[LordKano]

Probably bullshit. I don't take for granted any leaks that magically pop right after the presentation.

 

[El Topo]

Is that from the same list that "leaked" yesterday and claimed two different hardware devices?

Edit:
Nevermind, it is not. Apologies.

 

[Courage]

The battery life on thing is probably gonna blow huh

 

[Jarmel]

32 GB Storage?

So it can store one patch?

 

[UnemployedVillain]

Probably bullshit. I don't take for granted any leaks that magically pop right after the presentation.

Yeah. If they had these specs why wait till now to release them? Nintendo mentioned no specs so it's not like some NDA was lifted

 

[Banjotanooki]

32 GB Storage?

So it can store one patch?

Dat expandable memory though...

 

[aeolist]

The battery life on thing is probably gonna blow huh

the shield portable had good battery life on older hardware and a 720p screen, this should be fine

 

[Shaanyboi]

Dat expandable memory though...

Expandable via what? SD cards? Another bullshit propriety memory card solution?

 

[Hoo-doo]

Don't believe any of these specs.

lmao.

go ahead nintendo, pull that stunt again.

 

[KingSnake]

Isn't this practically piggybacking the leaks from Emily Rogers, replacing Pascal based Tegra (which was hinted by Nvidia) with Maxwell?

[mrmickfran]

32 Gigs would be fucking hilarious

 

[cyberheater]

1280 x 720 6.2" IPS LCD

I hope the retail unit is high rez then that but I'll take it if it's not.

 

[AR15mex]

NWPlayer123 He is a decent person on the Wii u Wii hombrew scene. He usually posts on GBA temp. I dont think he would BS like that.

 

[MoogleWizard]

32GB. Please not again.

 

[Vinc]

This rumor from emily:

Detachable controllers (motion controls and next-gen vibration technology)

has me super excited. I do want the option for motion controls. If more accurate than Wii on top of that, it would be very cool.

 

[mieumieu]

Expandable via what? SD cards? Another bullshit propriety memory card solution?

Nintendo has always used SD cards though.

 

[LordOcidax]

Fake

 

[CronoShot]

If true, disappointed with A57s rather than A72s. A57 is not very power efficient.

 

[Sheroking]

32GB. Please not again.

The leak is probably bullshit, but we're pretty certain this is true.

Likely expandable via SD.

 

[Keyser Soze]

32GB would likely be the internal storage of th flash memory for the tablet. The dock could have separate HDD (which would be larger). The only issue I see then is the transfer/management of games between the two when choosing to play on the go.

 

[Roo]

Any info on a possible Ethernet port?
welp >.>

 

[KojiKnight]

Expandable via what? SD cards? Another bullshit propriety memory card solution?

Nintendo hasn't used proprietary memory cards since Gamecube on either it's portables or consoles.

 

[Tavernacle12]

There's no way they'd do 32 gbs again, would they? Would they?

It's gotta be 500 gbs. Or 250. Something.

 

[Schnozberry]

What's a second generation Maxwell? That makes no sense. I look at this with heavy skepticism, but it's not outside the realm of possibility.

 

[styl3s]

Expandable via what? SD cards? Another bullshit propriety memory card solution?

Nintendo supports SD cards in Wii, Wii-U and their handhelds why wouldn't they support it in Switch? They aren't Sony.

I can't imagine the tablet having that much internal space i could see the shell that you place it in having a 500GB drive but if it's like wii-u where you can add additional space i am fine with having lower space because SD cards and external drives are dirt cheap.

Maybe refering to this

[cw_sasuke]

You can get 128gb SD cards for like 30€ nowadays - so i dont think storage will be an issue. Though you might have to transfer between system flash and sd card for transfer speed reason - guess we will have to wait for more information.

 

[Pifje]

It's gotta be 500 gbs. Or 250. Something.

On a device this small? That is a hilarious wish.

 

[MoogleWizard]

The leak is probably bullshit, but we're pretty certain this is true.

Likely expandable via SD.

D= I was hoping I could at least store digital versions of big multiplayer games internally (like Mario Kart, Smash & Splatoon), and still have enough space for VC games. Let's hope the storage really is expandable.

 

[Chaser324]

Seems totally unsubstantiated, and some of those numbers seem unreasonable. Don't trust this info.

 

[Schnozberry]

Maybe refering to this

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell_(microarchitecture)#Second_generation_Maxwell_.28GM20x.29

I was ignorant that Maxwell had a second iteration. I was really hoping they'd go for Pascal for the efficiency gains. This is really disappointing if true. Battery life will suffer and it will run hot as blazes.

 

[styl3s]

On a device this small? That is a hilarious wish.

This is what i don't think people understand.

The actual tablet itself isn't going to have 500gb that's ludicrous. Will the box you put it in have a hard drive connected? probably but even if it didn't you know they will support external drives which are dirt fucking cheap.

 

[Toadthemushroom]

Wouldn't this just be the dev kit hardware, which is subject to change?

 

[aeolist]

400MB/s transfer speed on the internal flash is very good, sounds like ufs2 rather than emmc

32gb is pretty standard for entry-level phones and tablets and they'll almost certainly support sdxc

 

[fredrancour]

i am gonna take these with a grain of salt

I hope the retail unit is high rez then that but I'll take it if it's not.

to be honest, we should be amazed it looks higher than 540p

Expandable via what? SD cards? Another bullshit propriety memory card solution?

nintendo hasn't made proprietary memory cards since the gamecube days. 3ds uses sd cards.

 

[AniHawk]

Seems totally unsubstantiated, and some of those numbers seem unreasonable. Don't trust this info.

what seems unreasonable and why?

 

[The Abominable Snowman]

So it's a Tegra X1 with different CPU configuration. Cool.

 

[killroy87]

I'll wait for some official specs. Touch capabilities make sense though, for playing media on car rides and everything.

You've never heard the moniker 'Pascwell'? ; )

 

[Anth0ny]

32GB seems small when you consider how large PATCHES are today, let alone full games.

good luck to anyone going digital only. start stocking up on those SD cards.

 

[Thraktor]

I call fake. Here's Nvidia's press release:

Nintendo Switch is powered by the performance of the custom Tegra processor. The high-efficiency scalable processor includes an NVIDIA GPU based on the same architecture as the world’s top-performing GeForce gaming graphics cards.

That's Pascal, folks.

 

[Tavernacle12]

On a device this small? That is a hilarious wish.

In my defense I don't really have any idea what I'm talking about.

The Wii U seems to store 3-5 full games total, less with updates and what have you. The Switch doesn't seem like it can use a extra hard drive since it's a portable. Nintendo has been pushing digital. Is there anyway it could actually compete with the PS4/XB1 insofar as this?

 

[cw_sasuke]

Switch games wont be as big as PS4/One games. They will need lower res-assets for the Switch and will optimize for the system.

 

[Mr. Pointy]

It could be specs for the older dev kits.

Edit nvm read it wrong

 

[Instro]

I call fake. Here's Nvidia's press release:



That's Pascal, folks.

I suppose theoretically the dev unit was running a maxwell based chip until the final specs were ready. I wouldn't buy into this though.

 

[Zero-ELEC]

She.

 

[Vinnk]

Nintendo hasn't used proprietary memory cards since Gamecube on either it's portables or consoles.

And the Gamecube even had an official SD adapter so you could used them in the memory card port. (only in Japan?)
