablet" is a marketing term, operate on a large spectrum of mobile processsors of different architectures and clock speeds. You can't just say "hurr it has more power than tablet".

I see a lot of denial in this thread.
Face it, niggers who are still trying to defend this, Nintendo wants to go mobile, but since they are so anal about their IPs, they decided to create their own tablet.

We gotta see a good gameplay demo of the Switch first.

Make the switch look like pic related

Where?
You say that like it's negative.

I'm asking what it's console-tan will look like.

JUST FUCK MY SPELLING UP

No.

...

Why do you seem to think that?

thank you good sir hello from my friend from reddit xD
he's really gay

From Soft was confirmed to be working on a game for it though.

As for OP's topic, doubt it'll be the same as SDK battery life as this rumor thinks apparently, but even if that happens they'll probably sell special battery packs for faggots who want to take this thing along. Don't see why battery life would be a problem for most of you though, it sure as fuck won't be for me if I do end up buying it once more games come out in a few years.

Why are people behaving as if the Switch isn't the exact same shit tablets have been for years?

It's the same shit, seriously. Just because Nintendo and Nvidia are trying hard to not say it doesn't mean it isn't a fucking tablet.


It's a fucking tablet. It's not okay if Nintendo does it.

(checked)
BDSM sisters

Tablets and cell phones are the cancer of gaming.

nintendo in itself is an overrated joke that is only financially sound when they put their shit on phones. you want to make money and be a valuable company make a new smartphone game every six months and make a major update every quarter.
Nintendo can only appeal to the casual market.
Nintendo will never be with the times.
GC was of the three the least powerful and sucessful.
3DS is inferior to even phones.
N64 used fucking cartridges.
Wii was a casual system.
Wii U was a system for children.
They're losing ground everyday by refusing to move to smartphones.
This Nintendo Switch is just another shitty gimmick that won't sell well and will be Nintendo's Dreamcast, as the Wii U was their Saturn.
I'll be glad to watch Nintendo implode.
Most of you kids don't remember the days when Nintendo was trying to fuck over everyone.
I do.

user, I like mpreg and masculine men. guro is pretty nasty.

Pretty much. You can run the thing hot and at high juice consumption if it's plugged in to the dock, that's all you'll get as far as "it's more powerful docked".

They aren't going to put some high-speed bus connecting the Switch to the dock so it uses an external GPU or something – that was a dead end with "docked laptops" years ago. It's theoretically possible but it would never be done in a consumer device at this price point.

I think of it as a bigger Vita more than anything.

Like at what point does a handheld stop being a handheld?

Peoples still think that the dock have a "co-processing unit" that will boost the Switch performances. While we're on the subject of battery life, how long do you think the joypad battery gonna last? can you play using the joypad while its charging? Doesn't seems like it uses AA battery considering how small it is.

I was thinking male due to the docking part, but I guess tribadism works as well.

I like what I'm reading here.

That would probably do wonders for their marketing, both in nipland and among the weeb audience. Nintendo really needs to get with the times, nobody's falling for the kid-friendly system for the whole family and all your friends bullshit anymore.

Creating their own hardware is a good thing because it's the whole point of consoles in the first place. One hardware set, easier to optimize and quality control. If they just made it for "Android devices" then there's 50 million different hardware combinations they'd have to account for, glitches would be guaranteed and their severity from device-to-device would be completely random, and people would bitch that their four year old budget e-reader can't play the new Mario

Their little remaining reputation for quality would instantly evaporate

From 2chan:

Explosion effect looks cheaper on Switch.
There's also been talk about lower FPS on Switch when in portable mode.

This is a live action video tho, they might have just edited in the gameplay footage.
Time will tell.

GC was second to the Xbox in power. PS2 was weak as fuck. And 6th gen had four major consoles, not three.

