No , they're pretty good and I'm using them while playing on the TV, one in each hand.Yeah, they're awful and I would never use the tabletop mode. A switch mini and cheap dock would be the pinnacle of the switch form factor for me.
Yeah, I think it makes a lot of sense that they're selling the Switch with a dock initially because they're trying to get the idea of what the Switch is off the ground, but once everyone understands that it's a "hybrid console" I think they should start selling the system and dock separately.
As it stands, they're forcing customers to buy what is essentially an accessory they may never use, and thereby increase the price of entry. Once there's a general understanding of what the Switch is, forcing customers to buy a dock with the system will just be bad business.
It would be like selling the Gamecube with a $90 GBA link-cable while providing no way to get the system by itself if someone doesn't intend on hooking a GBA up to it.
Yeah, I think it'LL be this. They might go Switch 'pro' and introduce the Parker or Volta chip with better performance at the same energy cost (or even at a smaller energy cost), but imo there's no way they're losing the successful Switch aspect.How many of these threads are we going to get? Seems like they pop up once a week and the system came out like 4 months ago.
I really don't think they'll do a switch mini and lose the "sharing the joy" thing, They might go with a bigger screen(smaller bezel) and better battery which I would love.
The logo of the Switch is the Joycons. And the animation of it shows one clicking into place.
You will not a see a system called "Nintendo Switch" that has permanently attached controllers.
At best, Nintendo will release a "new" console 4 years from now called something else, that has giant words on the box that say "Compatible with Nintendo Switch software".
No joycon means no point IMO. The whole point od this system is the beabme to be able to switch from console to portable with local MP built in with the detachable joycons. I will eat crow if it happens, but this will never happen.Why would a mini be that much cheaper? Where are they saving money?
EDIT: I guess no dock + joycon dock but still...
The difference is you can play the entire DS and 3DS library on eother system. The 3D is just an enhancement. (I might be wrong if there are any 3D only games. I am unaware of any.)Nintendo's newest handheld is a 3DS without 3D. Occasionally, they will drop a gimmick to make a cheaper, better product.
Regardless, unless there is a batrery breakthrough, or smaller newer components all of a sudden get cheaper, no one is getting better battery life on a 720p gsming device soon.That's clearly less than 50%.

And the puyo-puyo cast from PPT - an absolute cabal, I'm telling you.The Nintendo Witch: Essentially a Switch with Bayonetta 1+2 built in. Launches with an exclusive game starring Ashley from WarioWare.
How would that work, though? Wouldn't the Switch have to be redesigned to leverage the dock as extra "horsepower". You couldn't do anything useful over the USB connection.
Makes about as much sense as a Wii U without the gamepad.

Literally never going to happen.
I should do an analysis some time of GAF posts and see if the prople today saying Ninty should do a dockless Switch revision are the same people who said that a hybrid console would never work. I wonder if that's a straw man or if there is actual correlation as both points are equally misguided IMO.
This is essentially what I'm expecting, but I might move the Super Nintendo Switch to Holiday 2020 and not release a Switch Mini (depends on if they can make compatibility work). SNS could be 2021, though. As you've put forth, I don't currently expect that we'll make it through the end of 2019 without some kind of hardware expansion/improvement.
sounds too smart for nintendo to actually do it though

Would 100% go in on a Switch Mini.
Reminder that GAF "predicted" that the PSP would destroy the DS in salesThis thread is giving me anxiety about potentially getting a Switch this fall. Goddammit
How is a portable Wii U not bleeding tech...
How the hell was it a shitpost? I never said it was bad tech, but it certainly isn't bleeding edge. The tegra X1 had been around for a bit. I don't see them adopting a brand new chip that's just coming out of the gate. Unless you have evidence they've done anything similar in the recent past? If new tech is coming in 2019 that could enable someone to build an affordable handheld PS4, I think it's a safe bet Nintendo won't be that someone, at least not for any extra year or two.He's better off on your Ignore List. It was a shit post.

Goes completely against what the Switch is lol
The 3ds is being replaced by the Switch. The mini would be a very crucial alternative form factor for people who favor portability.
