Unanswered Questions about the Switch: 72 HOURS REMAIN

(Or more hours, or less, depending)

First, some basic shit that's widely known by now:
>The hardware bundle has the core 'screen', two joycons, a charging dock with video / power cables, and a plastic 'gamepad' grip for the joycons.
>There's no pack-in or pre-installed games, and you need the launch-day OS update to access eShop, account linking and image uploading.
>The system is not region-locked, and you can access any region's eShop (though this requires multiple Nintendo Accounts, like on PSN).
>The in-built NAND storage capacity is 32GB, of which 6GB is reserved for OS updates. For extra storage, you need a microSD or microSDXC card.
>The core system has a portable battery life of 2.5 to 6 hours when not in Sleep Mode, depending on the game. Joycons run for 20 hours at full charge.
>There'll be a monthly fee to play online after the first few months. Subscribers get vague benefits like 'voice chat' and 'VC game rentals'.

Then, some extra shit that turned up in leaks and interviews, or took a long time to be confirmed:
>Day One exclusive retail games are Zelda, 1-2-Switch, and Super Bomberman R; the rest are ports and multiplats like Just Dance.
>Meanwhile in Japan, they'll have extra Day One 'exclusives' like Disgea 5 Complete and a NeoGeo game compilation.
>Day One exclusive download-only games are Snipperclips, FAST RMX (Wii U port with exclusive extras), and Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment (as a timed exclusive).
>Along with some ports, Japan's eShop will launch with new exclusives like Blaster Master Zero.
>Apart from some eShop game called TumbleSeed, and a free multiplayer beta of Splatoon 2, everything else in March is a port, or only in Japan, or both.
>Every game cartridge for the Switch is read-only; save files are stored on the system memory by default. Everything else defaults to microSD, if available.

With all that said, here's some questions to be asked:
>wherr muffer 3? wherr custum robbo?

Because unlike you, not all of us were molested by our dad and have to come online and take all our frustrations out on a videogame imageboard, user.

...

...

Why are you complaining that things are "only in Japan" when it's region-free?

Per your questions:
1. Because they know people will buy it anyways. Wait a month or two and stores will be selling used copies for $10 like they did with Kinect Adventures.
2. You already stated that Splatoon has a demo, so that's 2, which means the functionality exists on the eShop.
3. If you want games installed to an SD card instead of the NAND for whatever reason, the option exists. What's wrong with adding more options?
4. I'm still believing they're going to go back on this before they even launch it, or shortly after. They just seem so half-arsed when they talk about it, like it's not properly thought out. Though, even if they do keep it, it's probably not thought out.
But if they drop it, they look like good guys compared to Sony and MS.
5. They won't do that, as they made Wii U ports and charged you again. Might be something like in-game bonuses for owning past games, or maybe it's just so you can share the eShop funds across the 3 consoles.
6. They have and they will. People keep falling for it. Vouchers aren't that bad, though. Free VC games would be better.
7. NEVAR EVAR


Better than the 3DS, with it's 1.2GB NAND that was 100% taken up by firmware, so you had to get an SD card. Pokemon Sun/Moon took up something like 3.3gb, and they shipped all consoles with 4gb, so a lot of people had to get new ones.


I'll buy one preowned with at least 3 games for $350.
Best option would be buy one soon after launch and never connect it online for muh homebrew.
I'd laugh if they are using something similar to the 3DS's internals and we can use SigHax or someshit. That would make me laugh uncontrollably.


Stop starting console wars you shill/newfag.
All consoles this gen have no gaems, why bother putting one ahead of another?

This is pretty much the same as the Wii U Deluxe which was 32GB while the Wii U Basic was 8GB.

Switch Deluxe when?

I'd put money on them releasing a mini-Switch within a year and a half. The Switch is so bulky you can't take it on a train and play monster Hunter, and that's what Nintendo relies on for shekels.

He isn't complaining that things are "only in Japan", he's pointing that out because you'll probably need to know moonspeak just to play it.
I don't think the Switch will be particularly successful unless we get some good shit to play.

I doubt many filthu gajin piggu want to play Disgea 5 complete compared to the bunch who want to play Zeldo.

Nintendo do release some Jap games with English as an option, but usually only for games that get English releases a few months later. They've done it before on games that never come overseas, though.


Actually, since I did some checking and don't know anything about Disgea, Wikipedia says Disgea 5 Complete is just 5 with all the DLC and English coming to the West. If it's a port, they'll just leave the languages in there.

Don't care about the whole thing and it seems like it'll be a disappointing launch even compared to the norm which is already disappointing.

I still get aroused by the milking game.

...

Post switch-dog.

So is it true that the left joycon only has interference problems if you cup the thing with both hands like a mongol tard?

ok

WAIT IT HAS 32 GB OF ONBOARD MEMORY?
I THOUGHT IT CAME WITH AN SD CARD

...