I would love to kiss ass, but knowing how hard Nintendo has fucked people in the past, I'm very careful on the Switch. We barely know anything about it other than the awful battery life which sucks hard, I'd consider me a huge Nintendrone but I've grown to know better. I still like my Wii U, not as much as my GC or N64/SNES though.

Okay, that's doable.
With a battery the size of a car battery.

Now you are going too far user.

Same, but dildoes exist and would fit perfectly with an s&m tan.

Because it isn't. Tablets don't come with controllers.
Tegra isn't just a tablet SoC.
Where did you get this?
And this?
Have you personally tested the battery to find out?
And your point?
Nobody claimed it was okay.

That's your opinion, I thought the cancer of gaming was Jews utilizing microtransactions as a gameplay element and SJWs ruining games for political purposes, not specific hardware.

...

wew. Either the entire game got downgraded or the Switch isn't as powerful as the Wii U.

Not as bad as guro, but still.

You didn't answer my question: where's the denial in this thread?
I dunno, and I won't make guesses. I'll wait for actual testing.

Pregnant masculine men?


But making them is fun. Here's some OC, take it, it's yours.

Go to 1:09 in the trailer. If you look at his eyes, the screen is off. Skyrim was possibly edited in.

That would be depressing, even the Wii was slightly a more powerful gamecube

DON'T FUCKING SAY THAT. DON'T EVER FUCKING SAY THAT. user. NO!!

of course it was. that's what they do.


no it didn't. Dreamcast was dead in the water.
Somebody clearly doesn't remember the emotion engine that compensated for minor differences.
Don't believe what wiki told you.

The explosion effect wasn't in the Switch video.

Say it ain't so. I'm just surprised it doesn't look better after Colonial Marines made Bullshots legal.

your whole post is "you guys can't prove this thing won't use pixie magic to do amazing stuff". There's no reason to assume they're including a high-speed bus that would allow the base to have an extra GPU or something, they don't even do that with laptops. It would cost a shitload.


And past Switch threads have had plenty of pics of shit chinese tablets (and nvidia Shields) that have integrated controllers on each side of the screen.

It's shit until proven otherwise.
And so far every new bit of information makes it look at least on par with the WiiU.

Wanna talk about my udderballs fetish instead?

Holy shit user, just use ctrl+f processing unit, or just read the damn thread

That is a weird thing to say about a people

gonintendo.com/stories/267215-rumor-joy-cons-to-have-analog-triggers

I can agree that all three, SJW's, Jews and Mobile are cancer.

Due to Jews making mobile shit with microtrasaction and having them popularized, lowering people's standards and having them like mediocre running game #1827725

...

...

Because it has real games and a real control scheme for those games, which is all that matters. Call me when Android or iOS have even one good game that isn't available on better platforms.

You're both half-right. The Dreamcast was either the most powerful console of the PSX era or the least powerful of the PS2 era. Really it sits in between.

They just played videos on the thing and pretended they were playing the games, I doubt the games are even ready yet.

Lower FPS in portable mode most likely means that they've got the GPU/CPU throttled when it's not docked in order to stretch the already meager battery life.

I commend you for presenting a fetish I've never seen before. I consider myself quite knowledgeable.

Amiiboo and Nintendo treehouse

but it isn't, my post is "wait until the device is released for actual testing".
That's where you're wrong, older Thinkpads are able to use an external GPU through ExpressCard adapters.
banggood.com/EXP-GDC-Laptop-External-PCI-E-Graphics-Card-p-934367.html

No, those weren't integrated at all.

They aren't. Bethesda confirmed that Skyrim HD isn't a sure thing so I'd bet most the other games aren't either.

I can't believe 18 years later Sony still has its original shill force employed to push their shitty DVD player.

If it was 100% bullshot why would they lower the framerate of zelda when the thing is taken off the dock?

Well that isn't the fault of the mobile device now, is it? I

ITT: Everyone believes everything they read.

I don't even think they did that. His eyes at 1:31 show absolutely nothing on the screen. I think for all the games, it was just added in digitally.

