That comparison is terrible. The Switch only needs an adapter for one quite niche function that only enhances something the console already has. A Macbook needs an adapter to read one of the most widely used flash storage solution around.

Shonen Jump vs Capcom or don't even talk to me.
Seems likely especially with Harada saying a release date would be announced at an event in January
I didn't make the comparison to MacBooks, the other poster did.

Honestly one of my dream games.
My argument still stands seeing as you're the one that implied their lack of ethernet is a big factor into them becoming a laughing stock when it really isn't. The comparison was dumb though, I can agree with that.

Yes please.
+, -, home and share?
This seems like the most logical choice. Would be cool to be able to play it on the go
I still use my old Wii Ethernet adapter.

Exactly. If it was 2007, you might have a point.

That's good then. I'm guessing it's not proprietary at all.

Those look ace. Damn shame Samus doesn't get the same love.
Yeah, it definitely sucks, but you can only power so many things from a USB-C port. I mean, there's always Thunderbolt 3, but that's Intel-specific.

No it has - & + above the diamond pad.
I looked at a PS4 one and it has turbo and assign so probably that. (Do people seriously still use turbo buttons?)
Laura confirmed it works.

Imagine using this as a wacom or Cinteq.

From your lips to Iwata-san ears, I'll even take a an HD 60FPS port of the Wii game (secretly the best fighting game last gen)

Lol why would it be? It's just a regular USB adapter.
The middle one comes with the screen protector and game case. So just get that one.
Wish they just sold the pouch as I don't want the game case and am rather indifferent to screen protectors.

Even back then everyone had wifi, seem to remember a statistic from early last gen that a higher percentage of Wii were connected online than 360 were as the the 360 didnt have wifi originally

Wait? The base doesn't have a fucking ethernet port? Or is the adapter part for the tablet part?

Because we have to be negative about Nintendo and as pessimistic as possible when it comes to Nintendo.

Don't forget about that BotW amiibo set.
Oh so it does, I somehow missed those!

The fightstick is for the long awaited Eternal Champions reboot.
How many people buy Ethernet dongles for their MacBook? The point is Nintendo has tried to move away from wires since the GameCube (wavebird). Their consoles aren't laptops or PCs and they generally have kept their products as wireless as possible. There's no reason why they would backtrack on convenience. There's also the fact that if a power user wants it they can buy an adaptor, so the complaining is unnecessary and just for the sake of complaining
I would buy all the copies
Maybe, then again, isn't the Xbone and physical releases of UMVC3 coincidentally some time around the time the Switch launches? it's still possible, no?

If TvC gets an HD port to switch...
lmfao, glad I saw that. Great minds think alike friend
. But let's be honest though, it isn't gonna happen brethren. At least we got Dolphin I guess..... but it just isn't the same.

I'd drop hella money for Naruto vs Jill Valentine
No Nintendo console has ever come with a built in ethernet port.
Not agreeing with the decision, just saying it shouldn't even be a surprise at this point.

I'm out of the loop because my last Nintendo console was the Gamecube, but why?
How is it so hard to understand lan line speeds are more consistent than wireless.
I work in IT and in 2017 this is fucking ludicrous.

Its 2017, count yourself lucky sony/ms still bother to include them
"It's 2017" is an excuse. The vast majority don't use ethernet nowadays.