It might come with a 2-4gb micro sdcard like the 3ds's did. probably not

Also who else thinks this thing has been incredibly rushed to market? Considering how much is being promised for post launch you would think that delaying the console and allowing said features to be complete and bug free at launch rather then making the console horrible at launch and putting off potential buyers.
They must have a really fucking good reason to rush it in any case.

They don't. It is shareholders giving them the heat.

If the Switch launched during the holiday season with Mario, Splatoon 2 and a "remastared" BotW (considering its release on WiiU this March) it would be the most solid launch of a Nintendo console, at least on the first party department. But shareholders can't wait and Nintendo need strong results during this fiscal year (that ends in spring). Hence all the mobage shit and this desperate launch.

God damn Jew calendar has to ruin everything doesn't it.

I have a reservation paid in full for the console due to an Old WiiU and games I got for cheap and getting more money on it through a store than ebay. Im not sure if I still want it due to how they are using an X1 and that Monster Hunter isnt announced or hinted at. Splatoon 2, NMH 3, and Monster Hunter are what keep me from canceling it despite all the bullshit they are trying to pull. PS4 only has BloodBorne, JoJo Eyes of Heaven, Nioh, and Persona 5 when it comes to games that I want. Hopefully Nintendo can get Platinum to make more games or just release Bayo and W101 again and I wouldn't be mad.

Leaked photos about the Switch's parts from China showed that the Tegra processor looks exactly like the processor in the 2017 shield tv. It's an X1 with some slight improvements.

My bad

Why didn't they just do the X2 and fix the mistake they have made for the past 3 consoles. The X2 would have been more powerful than an xbone making the Switch a happy medium.

Nintendo doesn't seem to understand that it's ok to lose some money on hardware.

The Wii spoiled them since they just used a beefy gamecube and made a killing profit margin wise.

Nintendo has always done well with underpowered hardware, just look at the Gameboy and DS.

Still, both MS and Sony now learned that it's for the best to have somehow updated hardware upon release. Ps4 Pro uses Polaris architecture (it's an underclocked RX 480) while Scorpio is rumored to have Ryzen.

I don't know if this is just with certain retailers or across the board, but the Toys R Us I work at is only selling the Switch w gray controllers this friday and won't start selling the version that comes with the red & blue controllers until the following Sunday. When I asked management why they're staggering releases I just got a shrug. I know we had gotten very few of the NES Classics and were sold out of them for a long time but we've got a shitload of both variations of the Switch. There should be no reason to sell one before the other.

I can fit a huge phone with a 5.5 inch screen in my pocket easily, but the Switch has a 6.2 inch screen & would just barely fit in a pants pocket like in that video.

What do you want to bet, that if your switch fucks up, you cant recover your saves just like in a ps3

I think the gameboy gets a pass due to the nature of its design and the price point. I cannot find DS Specs compared to GB so I cant compare it.


The Switch needed to be that middle point, they would be in the postion so that devs use it as the base and then upgrade the textures etc for PS4 and cut back for the Xbone. Instead its the last again and slowly the support will degrade.

TOUCH THE COW
DO IT NOW

Pretty good girl.

Well, if you look at various benchmarking sites, you'll find out that your toaster might even outperform the switch (x1 is close in performance to the 920m laptop gpu).

Smartest thing they did was make the screen 720p and from what I have seen its not a shitty screen, reminds of the first version of the vita.

Da fuck?!

Using underpowered hardware has literally been their ethos for thirty years thanks to Gunpei Yokoi (RIP), who designed the Game Boy specifically by trimming off things like color and backlit screens in order to save space and battery life. There's an old story about one of the other employees running into his office in a panic, going, "Sega is going to release a handheld!" and generally freaked out about the competition; Yokoi asked, "Does it have a color screen?" and the employee said, "Yes," and Yokoi said there was nothing to worry about.

The DS was significantly underpowered compared to the PSP at the time; some of that could be chalked up to the graphics processor having to push two screens simultaneously, but mostly it was just the hardware being cheaper - the DS launched for $150, the PSP for $250.

Wow, look how small this fucking console is! You cant barely fit all of your hand on each JoyCon!!

wth i hate nintendo now

So, we're entering 9th generation or this is some kind of "8.5th generation" bullshit?

It's dead. No 3rd party support confirmed. It'll be the same shit as the WiiU.
And don't get started on microSD. They are slow as fuck and in 2 years they stop working.

Did you watch the nintendo presentation? They constantly kept referring to how the controller vanishes in your hands, holding it like in your pic seems fine but the other options look like they will make you hands cramp within 30 minutes

...

...

How is that switch floating like that?

...