Fuck's sake,it's like I'm in a fucking short-bus.
Everyone's going apeshit about it somehow "not being dedicated gaming hardware"(IE:A tablet) ,graphics and interpreted capabilities,a (fucking casual) popular game used in a commecial instead of actual capabilities and the eventual video games.
Fuck's sake,people are sperging about a portable/stationary console hybrid not being on par with a stationary console while having a long lasting battery while also being relatively cheap.


Problem will be fixed by portable chargers or extension batteries by anyone who cares or actually got the time on the move/away from a plug.

The other info not provided are the circumstances of the 3-hour limit,is it onpower-save mode or "MAXIMUM BRIGHTNESS,WIFI/BLUETOOTH ON" 3hour limit?

Try playing an actually rescource intensive game on the tablet/phone with max brightness.
See how long the fucking thing lasts.

I remember played Infinity Blade on an iPod touch for 40 minutes and the fucking thing overheated and shut down,with the the battery lasting barely 1:45 hours.

I'm actually curious:
How the fuck is the eye is supposed be then?

Sure,it's a fucking commercial,though outright false advertising is going to get you in hot water and that shit is not a good idea from any perspective.

I was aware of all of those except mattresses and coughing. What's the story with that?

How would I know? I can concede that it is possible for Nintendo's games shown to be the real deal, but the third party no.

The NX being a tablet had a nonofficial word as well (;

I believe what I read in your post, user

...

yeah, I know. That shit was expensive as hell, I mentioned that it's possible.
Modern consoles use integrated RAM to save having to copy graphical data from RAM to VRAM, so you'd have to use an external bus that was fast enough to match those speeds while also being ruggedized.
Think about the connector on a Switch style docking station vs. the connector for your dedicated video card in your desktop.

That was WiiU's gameplay. Not like they can improve the performance of the WiiU anyways :^)

Just another day on Holla Forums.

We should all be coming up with a Switch-tan instead.

stop using duckduckgo

I don't think it would be that difficult to have an external bus like that at all. I'm trying to think of something that worked like it but I can't remember off the top of my head.

console-tans are cancer

By that logic
Get wrecked you 8th gen neanderthals

Its techincally a handheld. So its better to judge it by the 3DS, and Vita.

I'll fuck your asshole

nerd

This makes my penis tingle

No wait, that's fucking awesome. Fuck all the other ideas.

This is supposed to be usable as a handheld, battery life is a legitimate concern. It doesn't need to be like the Vita which can spend weeks in sleep mode without running out of power, but if you can only get three hours of play out of it without plugging in, the handheld mode loses a lot of value.

Wasn't the original 3DS only 3-5 hours with battery life?

5 Peso Pedro

Gee, I wonder why you'd have a hard time coming up with consumer devices that use specialized redundant hardware via external bus. Surely there couldn't be some economic reason that it's as rare as a unicorn.

Because it switches off after three hours.
or
Because playing it will make you want to switch to a different system.

Halfchan has some pretty good ideas.

I like this one best.

an external bus is definitely possible, I just don't think you'd see it at the price point they're aiming for. I had a work laptop in the late 90s that plugged into a docking station and that station added RAM. As mentioned previously, some ThinkPads used to do something similar.

But given that a Tegra can be made to run hot, it's a lot more likely that they just switch power consumption modes on AC vs. battery power. (Any laptop that supports SpeedStep does this now, for example.)

Nintendo higher ups need to be purged.

You say this like it's a bad thing

We went from phones with apps, but without a proper antenna so it can't receive calls. To giant phones with apps you can't have in your pocket and can't make calls. To consoles pretending to be phones that you can't use to make calls without apps.

Technology is moving backwards so fast my head is spinning.

Explain your stance.

I'm sitting right now.

what's with all the halfchan sonyggers?

You drew this or you stole this?

