Don't-- Don't you dare make me imagine for even a second a TvC HD.
It looks ugly, but I'm betting it'll be more comfortable than it looks. The layout seems more or less the same as the Pro, just with bulk in between the grips. I'll still be getting the Pro for the real D-pad, though.
Exactly, it's 2017. Get an AC router.
Could even use that as a basis to make it a cosmetics microtransactions based free title.

2017, when most people don't use Ethernet? Seems fair.
Yeah and fast wifi is a thing. Wired connections have stopped being Nintendo's Mo since the gamecube

Even more reason not to have one. If you want it buy the accessory. It won't cost you much money.

You say that like having internet connected to the wall via a cable is the future

Yeah 2017 where more people use wifi over Ethernet than at any point in history.

Hey guys, I don't give a shit about ethernet, but to say we shouldn't expect one because they never had one before is not a good reason. Every other console spent the 10 cents and included one.
That d-pad is awful and buttons seem so high compared to the analog on the right.
Like I said, an additional $50 to the system cost.

It's an option.
That's even better!

No Ethernet ports
IN 2017

It is. The same reason why a MacBook doesn't have an Ethernet cable. Nintendo wants to promote wireless play. Full stop. You can buy a dongle, but that's a luxury for them and not something most people would use nowadays

Doesn't sound like you'll be buying one tbf so no need to worry about it.

Why does the third party controller need 4 buttons in the middle?

I dunno...if anything, the Switch could be pretty great for lower budget/lesser known fighting games like Skullgirls, Under Night, Arcana Heart 4, etc. Tekken 7 is probably a done deal but I could see a new Soul Calibur in the future with Link returning or a Fire Emblem character in it's roster.
Nothing official but Tekken 7 seems like a safe bet. Possibly even a launch title.

LKD just tweeted that she expects the fighting stick to be at launch.
Sounds like something is lined up.

I dont entirely disagree regarding ethernet but given the system's basic premise of mobility and being able to undock at any time, I can see why they didn't.
No, but "only a very small percentage of customers still use wired ethernet" is.
It's not great as a D-pad, no. D-pads made of separate buttons tend not to work all that well. But it was a necessary tradeoff to make the two Joycons identically usable as NES-style gamepads; if they'd done something different they would've had to rethink the whole concept.
Anyway, we'll see how good or bad it really is. Looks aren't everything.

Well it is, but ethernet is becoming less and less relevent each year.
I'm pretty sure the fact that MacBooks and now iPhones are forced to use dongles is kind of an industry joke.
I am buying one, so if I wasn't worried about my purchase I wouldn't even give a shit. Just because I'm not excited for every single piece of Switch information doesn't mean I don't want to own it.

I'm not convinced it would be 10 cents when they have to route every data connection in and out of the USB-C port in the first place. There will have to be a conversion taking place, the question is whether it's happening in the dock or with an external adapter. And like I said in another post, I'd rather have an extra USB port that I can use for anything than be stuck with a LAN port that's single-purpose.

If there's a Capcom fighting game coming, it's gotta be Marvel VS Capcom Infinite. It's definitely not SFV or TVC, because let's face it, TVC is never coming back in any form.
While I never expected an ethernet port on the device, I'll get one becasue it's significantly more reliable than wifi, even AC.
In the context of portable devices, sure.
All that said, I bet a number of USB nics will work just fine, at least any that were compatible with previous Nintendo devices.

Pretty cool, I'm going to hold off. It's such a new and obscure form factor you never know what your really going to need and whos going to make it. 1/2 of the stuff I bought for the vita I never used.
You think that Hori would make a stick for Smash? It's probably the only stick at launch and will probably be $80

I agree. Like I mentioned, I don't have a problem with it, but I can see why others would.
Exactly.

I'm hoping this thing is compatible with the U Pro controller.
It's perfectly comfortable to use, and has the functions the Pro controller has. If you want something else, that's up to you.

2 new Nintendo fighters for marvel vs capcom infinite would push me to buy the switch version over Xbox one and PS4

Nice. I knew Nintendo would make something comfortable. It's good to hear that from you.

These accessories prove that I'm gonna have to sell a kidney before launch doesn't it ?