There are strings attached

Nintendo always releases late.
Xbox 360 had the Elite and Slim variants mid-cycle, in 7th gen, just like Scorpio and PS4Pro.

This is still 8th.


Few ways to rectify those issues:
Buy physicals. You can get them preowned and cheaper, plus faster read times.
3rd party has been announced. They are lacking in first party, tbh.
SD cards are not slow if you don't cheap out and buy the shitty chinese bootlegs. Same goes for their working after 2 years. I can a 64GB SD card for $40AUD, which is like $25 burgerbux.

Source on SD cards: My 3 64GB SD cards I use on 3DS consoles that have lasted 3 years in the consoles and longer before that in cameras and shit.


;-;
And I think that presentation was poorly translated and they meant that it feels comfy and you don't feel like your hands are clunky, like the original Xbox controllers.
I haven't tried them, but the anons that have said the JoyCons are comfy. If all else fails, buy a Nintendo Pro Controller™ for $80, goy. Or wait a few weeks for third-party controllers.


Embed related.
Message him on twitter a thousand times until he accepts to play with you, user. Stream yourself getting destroyed by him.


His big fingers are pushing it upwards at the back.

The fuck is wrong with John Cena's body? He has massive, but stubby, arms & a tiny head. His arms & hands actually make his torso look tiny. His arms are so thick & his hands are so big he's like a caricature. I had to look up more "Nintendo Switch John Cena" images because I genuinely thought that was an edit.

Oh yea sorry I got your joke but I just wanted to rant about their tiny controllers.

They're probably panicking because the 3DS and Wii U are hacked wide open.

DELET THIS

WWE actors have to get mad gains to impress people. They're strong, but it's mostly just weak bulk.
They don't run terribly much because cardio kills gains.

NOW YOU'VE DONE IT

WHO GIVES A FLYING FUCK ABOUT THE SWITCH GODDAMN YOU TUMBLR 4CUCK REFUGEES NEED TO FUCK OFF AND DIE NO ONE CARES ABOUT THIS SHITTY PRODUCT FROM A SHITTY DEAD COMPANY WHOSE BANK IS FROM BAITING NOSTALGIAFAGS, GAMER GURLS, AND NINTENDRONES LEAVE THIS GODDAMN BOARD ALONE

Good luck with that. Mark is a nintendrone himself, so it's a lost cause.

No need to be upset.
Go talk about the latest patch in the Overwatch general.

We're talking about video games, and most of the posts are negatives. Fuck you for thinking otherwise.


Anyone know if the Switch would be cheaper in Nippon? I'm visiting there in a few months, and if it's region-free and cheaper, I'd get one there.

All games/consoles are overpriced in Japan.

It's around $270 USD in glorious Nippon

They're 4 years late this time.

YOURE DISCUSSING A FUCKING CONSOLE NOT ANY VIDEO GAMES YOU LYING SACK OF HUMAN TRASH FRESHLY IMPORTED FROM NIGERIA YOU FUCKING NIGGER

Fug.
Oh well, back to getting one second-hand at Christmas.


Come on now, they can only stay the same or get worse. Improving things isn't on their agenda.

Why would you ever consider buying a console at launch especially after the previous gen

I wish I could see whatever is holding it up, but I can't.

...

If they put a monster Hunter on switch why should I not buy it?

If Monster Hunter comes to Switch I'm in and you should also buy it, for great justice.

Who is this artist and is there a term for really squishy breasts because I think I have a new fetish.

Because it will probably not be as good as earlier installments, plus you have to pay for online.

And dont forget the localization part

Lol, calm down m8. Just because you finally worked out red text doesn't mean it needs to be used in every sentence.

We are discussing a console, which plays video games. By your logic, emulation, console modding and CFW threads should be banned, even though they are clearly vidya-related.

We let you niggers have Overwatch, and that's less of a game than 1, 2, Switch.


I would of gotten one on launch if it was $50 cheaper in Nipland, then never connected it online for CFW purposes down the track.

Just hide the thread or report it. Don't be a kike and ruin other people's fun. We let the fags have 4AM every day, the board will be fine with discussion about video games.


Move to Japan and play local-coop on the train :^)
Maybe you can run Hamachi or similar to pretend it's LAN. That would be nice.


Are you the nigger from /mhg/ who keeps whinging about everything from the West? You will never be a real nip, stop trying.

You realise breasts are squishy in real life right? If you just search big breasts it'll most likely involve some squishing.

You realize it won't need to storage shit, right? Games are cartridge and everything will be stored in them.

What the fuck are you on about? Did you conveniently forget about 8-4, treehouse and other cancer?

...

...