Here's the problem with it, saying it's primarily a dedicated gaming console, while having the option of being portable, is inefficient.
or
unless


My sides

Nintendo will just run their own app store featuring ports of the most popular things. The Switch may not run Android, but that in no way precludes cheap and easy ports of Android apps, and the revenue potential (both ad supported and paid) is too large for Nintendo to ignore.

For the marketability / normalfag compatibility that is a problem. And this POS is targeted at noone else. Were YOU waiting for a weak handheld that pretends to be a console? I can't imagine anyone was. The audience is limited to children and idiots, people who can get hyped for anything.

Except the Switch is about 4-5 times as thick as an iPad. The battery should be correspondingly better.

READ THE OP BEFORE POSTING

No one likes being spied on.

I looked up switch-tan and found it.

The dock is to connect to a tv as well, so if youndo not want to play on a smaller screen you use the dock.

Didn't the nvidia shield last like 10 hours or something?

OK, I checked this out a little.
AGP (desktop graphics card bus) runs at between 0.5 - 2 Gb/sec.
ExpressCard connections can run at 1Gb/sec, so in the hypothetical case of, say, a laptop plugged into a docking station that had a beefy graphic card, you could use an external connection to make it work.

However, I haven't seen an ExpressCard *anything* (other than like a serial port connector) that cost less than several hundred dollars, never mind the cost of having the tech itself built into the connector. So it doesn't look like they'd go that way. I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

(Latency is an issue as well. USB 3.0 can theoretically do 1Gb/sec, but good luck engineering a workable USB video card.)

Some people got really angry when I mentioned NX was going to have something to do with mobile and claimed I was absolutely wrong.

planetofjunk.tumblr.com/post/152097610072/all-righty-heres-my-idea-for-switch-tan-im

Imagine if you bought a console to play a console like a console. What a crazy thought.

I'm gonna swallow my pride and saw that is still the best tan. Of course people are free to draw their own.

HAHA TRANNYS AM I RIGHT

In the ad it instantly transitions between mobile mode and dock mode. If there were additional memory in the dock it would take time to load it with assets.
Most likely there is very little "smarts" in the dock and it simply uses a lower clock speed in mobile mode.
I think it would be smart to use the dock as a big heatsink to achieve even faster clock speeds when docked.

This. They did the same shit with the fucking 3DS and still made money

If you have a good tv, why would you even need to undock the tablet? I get it Nintendo is trying to market it as a radical new idea, but it seems like even they do not know if it is a console or a tablet.

So both the Xbone and Jewtendo switch were dead on arival and the Pisspoor only has one worthwhile game.
This generation is both comedy gold and a completely fucking joke, why is it so hard for these retards to figure out all they need is a powerful system with no gimmicks and a solid library, it can't be that hard.

archive.is/539RU

Witcher 3 is not a worthwhile game?

That is on PC.

Vita
Ouya
Shield
and now Nintendo Switch

Will this finally be the one that takes off?


hahah
we`ll see

Why would you get a shit port for a card game?

...

Plus, with mods you can somewhat alleviate the shit combat.

Why would you buy a game on a console when it's on PC?

You mean a downgraded console port, which runs like shit thanks to gimpworks?
PC is clearly the worst version.

The original 3DS only had like 4 or 5 hours of battery life.

Then they released the battery pack to hook on it to give it 2 extra hours of battery life

Then they released the 3DS XL with the same amount of battery life as the small 3DS w/ battery pack

And it was fucking genius cause people bought it all. Some people even bought the original 3DS, the battery pack and the 3DS XL

I don't think that's accurate. Here is a 3.5mm headphone plug being inserted. The tablet looks to be roughly four times as thick, putting it around 14-15mm. That's only about twice the thickness of the current ipads, which range from 6.1mm to 7.5mm depending on model. And the thickness is partly explained by the relatively durable rails on the sides necessary for attaching controller parts.

Damn. Was supposed to reply to your post.

Can't argue with that.

Because it runs like shit on PC and MS is asking less for the Xbone than Jewvidia and Intelkike or an adequate machine.

