Didn't spot any new info but it's a nice run down.

I regret preordering the grey one, the blue and red version looks so much nicer.

No sure where you ordered from but gamestop told me to call back to switch to the neon set once they figured out the error with their system not ringing it up.
We've not see any touch games yet, but I guess it will be possible.

I'm just gonna buy the blue and red set seperately, I'm gonna need more joycons anyhow

I don't think any of the games have been shown doing that. Maybe if the thing has a web browser, it could work like that.

20 hours battery life per joycon. It must be pretty high in that charger/controller/holder thing then, 20 hours of self-powered battery per side plus the big battery in the middle. Potentially Wii U Pro controller range?

Fun fact, they're the opposite colors when you buy the separate set. Ie Red Left and Blue Right instead of the other way around as comes with the system.

Amazon. I can only cancel and order the other version, but both are sold out. Maybe it'll be available again.
Giant Bomb guys tried touching the screens and nothing reacted.

I still have one question that I can not seem to find the answer to, is the joycon grip that comes bundled with the console the charging grip?
No it's the comfort grip.

Yep but also is so distracting while playing mobile , grey one is better to focus on screen
I wouldn't expect a game to be released that depends on touch controls anytime soon. They are completely unavailable in TV mode, and N's marketing push is that all games can be played either way. If they were willing to compromise on that at all we'd have seen a Mario Maker port.
Didn't they say something like there's a touch-screen but they are not comitted to it or something? I suppose it has to do that it'd force games to not be playable on TV mode. Like there should be an alternative.

Thanks.
I don't think I'll need the charge grip, rather have the pro controller. But I've dropped enough cash on this console already.

We saw the vent up top before, but I don't think we saw the heatsink itself this clearly

If I can't use it for a touchscreen inventory in Zelda when playing in portable mode, as Wii U players using off screen mode will almost certainly be able to, that's going to really piss me off. Touch screen inventories are great.
That charging grip does not have a battery
Its Nintendo of course not.
Almost all reports are that they are digital.
shitpost
source to reports? Some are saying pro controller has analogue triggers apparently.
Edit: I can't find anything and looking at pictures it looks like both are digital which fucking sucks
I'm sure they'll release "classic NES" joy-con and "zelda" joy-con and all sorts of other limited editions.
Yes.
Yes, or with the (extra cost) "charge grip". The grip that comes with the system can't be used to charge the joy-cons.
I'm sure a 3rd party will come out with a charging accessory though.

If only they could have gotten the price right. That piece of bad news really soured a lot of people when the system itself looks great. I don't think it's like the Wii U where the hardware concept was flawed and the price was too steep, here it's really the price. I wish they could do an Xbone before launch as that reversal saved it, but it's too close to launch to revise pricing.
ImpressionS from Giant Bomb and other hands on reports. Not saying they are right, but they talk about the feel of them being clicky.
Charge Grip needs to be plugged in to charge as it doesn't have a battery.
I edited my post but yeah I saw some pictures. They do look clicky =/

Well designed console. Will buy but not at $300.

Heat from the display, I'd imagine. Maybe they think it's more important for it to be quiet in your hands vs sat over by your TV. I don't know if that is the reason, but that'd be my guess.

I was skeptical, but seeing all the hands on impressions, I'm actually excited now. Lots of potential here.