Epic straw man nigger

HURR DONT BAN SHITPOSTING AND GARBAGE THREADS CUZ ITS FUNNNN!!!!!!!! XDDDDD SAME REASON WHY SKYRIM IS MY FAV GAME CUS ITS FUNNNNNN!!!!!!!! DONT RUIN MY FUN WAHHHHHH IM A LITTLE CHILD!!!!!!!

Are you retarded? Do you think that Capcom outsources their localisations?
Mainline MH is always done in house. Not sure about spin offs, but they rarely get released anyways.


Why would you buy overpriced software when you can buy second-hand carts that have better load times?


Fuck you, kike.
I really don't like shilling threads and constantly whinge about them.
I regularly shitpost in the shitty waifu and 4AM threads because the mods allow their shitposting.
I despise the AAA generals we keep getting here.

But fuck you if you think that talking about a console, and most of us saying negative things about it, is a bad thing. You just want to ban discussions because you don't like Nintendo. Well guess what, all video game companies are fucked in the head, so we might as well not talk about any of them.

Stick a knife into your chest cavity while crying over the mods dismissing your reports.

...

This like all consoles is a wait and see.

At the very least Breath of the Wild looks fun

Keep trying, nigger. Maybe if you keep posting your reddit-tier meme manga, you might get some enjoyment in your life.

Though, keep spamming, please. Lime already banned and deleted the other nigger shitting the thread. :^)

That birthmark on Paya better be somewhere good.

Porn when?!

I would buy one at launch like a good goy but Nintendo is once again pulling this artificial scarcity nonsense so I'm stuck playing Zeldo on the Pii U instead. At least I don't have to pay for it.

I'd seed her if you know what I mean.

Over here in Australia, we have plenty. There's lots of preorders but they still have them in stock.
It mustn't be Nintendo doing this, but the retailers.


N-no I don't. Care to s-show or t-tell me?

Paya's birthmark is gonna be somewhere not even lewd like the bottom of her foot

Don't say that or you'll summon the footfags

I'm totally not working on a Paya lewd for launch day
Haha, nope, not me!

Haha i think it would be funny if the birthmark was above her vagina
haha wouldn't that be funny? haha
if anyone has an image just post it because i want to laugh at it hahaha

It'd be funny if Paya's birthmark was in her armpit heheh

just for laughs

heh

Do ever wonder what her papaya pit smells like? H-haaha

...

There's no reason to buy a nintendo at launch when they'll just release the -pro, N-, -XL version in a year or two. Assuming they had worthwhile games at that point and retracted paid online nonsense.


Man I'd love to play an irreverent cellshaded zelda clone/rpg hybrid of Konosuba, preferably where you can choose to ignore the main enemy and spend your time conning and bullying your way to a comfy life.

>even then it's only NES Link who should be wearing pants, Adult Link was based on Z2 Link after all and OoT Link

bully simulator when?

other than the game Bully, that's not cute enough

don't talk shit about Bully

shut up james

megumin best girl

It's JIMMY
JIMMY HOPKINS

sauce for this

The Wii U lets you use an external HDD. I got a 2TB for $80 that I use for it. The biggest microsd card I can find is like $150 for 250GB. That's the biggest killer for me on the Switch, and that's fucking frustrating.

There's probably a proper green tunic in the game somewhere user. Just that no leaks for it have come out yet. Although don't be surprised if it's some kind of end game or NG+ item.

...

Not only that goes on the opposite way of market trends, but far gone are the days of single engine consoles. Every fucking game nowadays need installation because they use their own engine, much like the PC. Halo 5, for example, uses 70gb of you xbone hard drive.
A few publishers have. And even then, the same shit happened with the WiiU. Everybody was on board for launch but dropped afterwards.
Tell that to the mass market. They need to sell millions of this shit because they have been running on Wii money for the last 6 years. People will not care, SD cars is all the same shit for them. It's a fucking console, for them it should not have system requirements whatsoever. You'll have a lot f angry costumers and bad word of mouth because little Jimmy (which is the main audience for Nintendo and will make the bulk of the sales) lost all his games and save files.

What are you even talking about? These are game carts and have been stated to not install to the console. There's not going to be 70GB meme festivals because Nintendo forces Devs to compress and optimise.
They've announced no more than 20 games. Still a better line up than the other 2 consoles at this stage. Monster Hunter is almost guaranteed as Capcom won't develop for the 3DS since Nintendo is ending support next year, Monster Hunter will be the key point for sales.
Well, if retards can't figure out how buying an SD card works, they can ask their local store for advice and get conned into buying SD cards for $140 dollars.
Hell, in this day and age, people would just delete the old games to make room for the new one, since most 1st world countries have good internet speeds.

