100% sure this will be a DLC weapon if Monster Hunter 5 hits the Switch
People have been ragging on Nintendo that the company makes shitty hardware. The Switch's sleek design makes the other consoles look like refrigerators. Somehow Nintendo and its hardware team figured out how to stuff all that power into a sleek looking unit that it portable.
it's fake btw lol
that red design tho..
Sleek? Look at the bezels on that thing. It's ridiculous to be dropping in 2017 and considering that "sleek".
Especially since the Joy Cons are attachments held during use so there is absolutely no functional reason like an area to rest your fingers near touch targets should exist.
I wonder if we might get games that don't use the modular controllers at all, if the screen is truly touch screen. Something like a VN game.
Games will have to be compatible with TV mode. I see the touch screen being used for things, but everything's gonna have to be compatible with other control methods.
Lmao!Get them a pre-order receipt.
That's a good point, I wasn't thinking it all the way through. Would be a completely different form factor (no detachable controllers, fatter, ???), which opens some doors if they can get the thermal part sorted out. Wonder if Nintendo has started looking into apple-style metal unibody designs...Possible, but a smaller SKU like what I described would draw less power to begin with (smaller screen, less wireless stuff going on), and it would probably be fatter, so it could fit a bigger battery. Tons of assumptions ahead: If the Switch runs at higher clocks or uses more compute units when docked, Nintendo might already start binning the chips. The ones that are not good enough get set aside for a potential pure handheld for, I don't know, late 2018?

I with you. The portable part for me is for being able to play all around the house and not be stuck to the lounge room.I wonder if it is weird for me not to get all that bothered by the 3 hours battery rumor. I mean, I always carry my chargers anyway during my Vita/3DS days and of the times I played them--like, when waiting for a movie to start--I always play nearby a power plug and play while charging.
And despite their "handheld" status, most of the time I played those two were at home anyways, hahah.

I can see myself tossing the system and the pro controller in a bag and using them in places where there's no TV for the dock.
It's great how flexible this system is with all of its different configurations.

This 100%. This is what makes it different than just a handheld for me. So when I play at work for example, unlike the 3DS where I get hand cramps, I can just put the kickstand out and take off the controllers like the guy did in the plane and play like that with my hands completely free from each other.Kickstand mode is godlike and totes unexpected

I feel like this is the kind of product I could buy my girlfriend that would get her into gaming.
Do people think a 299 price tag?
I'm afraid even September would be too optimistic, if Mario isn't launch, I don't think it's gonna be out until November/December.
Yiss easily one of my favorite features.Kickstand mode is godlike and totes unexpected
Floor? That price is more like a ceiling that would soon be lowered just like their previous two consoles.Maybe, but that's the floor for Switch. After 3DS and Wii U hardware losses I think Nintendo will not accept razor blade prices.

Question how are the Japanese fans taking this news? I know there forums are as bad as places like gamefaqs but there has to be some normal forums there too lol.

I made more requested theme designs for the Switch! Featuring Xenoblade, Star Fox, F-Zero, N64 Pikachu...and Sanic
Next year will mark the second two years interim time period between action MH games (not counting non-action spin off and MH3U Wii U port). While MH is already set cultural milestone in Japan, Capcom can't delay the next MH game release so they can keep the interest of their player. Not to mention that the current interim period is filled by the half-mainline MHGen, which while bring lots of gameplay improvement, is inferior to MH3U in term of raw content (lots of old monster, lack of the new one, padded multi monster quests and ultimately being a non G version game). An announcement and release next year is an ideal scenario for Capcom, while 2018 is the very least because otherwise the interim period will be just too long.
Also I can't see Capcom doing a 3DS-Switch release for their next mainline game. It will split their player base especially when considering online functionality in 3DS MH games. If they want to wait for the install base first, Capcom can release MHGen Ultimate first as a Switch exclusive titile. Nintendo help will be crucial as both of them need to build Switch install base as fast as possible.
I think they will do the same than with 3DS. An enhanced port near launch (MHXG) and a new mainline game later. They will probably tease the 5 very early.
I hope the tablet form can be charged alone here. Especially using power bank so i won't have problem playing the game outside.^_^
If you watch the trailer you can clearly see the device plugged into what looks like a charging cable at the bottom of the device.

I really hope Nintendo doesn't cheap out on storage.
I bought a 128GB Ultrafit USB drive for my WiiU for $40AU almost a year ago. Nintendo could get 128GB of flash right now wholesale for fucking next to nothing.
So could you though. Storage options makes more sense. Most companies just use storage to slap £50 extra on.
I paid $40AU for 128 and have to use up a USB port.
Nintendo would only need to pay $5-$10 at most.

Because you need to be able to, at the drop of a hat, yank the Switch out of its dock, I'm gonna assume that the only storage Nintendo will allow will be SD cards, and they'll sit somewhere in the actual Switch unit itself, not the dock.
If you have a USB hard drive plugged into the dock, and you're running a game off of it, if you pull the Switch out of the dock you'd probably fuck it up and corrupt your file. I'll never say never, because there are USB ports on the dock so maybe they have a solution for that, but for now I'm assuming that only SD cards will work for digital games, patches, saves, etc. The USB ports on the dock are probably for peripherals like a camera or maybe even a USB sensor bar down the road.
That's not how that works.
All those mockups we've seen about replaceable, game-specific JoyCons..GameCube JoyCons, Yokai Watch JoyCons....
I was thinking that 'Nintendo Switch' makes sense somewhat for a device that switches between handheld and home console, but there are plenty of words that would have communicated that purpose more clearly.
I think the name 'Switch' is intended to be more all-encompassing. It can't just mean switching between home and portable.
I think from the name 'Switch' itself, we can deduce that game-specific or genre-specific JoyCons that you can 'switch out' will be a thing at launch.
I don't know, this sounds like quite a stretch. First off, what term is more precies for the NS' currently announced functionalities? Secondly, I highly doubt they will allow games that support one special controller only, so genre-specific controllers would be as necessary as a steering wheel for racing games, making it effectively a non-issue.
