netflix ain't 60fps
That's FP16 so it's kinda fibbing.

We knew about miis, they were confirmed to be in the system settings since January 13th.

The DF leak said 1GHz max for the CPU I believe. 3 A57s at 1GHz seems quite a bit weaker than we thought.
Again, remember this info is from July though.

Doing what?

32 gigs means that a game of this size won't fit in the console storage.
And 32 is less than 50, what is stored in a BR (using compression too).
assuming this info is legit, do we have examples of current, existing, major 3rd party retail PS4/X1 games that would be possible on switch without major compromises?

I was thinking that but don't know if these are from a guide or what. There's a blurred one too which isn't very well blurred
If a tablet with the power of an XB1 at $300 or less was feasible Microsoft would be releasing it.
Yeah, we were hoping that at least the OS will be handled by a smaller ARM CPU to leave 4 cores for the games. And it is at 1Ghz.
1 teraflop Nvidia hardware would be fantastic and no excuse for third parties to not port their games.
Its most likely 157 Gflops mobile and 390 docked.
I was worried about that as well hopefully we'll get some information about the stand by battery life soon. The 3DS was terrible compared to the vita.

I guess thiss confirmes that the leaked image before the Switch reveal was true:
EDIT: Beaten.
Yes. It was always real
Who said it is? 1080p60fps is the maximum video output possible for an app.
1 ghz ok. I guess I was thinking about the Wii U cpu.

As of July, and only for game developers so far.
I found someone that hoped for a PS4/XBO with Mario and Zelda on it.
You need to remember that Nintendo as a console manufacturer doesn't replicate anymore the industry's standard and need to be competitive by producing an alternative to the the powerful box with good controller.
On the other hand the shit is really powerful for that size.
Video output:
Maximum resolution: 1920x1080, 60 fps
Please note: output via HDMI cable in TV mode. In tabletop mode and handheld mode, the maximum resolution is 1280x720, which matches the screen resolution.

Ummmm, wat mean?
Does that require hdmi 2.1? Does it output in that?

Not if it is dropping graphical fidelity;-)

No matter how much more you will write "as of July" magic dust won't suddenly appear. Try another magical formula like "Foxconnus Ascendare". What I'm trying to say is that there is already a thread for this, don't transform this one too into the same thing.
And it's not for the game developers, it's for applications in general.

it doesn't support the h265 codec either. I don't think you'll see netflix 4K with the Switch.

Where are you getting this from? And how can you have a fixed limit on expandable memory? That doesn't even make sense
Literally the first codec listed

Still, a November launch would probably have gotten them Pascal so better battery life and possibly more powerful as well. Rush for fiscal year BS.
I really don't know why you guys do this to yourselves. Every time there's a new bit of info there's this hopeful attitude that "so, is it way more powerful now? is it now X Wii U's and nearly an Xbox One?"
No matter what the final hardware is, its not gonna be in the power bracket of a Xbox One or PS4. Its gonna be in the power bracket of a high end tablet, because that's what it is. And a really good value one it seems.
We're past the point of specs on this I think. We've seen loads of footage,we know what to expect graphics wise. Nintendo 1st party games or those with a distinctive art style will look great. Older games like Skyrim will look great. It won't be able to do like for like multi-platform port of modern games, though seeing as Rise of the Tomb raider or GTA 5 run on 360, there's no reason you wont see scaled down ports.
Quite amazing for a portable machine really

I agree that Nintendo won't likely make a traditional console again, they're still determined to make a gimmick that captures a new customer base, but the Wii will never happen again.
Not sure I agree with the other manufacturers doing a better job, but I guess it depends on what you're talking about.
With regards to games then I personally get more enjoyment out of Nintendo games. The Wii U gave me more fun than I have had on the PS4 and Xbox One. Of course there are good games on all platforms, but I'd take Mario Kart and Mario 3d land over any equivalent arcade racers and 3d platformers on other platformers for example.
While Nintendo might be avoiding competition in terms of direct power, they've now decided to try and compete in terms of online service. Comparisons are going to be made because it will eventually be a paid service, and they're going to operate subscription based games. Now in my opinion, that's one area they won't be able to compete.
In terms of games though, Nintendo can compete for me personally, and had the Switch been a traditional console, they could still have had the same big games e.g Mario Odyssey etc but the main difference being perhaps they could have reduced the cost of the actual device (if the power was kept the same).
There are 3 documents to download in the OP. There is a lot of information there that may not be listed in the OP.

It doesn't mean anything about power, it's just saying that the switch is a System-On-a-Chip. SoC. so all of the parts are directly attached to each other, not slotted in like a PC.
The raspberry pi is a SoC, for example.

Ah good point, I was referring to assuming there would be no 4k video streaming based on the OP only. But if Nintendo's official website says the same thing now I guess it's true.
Although that can be changed via a software update, as the hardware is confirmed to have 4k video support.
Errr I'm only talking about 4k video streaming. I thought Matt even hinted at that being supported earlier in this thread but I guess it's easier to just assume it can never happen? And what I mean by game developers is we have confirmation from Nintendo themselves no video streaming apps are currently being developed. So who else would have devkits as of July?
It means the final retail hardware is based on Nvidia's tegra X1.

Anyone else a bit concerned with the game card sizes. Even through the console is a hybrid I feel like with the sizes of games now this might not be enough. Nintendo could have an extra download when you buy the card but that would take up space on an already small sdcard that comes with the switch.
Other than that the switch seems pretty standard I hope that Nintendo don't fuck up
beyond what they messed up already

All this power talk and flop jargon and all I care about is that the games will look better then my 3ds and I can play them all on the go.
Oh ok thank you!
Yes, they will. Quite a bit better.
UnemployedVillain

No. That just lists the sizes they're currently manufacturing probably. Unless bigger card sizes require physical differences, I wouldn't put any thought into it

But Nintendo keeps saying it's a home console lol Alternative facts.
Yep, and they could have launched with a better launch line up. Imagine having a launch line up that consisted of Mario Kart, Zelda, Mario Odyssey and Splatoon 2. Then again the argument would be that they'd have nothing left to release lol.
Plus by then they could have launched with the online service how they want it to be, and given consumers information of how everything actually is.
But instead we find ourselves so close to launch and having to rely on "leaks" to find out about basic U.I features.