Are you retarded? Games using big AAA engines require INSTALLATION. If you manage to compress a 70gb game into 15gb using some kind of slav-tier computer magic that still is half of the console storage space. And Nintendo can't force shit since the SNES. Last time they tried it with the N64 they lost all 3rd party support to Sony (which had a much "anything except porn goes" attitude). And no, Monster Hunter is not a system seller outside of Japan. If Nintendo wants to succeed they need to shallow their far east pride and lick publishers balls so they can have all that Call of Duty, Battlefield, Assassin's Creed, FIFA, Madden and similar shit.

If retards can't figure out you are fucking doomed.

Well, let's see:
A $50 SD card can hold 64-128GB of data.
A $60, mass-manufactured game cartridge can hold that or even more.

And remember, that's consumer price. Nintendo will get these carts made for no more than $5 a unit, probably closer to $3.

They can easily mass-produce large cards that don't require installations, as game carts read/write faster than discs. Hell, they're faster than BlueRays.

Nintendo can get you on the moon at this point. :^)

:DD

So the battery life is 2.5 hours? Got it.

I told you faggots the switch was going to crash this board with nos urvivors due to the sheer amount of shilling.

You won't go to hell, OP.

Alright, we all know you're a retard wanting to sound smart by spewing nonsense on an anonymous forum. Now just shut up nigger.

sickest burn in the universe

There's not even shilling. It's mostly just anons telling each other not to be so hasty to like/dislike it for no good reason other than "I am/you are a Nintendrone".

It looks promising but if it's not better by end of year in terms of lineup, it's dead in the water.


Some fag told me that the reason I don't like loli or naked children is because I was molested.
I was very confused, to say the least.

Is it true that someone successfully dumped the tik?

Some halfchan cuck who won't release it because he doesn't want to hurt Nintendo's profits.
Fucking niggers.

Every time i get a new confirmation it isn't our home anymore i just die a little inside

Jap fiscal year starts in spring.
Ninty lives and breathes for Japan, everything else might as well sink into the sea tomorrow. Pretty much every financial decision they make is to rush out all they can until spring.

The Pokemon faggot was worse.
He said he'd only release if people spammed pics of Lurantis, then said he couldn't dump as he had a cart not a digital copy, nor CFW to dump the cart.

Then he finally gave it out and he didn't even dump it correctly.

Faggot.

Oh, I'm going to hell for lots of reasons, but my retarded screeds posts on a Mongolian finger-painting mural will not be among them.
And I'll cheat my way out of hell anyway.

Seems pretty fucking contrary to common sense if you ask me. I'm of the opinion that slim women are beautiful and aesthetic but there's a T H I C C woman at my job who's about my age, and it almost literally pains me how she almost semi-flirts with me and holds eye contact slightly longer than necessary, because she looks like she was put on this planet to do exactly one thing: Get heavily. fucking. pregnant.

I assume that, from an evolutionary standpoint, that is what's desirable if the environment is sufficiently lush to support that kind of body. I would say that being attracted to nothing but completely shaven, pre-pubescent-looking women is more of a sign that you're a pedo than anything.

Evolution has proven that men are attracted to women with slightly larger proportions. if we weren't, they'd of been bred out. That's why breast sizes are increasing across the board.

Lolifags are literally dragging the human race down. :^)

Well somebodys gonna do it user why not you

It's hardly even a question. The only one I can think of who could compete is Eris/Chris.

They're all good. Except Aqua

Oh please Aqua is the best out of all of them.

Mostly because:
I work with her and this is a career-tier job I'm going to be at for years, if something goes south, I'm probably fucked as far as work goes.

Secondly because:
She's a coal burner. Not that I honestly care that she isn't a virgin, but more that I honestly believe fucking niggers is a sign of some kind of mental illness.

Post switch tan and dog switch in the same picture.
That is the true "Canon".
I want Switch tan Walking switch dog.

Switch dog fucking Switch tan would be best though

What said

No monster hunter and the console fails. It's that simple.

Didn't see this thread before posting

Repost it here and delete that thread else mods will get pissy.

mark is a nintendo jew I doubt it

The NeoGeo games aren't an exclusive, They're just Hamster's Neo Geo ports which some are already available on PS4/Xbone/Window10 and the rest that are "exclusive" to the switch already got confirmed for coming to other platforms at a later date.

No, he's deleted Switch threads when there were multiple.

Don't worry If he tries anything I'll just counter ban on /kemono/. He wont be able to live without posting his furfue for that amount of time.

...

Sometimes I feel like I am the only one who wants to force Darkness to get married and raise a loving family against her will.

...

Darkness would rank a LOT higher if she actually got drawn with abs, instead of being a rock that looks like a normal woman.

...

but if she was an actual rock then the pain wouldnt be enough to satisfy her

He fucking better not, that place is too good for a fat kike such as himself

...

...

