there's a dongle in the OP

ah no, 5ghz is capable of much higher speeds
infact i get 1/2 the speed on the 2.4ghz band than i get on the 5ghz band on my router

How does my post contradict anything you just said? I never claimed everyone uses wireless.
And you have the option to buy the dongle if you want to use wires.
Nah, both 5 and 2.4 can operate at the same speeds. That's a part of the protocol (a, b, g, n, ac,) which can work on either frequency.
5 is faster for you because it's a less congested frequency, but if that wasn't a problem for you than 2.4 is actually better at penetrating walls.

If Hori was going to make a Pokken controller, it would probably look like this.
Probably.
Probably.

According to the latest Switch patent, yes.
I was trying to get him to confirm it though lol
Yupyup that's how the launch investment feels like nothing to me haha.
And it almost worked.

But what's there to confirm? I don't see why it would be in that patent if it wasn't in. It's from last month.
Correct. There's also less attenuation over distance at lower frequencies (when broadcasting at equal power) so you tend to get better range on 2.4GHz.

Maybe that's compatible with Switch

Was it USB? If so I'd imagine it would be if there's a pokken port
Yeah, wtf
Hori's d-pads are better than Nintendo's / Sony's / Microsoft's, I'm not sure what happened with this one...You can't charge and use the kickstand due to the port being on the bottom of the screen, but you can plug it in on the raised stand
There should be an ethernet port in the base stand but if this adapter at least slots into the base port, and doesn't use up the USB on the Switch itself.. then that's fine.
Kinda getting excited to see what Nintendo have got to show, and to see impressions of the device in the next few weeks. I want one. Probably don't need one, but I want one. Hope it has a broad slate of games from day one, no reason why not with Wii U ports and perhaps even Gamecube digital titles...

no they arent i have very little congestion in my area and i can only get half of the speed even right to the router,
and ac only officially supports 5ghz

The stick basically confirms the GC Adapter might come to Switch.

Patents cover all bases. They don't necessarily confirm everything (you think switch is gonna have vr too?) and I'm just a skeptical person. I like lots of sources for things.

Because it's also a stationary console as well with a base dock that already has HDMI and usb ports.

An arcade Stick ?
That was interesting and I hope that we might get a few fighting games available at launch. Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 would be great and Tekken 7 would be glorious.
I don't know if there is a dela between Sony and SNK, but KOF XIV is also welcome.

There couldn't possibly be any reason why someone would go with wired ethernet over wifi, none at all.
I saw the adapter. I just know quite a few people where wifi wouldn't work at all. Glad that Nintendo thought of those peeps.

Tip: look at the OP again
I don't think so either, but that's likely why there's a patent for it now more so than later
Didn't somebody say a VR device like in the patents was shown to developers?
There's an option for Ethernet via USB dongle.

Sorry for my wording with "no way to do so" when I meant port vs. adapter.
Quality post, keep up the good work! Can't wait to see what you come up with next!
It's not their fault that you worded your post terribly

Is Arc System Works a Switch developer? The BlazBlue and Guilty Gear series would also be welcome.

Yeah I liked that the Wii U could use the Wii Ethernet ↔ USB adapter; it alleviated a bit the console's lack of Ethernet port.
I am a bit surprised at how much discussion there is over an Ethernet port though.

I recreated that leaked Zelda skin.
I can't believe I just scrolled through 17 pages of people going on and on about the ethernet adapter and not one person mentioned this thing at all. Doesn't anyone else find it odd that Hori is selling a charging station for 4 joycons? They seem to think that a lot of people will have multiple Switches at their house if you would need to charge 4 joycons. Either that bodes well for a cheap price as in multiple kids in a family having their own Switch or Nintendo is going to sell them separately like a spare nunchuk. I can't imagine a scenario where you would buy extra of these tiny controllers instead of a pro controller so I think that might be a good indicator of a $199 version of the system.

Wow the skin looks like that on the dock??I recreated that leaked Zelda skin.

It's not going to be $199.
Anyways I think the 4 charging joy cons looks cool.

Having to fork out £30 for an Eternet connector again is a joke. No reason for it not being included in the dock. I wonder if Wii/Wii U Ethernet adapters will be compatible?
Can't believe we are finally seeing stuff though. Hype levels reaching critic mass!

They should be compatible
Hmm seems like you are right about ac, must have misremembered or misread that. Either way, there is still a need for the 2.4 band due to its distance and penetrating advantages.
I'm not saying that there will only be a version at $199 but maybe one at $199 that is just the bare handheld system that a family could share and then the $250-300 system that also comes with the base and a game.

I've got a USB->Ethernet adapter from eBay which was literally $2 shipped from China. Have used it for my Wii & currently for my Wii U.

i read more into it and it seems it supports both bands but 5ghz band has twice the speed
Ah, that explains it.
