Those are the usual rectangle USB ports. Stop confusing people and creating misinformation.
Edit: Blah, this is the orange port drama again. Don't even know why I searched for the pic and all. That suplemental device schematics is hilarious.

But why? Why not just move the dock. That's like buying another console for another tv, unless these docks really are dirt cheap. I can understand buying multiple tablets separately but that makes this makes less sense to me
Yep I think its going to be pricey. It would have been far cheaper if they had non detachable controllers, no dock, and no joycon grip. Like a handheld, with a tv out cable.
I personally would have preferred - a handheld with a 4.7" screen like the bottom half of a 3DS with non-detachable controls with a dock to TV. A 540p screen would be as good as a Vita and would not need as much CPU/GPU processing power thereby increasing battery life. This would then scale well to 1080p TVs.
I think 720p you're talking PS3/360 quality and that may not be ready for portability yet.

A convenience thing. Messing around with plugs, cables, dragging a whole console around, compared to sliding it out of one dock into another.

Well, the docks probably won't be more than 30-40 bucks. They only provide power and a HDMI port.

I think it they will do a bundle with the pro controller and a game (probably Zelda) and a bundle without those. My guess is 350 for the bundle and 250-299 for only the console.
Did you even click on the picture I posted? Because that's high res as fuck. And this is shutting down nonsense, not discussion. You guys are creating misteries all around and just making stuff up. It is ridiculous to get into one of this threads and just read misinformation and not the actual information we got.

If this thing had a Souls trilogy...lawd.
Orbital said xb1 and ps4 ports should be no problem.
The GF is putting my name down at Gamestop as we speak.

Its both. Nintendo can't afford to add the Pro controller in at the price the system needs to be to compete at the consumer side.
Eh, if you have two tv's in the house and enjoy playing on tv more than on a small screen? Obviously you want to play on the big family tv, but when others are using that, you can just take the Switch to another tv in another room.
Do you mean Osiris? And yeah, I'd easily buy the Souls Trilogy if it was ported... lawd, if they brought Bloodborne onto the system, day fucking one. Highly unlikely though.
OsirisBlack was the one that said the hardware is capable of XBO/PS4 ports.
I've been speculating on it being a trackpad.
So strange that multiple news outlets are saying the reception was lukewarm. When all I see is hype for the thing. I suppose we are looking at different demographics.This is about half a day old: http://www.cnbc.com/2016/10/21/nintendo-switch-reactions.html
Full article here.
Edit:
The tablet is the console. You won't have anything to play without it.

'Highly unlikely'. Hilarious.
The reaction definitely wasn't mindblowing outside of enthusiast circles. They showed the concept and nothing else, so there's really not much reason for them to be excited.

Nintendo have already said that they plan to sell this to the consumer on a lower price range (likely learning the mistables from the 3DS and Wii U), it will likely be fairly expensive to produce thus I don't expect them to be having much of a profit margin on it, thus they will ditch everything that isn't neccesarily (keep in mind this is a company that ships 3DS' without a charger).

Dragonquest XI is going to ascend this thing straight to the heavens.
Yeah, I've heard people say this before, but haven't seen that said myself. Do you know where I can find this piece of info?

Oh I thought the dock was the console. It's too bad, probably increases the price. The the pro controller is likely extra, on top of that.
My prices expectations are : Dock + Tablet + Joy-cons + a random launch game for 299$
Add 70$ more for a bundle with Zelda Breath of the Wild and a Pro controller.
You got it the wrong way around. The enthusiast circles are not as excited about it because Nintendo hasn't shown more niche & hardcore software for it that appeals to people like on NeoGAF.
Outside of enthusiast circles, people get impressed by attractive hardware/hardware concepts first and not by software or smaller details. Which is also why the reveal video has seen such huge success.

I honestly expect at least one Sku below $300, since that's the price wii u launchd and flaundered at and i don't expect they want to risk repeating that.

You know about the deep connection between CNBC and Microsoft? Seems most Media reception has been good.
Outside of the enthusiastic circle very few people actually care about gaming as a whole though. And overall the reveal may not have been mind blowing but it was certainly above "underwhelming" too.
But of course it'saconspiracy.jpg
But in all seriousness I noticed this on multiple major publications. They are reporting what they, I don't think there's any malice behind it. The only problem is that I don't see it.
What if they made an official Nintendo TCG and release a card scanner Joy-Con and then sell you REAL BOSSTER PACKS WITH CARDS ¥¥¥¥¥
Multiple? Who reported that aside from cnbc?
Also lukewarm reception must be why the reveal trailer is almost at 15 million views in two days rotfl
Here's that annomaly I found https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NoaNr69j0Y
I probably should continue only over that thread where it's more tech oriented one to not spread stuff all over the place.

Without the Joycons, that's not too bad honestly.

Most likely the final logo wasn't on the prop during filming.

WiiU disc game support has already been shot down, digital support is still up in the air. I doubt there'll be support for dvds or bluray, doesn't look like the dock does anything like that.

And a couple of others but you get the picture.

TBF that's not what he's asking for, those are investors, which have completely different wants and expectations to consumers.
There should be a full package with everything included, but I agree that they definitely need to sell the dock and the system separately, I only want it for the portable aspect anyway, so if I can buy a single system and pay slightly less, that'd make me a happy man.
Do you hear Nintendo? Doesn't matter the worth of your company went down after the reveal, you have almost 15 million views on YouTube!
Look, I get what you're saying but by all means, the reception has been lukewarm. Almost every reaction to a reveal is lukewarm. Reaction to every iPhone reveal is lukewarm, doesn't mean it won't sell well in the end. Not saying Switch is like an iPhone, just to make a point.
Probably zero chance. They'd need an emulator to run games and the streaming chip to make the wii u gamepad even function. That seems a bit much effort and money for the small number of games worth it.
It'll be easier to port them one at a time :lol:

Something else that would be cool:
Bringing your Switch to a friend, plugging it into his dock and playing your games together.