Lalatina can't even be a good maso. She's the worst. Aqua is a much better sub than her. A human pig like her who asks for her bullying is such a giant turnoff that she might as well live in the trash. Maybe if she copied Ryōna more she'd be worth bullying, because Ryōna is so adorable you can't help but want to bully her even though she's begging for it.

Nah

She's only good for bullying, not waifuing.

One of them was probably negative. That's the only reason I've seen him delete the threads, because he's a hack.

The system looks interesting, but as usual it's best to wait and see.
Also, the whole paying for online business is bullshit, it's probably the biggest turnoff for me, I hope they change their mind.

He also hates Haydee with a passion for some damn reason

well haydee is shit

akari is the last bastion of truth in the modern world

he's /fit/


Nice HD textures. Is this on the Wii?

not to mention that i can't speak for anyone else but i wouldn't feel safe putting my rather large multi-hundred-dollar console in my pocket where the motion of sitting or bumping into something could break, crack or shatter it

I think the game is fine, I have had fun with it from what I played

Sadly I still got another 50+ games on my backlog before I get to it

So some of the NeoGeo ports are 'timed exclusives', in a sense?
With how desperate they are for exclusives, Nintendo may well have paid Hamster to do it this way.

Most likely not based on how they were handled in the past. They started on the PS4, but xbone/win10 got some games that weren't confirmed for the PS4. Then the release date arrived for the xbone/win10 release and they popped up on jap psn the same day.

...

...

I don't really get the fuss over the Switch's 32GB of internal storage personally. I had 17 Wii U games and I only ever used my Wii U's internal storage for Xenoblade X's content patches to speed up load times and such. And even ignoring that everyone should at the very least have a 16GB micro SD card floating around if absolutely needed.

If you're focusing on digital versions of games then yes there's a problem, though it's still not as bad as having to buy proprietary memory cards like with the Vita or PSP, and the thing even supports up to 2TB SDXC cards supposedly (though they aren't actually out yet).

And people keep complaining about the 2.5 hour battery life, but that's playing BotW with everything maxed out (it appears that the Switch might be running in a high performance mode while running BotW and chewing more power than most other games will need while undocked, so most other games will probably get closer to 3.5 to 4 hours under normal usage patterns). Even my N3DSXL only gets around 5-6 hours max with everything turned down or off and that thing is monumentally underpowered. And I fully expect to see higher capacity third party batteries as well for the Switch (though this will require taking your Switch apart somewhat, but from the teardowns we've seen it shouldn't be hard to get to the battery and remove it as required).

Anyway, embed related is VOEZ, a rhythm game that debuted on phones, and is the first Switch game confirmed to only work in 'handheld mode' (since it relies on touchscreen controls).
Also stealth-announced is Vroom in the Night Sky ( youtube.com/watch?v=MBmZIIk9VQQ ), an Engrish-y flying motorcycle game that looks it belongs on Steam Early Access.

only good post here tbh

other consoles use optical media, aka slow as fuck. the switch uses solid state format, aka very faste

REMINDER FOR ANYONE ACTUALLY BUYING ONE OF THESE, PREORDERS ARE SHIPPED ON TOP OF LAUNCH STOCK!
IF THEY ARE TELLING YOU THEY ONLY HAVE PREORDER SYSTEMS, THEY ARE LYING
DO NOT BUY FROM SCALPERS

kek
Even my phone has more than that

fucking morons

Anyone that desperate to get a console at launch deserves to be ripped off by scalpers tbh

I wait till you get a good functioning cfw and play all the games for free.
Bonus points if you can play online for free. While all the cucks pay for their "chat" app

...

...

How does this make you feel?

I swear to god I'm gonna murder this cunt one day

Treat her like shit, fuck her and then don't talk to her. That'll show her.

...

Another launch-window eShop game they forgot to announce properly?
Another launch-window eShop game they forgot to announce properly.

I'm pretty sure this was a game in Mario Party.

Ultra Steep Financial loss II is now confirmed for May 26th worldwide (just in time for EVO game selections), and they expect people to pay $40 for it: twitter.com/StreetFighter/status/836971897518579712


Yep, and even the Mario Party ripoffs like Crash Bash have used this minigame at least once.

So wait, is this shit a handheld that can become a tiny little screen on a table that you play like a console, or can you actually hook it up to a TV so you can play it like a proper console?
The former sounds fucking useless, but the latter might be okay.

I'm pretty excited for this system. It actually looks good compared to the last 10 years of consoleshit.

Expect another 10 years, pleb.

Nah fuck off. I think that the new Zelda looks a million times better than the last several ones and is a return to the spirit of the older ones. After playing the console at an event I am confident in how solid it feels and it looks promising.