Those were 3rd parties, not Nintendo themselves
uh yeah, it used a larger battery since it could fit in the larger form factor

Headphone jack, that's so 2015

fuck apple so much

Yes, it runs like shit. But so do the console versions. Don't be silly, PC is always automatically the best version. Witcher 3 sucks on PC but it sucks worse on consoles.

The worst part
they'll sell millions

It's a smart move though, I mean. It's shitty. But it goes to show how one company can manipulate millions with enough marketing and a loyal base.

So you're saying you DON'T have a PC? What the actual fuck.

They did that with the Wii U as well, the one on top is the default battery but look at the empty space for the extra one you can buy.
They replaced it with a cheap inferior one at the last minute on purpose just to sell the real battery later for extra cash.

...

You must be blind then. Sorry man, must be rough.

Hipsters and women are not people though.

Short battery life of the 3DS and Nintendo forcing consumers to buy the 3DS XL didn't stop the 3DS from outperforming all consoles in terms of sales and killing the Vita. I doubt 3 hours of battery life will be an issue for the Switch, especially if there are third party battery life extensions or an official charger. I still have my old 3DS and never bought that battery pack shit and the battery life on it has been more than enough for my purposes.

3DS/3DS XL managed to sell like 57 million units in 5 years. I doubt it will be a problem for the Switch if it's actually something people want to get.

It is for Nintendo.

...

It's like a really fucking gay and classless version of Ziggy Stardust PBUH

That's just based on the trailer, it could be the person who edited the video being a retard as much as anything. Personally I'm betting the framerate is bad no matter where you shove the nintablet

They still have money. People or not

And even THEN, it isnt enough battery.

It's usually the worst one: an unoptimized mess.
PS4 GOTY comes with the entire content (47 GB) on one Bluray, runs fluid and looks great. There is no equivalent on PC for that.

I have a Skylake laptop and a 2012 desktop, which turned out to be useless, because the industry decided to not release any worthwhile games for it.

The PS4 version of Batman Arkham Knight strongly debunks your claim. Batman Arkham Knight runs like shit on PC.

And it runs at 30 fps with drops even lower on consoles.

Hence why society is going to shit.

more like an unplanned social experiment or is it?

Haha what a retard.
So you must be extremely new here since there's been a shitton of games coming out. Not to mention old games and emulation. PC is backwards compatible with PC.

PC version was better then the PS4 a week after release, now it's a lot better then the ps4 version, PS$ runs at the low graphics setting with a max of 30fps.

Most of the PC complaints where that is was locked at 30fps on release but the PS4 could never do better then that anyway.

Don't listen to sonypony xbot disinfo shills. 3 hours of battery life is a LONG time.

Its a CONSOLE. You know how long you can play those when the power goes out? 0 hours. This is three times longer

troubled trejo

user, you didn't even follow the conversation.

Fanboys will defend anything, you don't need to be smart when you have a loyal army of retards who will buy whatever has your corporate logo on it.

it was fucked hard by nvidia being goys, and also

While this piece of shit is awful in everyway Im sure it will have like 4 or 5 hours of battery.

You raise a good point.
Like 1/3 of this thread already

I did. They just failed to list first party titles.

was such a great show

Everytime

Consoles are now the primary platform with PCs getting shitty ports with emulation-tier performance. Or getting Wii-U (DEHR) ports or iPad ports (GTA:SA). It's that bad.

"Here" didn't exist in 2012.
Ton of shit is the right designation.
I played my old games already.
Not really, upgrade Windows for the next DirectX and half of your library doesn't work anymore.

why is this that important? It's not like the Wii U sold a whole lot of units that backwards compatibility would make sense. Nintendo will probably be supporting the Wii U for one more year until everything is up to snuff with the Switch, so just drop the price on the Wii U and fill out the early library of the Switch with some ports of titles that people who didn't buy the Wii U missed and you'll be good.


well, this isn't exactly a home console. Just a handheld you can play in 1080p if you want.

