3 hours for Zelda? Not a fan

So the dock just upscales 720p to 1080p? No extra resources for games when plugged into a wall?

32 gigs is not much.
3 hour charge for Zelda is OK I guess...

Kinda just left up in the air. Not sure if its upscaled 1080p or native really. Given what we've heard from Digital Foundry though dock mode does have better clock speed so possibly native
No when you plug it into the dock the GPU runs at a much higher frequency and is able to output in 1080p.
nope,what you see is what you get.(just looks better with the dock).

I'm sorry, MORE than 6? Is that for video streaming?

I honestly completely forgot about the DF article (it's late). Still, some confirmation here from Nintendo themselves would have been nice.

32GB is alright for a mobile console.

Can a mod please add 32GB storage confirmed / 3 hour Zelda battery life to the thread title? Left that out

Well atleast its USB C right?
How long does that usually take to charge?

Depends on what fast charging standards, if any, it supports. As well as the battery size.

32gb.
As Don says, Bait n' Switch.

I think it's safe to assume it will be native since if the console can't render 1080p then it falls behind even the Wii U in resolution options.

"roughly" 3 hours. So it's definitely less than 3.

I'm confused about this charging thing...
So I can only play 3 hours straight from my TV? Does it come with a cable? Can I play while charging?

Of course. This was confirmed months ago.
Too confusing having to have a hard drive plugged in when in portable mode plus say goodbye to that battery life if this was possible.

32gb?
Well you can kiss any hope of current gen third party support goodbye with that then. Games get patches bigger than 32gb these days, let alone not being enough for a single digital download of an actual game.
Guess that also confirms it's the original 7th gen version of Skyrim, not the remaster.
Fuck me but this is a cacophony of fuck ups by Nintendo. I mean you expect them to fuck something up, but they're setting a personal best here by quite a margin.
EDIT: yes, you can add extra storage with SD cards, but it's expensive per gigabyte, slow as fuck, and most customers won't actually do so.
As far as developers have to be concerned, the only storage available is what the system ships with, and thus pitifully small amount means most modern third party titles will simply not be coming to the system.

1. It's an extra cost on top of an already expensive system.
2. It's slower than internal storage.
3. 32GB is pathetically low.

Would you prefer 720p games on a 1080p screen or 720p screen? Native is typically way better. And rendering 1080p on the go would be very battery intensive.
No, if you're playing on your TV then the Switch will be docked and the dock is plugged into the wall and runs on electricity.
You can also have a separate charger to charge and play in portable and desktop mode, like a smartphone.

Also with how big games are getting now 32gb is horribly low on storage space. Hell I would even argue if you play a lot of games 2TB might not be enough for you.
if they paid to license Dolby or DTS they would list it. They cheapened out again .