All of the above; the dock for "TV mode" basically exists as a heat vent, power source and HDMI-out, which lets the tablet-style processor run at max performance.
Outside of the TV dock, you either keep the joycons bolted to the side of the screen and play it like a handheld, or slip the joycons off and prop the thing on a table (usually for multiplayer).
Nintendo are advertising it as "a home console that can turn portable", essentially.

I can't tell if you're shilling or simply have bad taste.

A single gas chamber isn't enough.

That'd be a shill

Capcom hired a great artist.

But the Switch had playtest events which were hilariously exclusive, to my memory. Like "only a few people can try it out for no real reason" exclusive. Is anybody with a positive impression of the thing or anybody who actually tried it a shill?

If he's a cuck, cuck him.
Is she attractive?

...

inb4 you never receive it and the parcel dude makes off with your order

Youre a dumbass that doesnt get out much then. You could play the switch at Genesis 4, a smash tournament in the shithole known as san jose which was open for everyone.

You know what fuck it. I hate this board, its just a bunch of dumb fuck nigger console warriors that scream SHILL SHILL SHILL anytime anyone says something good about anything while spreading a bunch of disinfo like the retard I replied to. what the fuck happened to this board? Why am I even here anymore? Whatever have fun with you shit consoles and shit discussions. Fuck this.

And nothing of value was lost.

...

Why is this so important to you user.

...

Did they specify which purchases and vc games or just leave it to speculation? theyd be smart to get the big wiiu games working on it like bayo, w101, toad and such if they are not getting ports. And bayo alongside w101 would make me want one a bit more.

I'm glad you left

That shit was infuriating

No she's not, that's the worst part. She has an okay body but a huge fucking jew nose, weird jawline, and doesn't take care of her hair so it's frizzy and shit. Not cute frizzy, but the kind where it's mostly in order and then there's stray wavy hairs all over the edges and it just looks dirty.

Unclench your sphincter and read over what I said again because you're making a big stink out of my needling him for blindly tossing around "shill".

I'm going to buy Ultra Street Fighter 2 if I still have the Switch by then. I was so sure it wasn't supposed to be out until Q4 or so.


Honestly I'm not that impressed with their work, everything feels like simple lines and more lines that I see from them, like the work isn't finished.

that fucking face

Looks like she has a dragon tattoo on her body.

Why wait user? Time is money. Kill her and take her position.

We don't live in a society where you can just kill someone and take something by force like that.

...

Yes. Become her.

You don't need the case. People run their computers sitting on cardboard boxes.

I expect Bayonetta 1 and 2 to get ported at least; they've been completely silent about releasing her Smash Bros amiibo figurine, even though Platinum teased it in photos half a year ago, so expect a game + figurine bundle announcement.

Try a case like this user.

I do not recommend putting any computer parts in a waffle iron

This was years ago, I didn't want to have to assemble it and then disassemble it and then reassemble it so I just waited 2 weeks for the case.

That case looks fucking retarded.

This is my case

My friend has that case.
It caught on fire.

Has Nintendo ever let you down in letting you down? Never underestimate how low Nintendo will go.

What the fuck did they do to get it to catch on fire?

...

There's a defect in one of the power connectors to the usb ports, y'know just one day, fwoosh shit's on fire.

I can't find anything on that defect but I've had it for more than 5 years now, seems fine.

Dont lie to us, user.

Well, watch your shit amigo, you're computer can go enfeugo any minute now.

I even have an Nvidia card, still no problems


I think you're lying.

30 years of nintendo charging you for EVERYTHING and you ask this now?

The last two home consoles had pack-ins (Wii had Wii Sports, and at least the deluxe edition of the Wii U had Nintendo Land), so did the 3DS, if you include Face Raiders and the AR games. For a new console without a lot of games yet, a pack-in should be expected, even if it's a tech demo, like the Metroid Prime Hunters DS pack.

Zelda is popular enough that they don't need to have a pack-in to get a >1 attach rate.

As a sidenote to that, imagine what people would buy if Zelda wasn't available at launch. There would be absolutely no enthusiasm and it would have to sell on hype alone.

They would have moved Mario into that slot and pushed Zelda out to the years end.

YOU STUPID FUCKING GOOKS, HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO BUY YOUR FUCKING CONSOLE IF I CAN'T BUY YOUR FUCKING CONSOLE GREAT FUCKING BUSINESS STRATEGY FUCKERS ENJOY GOING OUT OF FUCKING BUSINESS 1134567/10 SO FUCKING MAD RIGHT NOW THERE ARE NO PLACES TO PREORDER AND SOME NIGGER BID FUCKING $400 ON MY SWITCH THAT WAS MY FUCKING SWITCH NIGGER AND IT WASNT FUCKING WORTH $300 LET ALONE 4 WWII 2: REVENGE ON PEARL HARBOR ==NOW== FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...

Don't buy it.