I would have like to buy Bayo 2 and XBX with the switch

It did 2 years ago, retard.
I assume its shit purely because its on PC.
Now you're just being willfully obtuse.
Windows XP is still fine to use and there's no reason to use anything later than Windows 7

0/10 definitely a retarded console fanboy who just wants to stir up shit.

The PSP has a battery life of 3-5 hours from what I remember, did I remember it right?

I feel endearment and warmth towards you user

I realize now I should have said "this place existed 2 years ago, retard". Because now he's going to make up some other shit because he's that pathetic.

...

my used surface pro 2 256gb from almost 4 years ago can run it 720p on high at 30-50fps, and it's also a full fledged computer. Snagged it for $300 off ebay about a year ago, likely cheaper than the NX too.

Granted, it doesn't have joysticks built in, so you'd have to bring a controller or a mouse, which would defeat the handheld bit.

...

I wasn't forced to buy the 3DS XL. I just dealt with the battery life.

Nintendo finally did what Sega does

Like I said, they should just price drop the Wii U to sell off the rest of the Wii U stock. Why give the Switch backwards compatibility and possibly be left with a bunch of Wii U's that won't sell?

As far as porting, since the Switch will likely take a good 6 months to a year to get it's console defining exclusive, padding out the library with ports of the best selling Wii U games like Splatoon or Mario Maker makes perfect sense. Quick extra cash and makes sure that people who missed these games cause they didn't buy a Wii U can play them without having to buy another console.

...

Nintendo is dead.

I hadn't noticed any "frame rate" drops on the PS4 version of Batman Arkham Knight, but then again I'm more focused on the gameplay than "frame rates" that the PC Disaster Race Virgins keep bringing up to try and bash console gaming.


Not really, otherwise PC gamers wouldn't be asking for refunds and bashing WB Games for it. Also the graphics look nice and again frame rate is not an issue since I don't notice it, especially since I'm more focused on playing it than trying to figure out if there is a drop in frame rate. Besides, PC gamers were complaining about the bugs, not the frame rates.


Or maybe PC versions of games shouldn't be rushed. Look at GTA V, it was released for Xbox 360 and PS3 first. It took over 2 years for PC to get GTA V. The reason why consoles got it first is because they didn't have to worry about meeting high end specs requirements. PC's on the other hand, you definitely needed to meet high end specs requirements for PC gamers to play, which is hard to keep up with since graphics cards are released with higher specs almost every year. This is why don't game on PC. The only game I would play on PC is the Grand Theft Auto series, but that's the only thing it's good for. Other than that I'll stick to consoles and not act like a snobbish autistic PC Master Race douche bag belittling console gamers.


Exactly. Plus consoles are easier to set up on multiple HDTV's than PC's are.

Nintendo pls

You realise a awful PC port is when it's just slightly above the PS4 version.

PC version of AK was only just better then the PS4 version with the same locked 30fps which is not good enough for PC so we asked for refunds.

...

That's actually not bad for a Tegra device. The Shield Tablet has a similar battery life.

Or maybe you should buy a new graphics card. I hear others saying it's buggy, but definitely not better than the PS4 version.

Thats part of why its shit

I was using a gtx960 a low end card with was better then the PS4 on launch but that 30fps lock made me refund it who would put up with that PS$ players I guess.

I got it again when they release the 60PFS patch and now it's way better then the shitty PS4 version.

extremetech.com/gaming/208871-batman-arkham-knight-is-a-mess-on-pc-surprisingly-solid-on-consoles

Salty Spaniard

Worrying about framerate rather than gameplay means you need a new graphics card if it can't handle framerate.

The PC upgrade requirement still moves at a 18 month cycle. This was worth it as long as enough worthwhile games appeared every year and weren't deliberately gimped.
Throwing money at nVidintel for running one worthwhile game per cycle is not very sensible.
My 2012 build neither runs the Witcher3 nor GTA V, because the 7th gen version of the latter was never ported and Witcher employs Gimpworks.