I smoke pot with a guy who works at best-buy and he let it slip that they only got nine pre-orders and will receive several hundred consoles.
They are going to do what they did with the pocket-famicom and make it look scarce to drive up resale price pre-launch
Then when it launches, only stores in major cities will be out and your local target/gamestop/bestbuy will have them.

...

so what happens if you plug it into a desktop?

I don't get it, is this a joke?

Holy shit this is the exact case I have right now only bright red.

FUCK!

It is, but not in the way you think. The joke is that Nintendo can't into technology. Because the macbook is too new for their drivers, the Switch can't tell that the macbook is a computer and not a peripheral.

Had a friend refuse to buy an actual case and ran off a bread board until he bought this.

At least I can link your flag with nintendrone whenever you show up :^)

What if it's called the Switch because it makes you a faggot?

hey guuuuuys this is auuuustin

thank god, I really thought it wouldn't come with a wall plug

But user, that will just make you want to buy it MORE, it's business 101! I guess they're hoping hysteria will override the crushing disappointment of 1.5 games available

...

It's more likely that the macbook just announces that it is chargable through USB, and the switch by default charges whatever peripherals it can through USB, so if something announces itself as chargeable, it will happily charge it. What's fucking bizarre is a laptop that allows itself to be charged through USB.

Art itself is average, but that body language is superb.

great cases. I'm using this one.


well thank god mine is that one, I guess.

His post is more of a general response to a large amount of posters who will not hesitate to call you a shill if you talk positively about anything video game related. I think it was pent up frustration of the posters who cry shill at every opportunity they can.

...

I want to fuck that.

Worst ergonomics of the century award goes to

It's a tablet, in Current Year + 2, that doesn't come with a fucking browser. A fucking BROWSER.

Any of you who buy this are cancer.

You seen upset

Why the fuck can you charge a macbook from the USB ports?

(checked)

You forgot about the 720p screen. In current year no less. Might as well game on your tablet or phone, it has better resolution.

Even the Wii U had a web browser.

Call me when it gets hacked like the WiiU and 3DS

The launch-day OS update is out, and it looks like "Friend Codes are dead" was called too early.
If you didn't already have someone added through the Friend system from the mobile games (Miitomo, Mario Run), and you haven't played an online Switch game with them, then you need their Friend Code to add them.

Because everyone does all of their browsing through consoles

Reported for being a retard.

...

Stick to the discussion.

What's funny is that Nintendo is totally alienating their younger audience. Just look at the fucking thing. Parents are going to feel uncomfortable giving such a sleek, expensive tablet to children. It doesn't look like a product for children. It looks fragile and professional, aka not something you want to give to kids. So congratulations on the huge marketing fuck-up, Nintendo! Good luck on selling this piece of shit!

Go to a mall and count how many kids have iGoys and tablets. Today's parents give no fucks about giving expensive shit to their spoiled brats.

Maybe.

...

...

Because it literally only has ONE usb port you have to use for everything

Including charging it

Something that literally no one uses on a game console except as a window for exploits.

What about on a tablet? I use a browser on my tablet a lot. If I, the average consumer, were to buy a gaming tablet, I would want it to be the only tablet I would need. For that to be the case, it would need to go online. Now, I would expect the tablet to have that functionality. After all, what company would be so retarded as to ship such a device without such a standard feature? Why, if the tablet were to not have that feature, I think I would not buy it. I don't want two separate tablets lying around, that's stupid. So what will I, the average consumer, do, if I discover that the Nintendo tablet I was going to buy, lacked this function? I think I would end up not buying it, actually. Besides, it doesn't have enough games to warrant selling off my current, browsing/multimedia capable tablet for one which can't do these things.

This is why Nintendo is retarded.

It's not a tablet you fucking retard. Did you whine the same way about the (3)DS?

So is it out yet?

Projection obviously.

some interesting projection user, you okay my dude?

What necessities and one time costs are required?

The Switch is $300
Switch paid online isn't around for a while
Breath of the wild is $60
the DLC is $20
A case is about $10-20
an SD card (not necessary if not going digital but for argument sake) is about $10.99 off amazon for a 32gb

how did you get $500?

what else do you need?

Finally, some good(ish) news.

...

...

I almost got that case, but I didn't like the uneven bit at the front & I had a spare ODD I needed to put to use so I got a windowed Fractal R5.

when MH comes out fuck yeah, are you kidding?

Not an argument.

That's my case. Easy to fit everything in. I also put the fans with shock mounts in, so it runs cool and quiet.

I plan on getting the actual controller. The joycon doesn't look comfy.

I have the same case user, but it's white.

Anything but a black or gray/gunmetal case is overly flashy for my taste.

It's been pretty good to me so far, it's sturdy that's for sure, and the fact that it has feet saved my computer this one time where my roof flooded.