...

NEC had the Turbo Express.

My friends 2012 GTX680 plays those game at above the PS4 level of graphics and FPS.

Framerate IS gameplay, you ridiculous clown.

Why did you even come here?

...

Sure, but have you looked at the price?

You what? The PS4/Xbone versions are literally the PC version re-released on consoles. They may have changed some post-processing (color filters, time of day stuff) but there's no actual improvement.

He built a a pc in 2012 for $800 instead.

So if you add the cost of a 360 and PS4 and just GTA5
300
400
80
—-
780

You are a $780 compaired to the $800 he paied back in 2012, you also have to consider the price of all the other games he paid nothing for on the PC that would have cost $60-70 each at least.

And even now he can play games at better settings then the PS4

So yes I looked at the price and he saved a fortune with buying a PC and with the savings has enough for a GTX1080

Remember one GTX1070 is 5 PS4 games, so PC gaming is way cheaper overall casue the games are free.

Or maybe I don't care what I throw my money on since I make more than enough for myself. I own a house, a swimming pool, 3 cars, a yacht, 18 game consoles, 1 computer, 2 HDTV's, 1 CRT TV for retro game consoles, 1 pool table, 3 arcade machines(Batman, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Splatterhouse), all of this is located in my living room by the way due to how big it is. I make over $200,000 a year. If I need to change the graphics card just to play the latest GTA game, I'll do it. Maybe if I was a penny pincher, I would probably try buying games on Steam instead. But I like physical copies of games and I love console gaming, so I don't care what I blow my money on.

No it's not you idiot.

I don't know which is sadder: that you're lying about that shit to impress anons, or that you actually bought all that shit like a good goy and are trying to impress anons

Puffy Paco. Seriously, he got FAT, man

If this shit actually has a 3-4 hour battery life then it's OGRE. Fuck.

Did anyone take the slower processor into account? Ah who the fuck am I kidding.

Dank b8, m8.

Frame rate is literally tied to gameplay. Holy fuck why are you here too? How come you don't know this? What do you even think framerate is?

...

Except I'm actually telling the truth. Not trying to impress anyone, I'm just proving a point that money should never be an issue when it comes to gaming.

Considering how stupid and insistent you are in your beliefs you are likely both lying and dirt poor.

LOL, that's nigger-tier.

Is this pasta?
Now it is

No it's not. Frame rate and game play are two different things. Frame rate is a measurement of frames displayed on screen. Game play is all about the enjoyment of playing a game and has nothing to do with frame rate.

Why pay for games? What idiot pays $80 for a games for the PS4 when you can get it free on PC with much better graphics.

False. The only dirt poor people here are the PC Master Race Faggots like you who brags about getting free games from Steam or saving money from Steam sales, while also complaining about how $60 is too expensive to pay for a game on console. I've heard these arguments before and you PC losers are all the same, dirt poor with no disposable income.

How are you not aware that you cannot interact when there is no frame on the screen? Meaning that 60 frames per second gives you 60 chances to send an input. While 30 frames per second gives only 30 chances to send an input. This is why only 60 frames are acceptable. And why people care.

So therefore its directly tied to gameplay, poorfag.

I don't, just ordered Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition for 19 GBP new. The Witcher GOTY did cost 35 euro bucks.
Proper physical game, not some torrent shit full of malware.

It's like those guys overspending on a fancy car and then run away at the gas station, because they can't afford the fuel for it.
Steam discounts are based on completely ridiculous base prices. So you might get 33 % off from 80 € of Civilization VI.

That's bullshit. Input processing is independent from framerate on all modern platforms.

You are an idiot and no, framerate has nothing to do with game play. You're only given 1 chance to send an input, not "60", not "30". That's the most idiotic thing I've ever heard.

Poorfag? Pot calling the kettle black much? Everyone knows PC gamers are the poorfags, trying to save money with "steam sales" and making Steam Beg Threads for FREE games.

Exactly.

Sorry you're too poor for me to hear you.

...

Real answer: It depends on the game engine.

If you make your game only consider input 30 times a second then user will correctly describe your game. If you do input properly but still run at 30 fps then it will be slightly better but you still can only see a recent picture (and it's usually a 30th of a second old) 30 times a second, you're still extremely limited in what you can react to. Delay plus choppiness of information you see.

At 60 fps the current frame is at most a 60th of a second old. It only gets better the further you go up though so the new fad of claiming 60 fps is perfection bothers me greatly. Fuck that meme. We have 120+ fps monitors (again) finally so let's use them.

Input processing with 33 ms delay is completely unplayable. No game does that. Usually input is processed at 400 Hz or more.
That doesn't work this way unless you're a toddler. As an adult you're so slow (up to a second), that you need to predict to react in time.

Not really. Plenty of games do work that way and hardware like your mouse or keyboard can add several milliseconds of delay as well, noone complains.

Regardless, even if your input is taken at 400 Hz and immediately processed you will still only see the results after 33 ms on screen. There is still an effective delay in the interaction. It doesn't hurt as much when situations are predictable. When things are predictable you can basically play "blind" and you'll be doing awesome things as if you had real-time access. But as soon as anything out of the ordinary happens you're 33 ms behind + 210-20 ms reaction time as a man or 250 ms as a woman. And this happens MORE at 30 fps because with the choppy feed of only 30 images a second all movement is harder to predict.


lmao, maybe if you're drunk or if we're talking about something you've never experienced before and you're shocked / confused.

This coming from a guy who associates himself with a group of faggots that call themselves the PC Master Race, who are known for pirating games from both PC and consoles via torrenting, while making steam beg threads and bragging about how much cheaper games are on Steam, and by cheap they mean free via Steam Beg Threads. By the way, you're more likely to get malware from torrenting, loser.

720p30 doesn't bother me at all on console, while it sucks on PC somehow. I guess it's because a Windows GPU isn't really able to keep 30 fps smooth without triple buffering V-sync. Also PC games look like shit at 1280x720, while on a TV it's just fine.

Only if you are a complete idiot, faggot.

I can't imagine why nobody makes PC exclusive games anymore.

What about a dog girl?

...

user, I must say. You're really good at this. 7/10, you got many retards believing you were actually this retarded but this one post made me drop your score, it's getting way too clear.

The resolution thing is about the monitor, not about the computer. Hook up your PC to a TV and play a game at 720p. It will look surprisingly good, I know what you're talking about, used to play Crysis at 720p on a big TV back when PC hardware had a hard time maxing it at decent resolutions.

The framerate thing is probably frame-time variance. It says 30 fps because you're getting roughly 30 images per second, but really you're getting images in uneven bursts so you're not getting anywhere near what you would get at 30 fps locked. There's a big difference between optimizing a game to produce CONSISTENT 30 fps (actually acceptable for slow games that don't require quick reaction or precise timing) and increasing the detail on a PC game until your FRAPS / dxtory / steam counter shows "30 fps".

You poor thing, grasping at straws. I pirate my shit, I don't give shekels to (((Gabe))), I don't use Steam. I torrent my stuff.

It's dead in the water

I said it wouldn't last a plane ride and I was right.


I cannot believe Reddit does this for free.

You PC faggots are the retarded ones.

So you admit to pirating games?

PC Master Race being poor, confirmed.

No Nintendo, I did that after the snes. Thanks though.

You are defending gaming on a tablet

Not surprising coming from a corporate dick sucker.

3DS also has that battery life if you leave 3D on and nobody complained about it
But i guess this is a good thing since it shows we are moving away from being nintendogaf

In fairness nobody used the 3D on the 3DS for more than a few minutes.

Piracy are for poorfags, faggot.
