Lowyat.net Forum Nintendo Switch Official Discussion Thread
(no fancy banners created because I'm really busy lately, probably future rework or v2 thread)

Introduction
Nintendo Switch is basically the latest hardware device from Nintendo, supposedly to be the third pillar alongside with 3DS and Wii U, but we all know it meant to replace both. Why? Because it's a hybrid device at its core.

General Information

Hardware SKU
There's 2 SKUs on launch, Grey & Neon. Other than the colours of the Joy-cons, there's no different between the two sets

Launch Price
-29,980+tax円
-US$299.99+tax
-CAD$399.99+tax
-£279.99
-AU$469.95
-HK$2,340
As for our region, we got a forced bundle (which includes The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild & 1-2 Switch) from our lovely distributor, Maxsoft that's priced from RM1,999 to RM2,399 depending on your preferable local store.

Stuff included in box
-Switch Console
-Switch Dock
-Joy‑Con (L)
-Joy‑Con ®
-Joy‑Con Wrist Straps
-Joy‑Con Grip
-High Speed HDMI Cable
-Switch AC Adapter (100-240V 50/60Hz)

Switch and Play
As it's a hybrid device, there's 3 main gameplay mode:
- TV mode
By putting the main switch unit on the dock and detaching the Joy-con, you can play it like any normal home console system
- Handheld mode
Featuring 6.2 inch IPS screen, you can easily play it without connecting to tv
- Table-top mode
Thanks to detachable Joy-con controller and a kickstand, you can just play it without restrained by tv or being stucked holding the console like a handheld. Just put the switch on some table and play it like a normal console

Joy-Con
- An evolution of Wiimote
- Features traditional input button like analog sticks, shoulder buttons, face buttons, directional buttons
- Each joy-con can be used as single controller, where you can SHARE THE JOY with someone else in order to play local co-op games
- Left joy-con features capture button that can capture compressed, lossy JPEG screenshot that can be shared to the social media. In future updates, you can record the gameplay
- Right joy-con have an IR Motion Camera, which is useful when playing jankenpon as it can detects the shape of your fist, whether you do rock, paper or scissor
- There's NFC reader directly above the analog stick on right joy-con, where it's used for the overpriced amiibo. Yeah, you need to tap amiibo on top of the analog stick
- Both joy-con features gyroscope, accelerometer and also HD Rumble. HD Rumble is so high-def to the point where people can related the vibration to an empty glass getting filled with ice cubes

Accessories
Too many, too expensive to list. Will be in next revision

Launch title
*Developing*

Region Free
Yup! Nintendo Switch is region free unlike 3DS or Wii U. You can freely play any switch game that you purchase. Buying digital games from different region eShop also much easier

Base on the image when Iwata was talking, it looks like probably something new that won't disturb the 3DS or Wii U.

That makes more sense to me.. It's too early to release a new Wii as well as a new handheld.

yep. from how Iwata said during the conference, NX sounds like it will be the third pillar of Nintendo dedicated hardware. but at the same time, we cannot rule out the possibility of it replacing any previous hardware line. For example, DS line was planned as the third pillar, but the general reception towards it cause DS to straight away "kill" Game Boy line

Nintendo haven't gone to TGS for years

My humble NX wish list:
(i) Take over WiiU's gamepad function. Gamepad not being sold in retail makes me afraid to use the WiiU.
a. Without the gamepad, i can't enter Settings. This makes storage management impossible, unable to set up network connection, etc.
b. Sometimes my Pro Controller is not responsive. The mouse icon will drift either to the left or right...
c. I can't switch off my gamepad and gamepad will switch on once WiiU is powered on. It's the opposite of Sony's DS4. DS4 unable to switch off the light bar but can switch off the controller. Gamepad can switch off display but cannot completely switch off unless i put it far away from the WiiU.

I will gladly buy 2 units of NX just for this feature.

(ii) Share HDD with WiiU and 3DS. I want to have all my digital downloads in one HDD.... Even better if i can store it in a PC.

(iii) Have a Ethernet port. Another method to connect to the Internet will be a bonus.

Is always a better choice to play online with LAN cable.

I believe it's a new console. Since the WiiU is Nintendo's worst selling console in history, it's time for a new console.

I have no regret for Wiu U though. As long as those Mario games keeps coming...i am hoping for a SM Galaxy 3 before the NX launch. One final hurrah for the WiiU.

Everyone is jumping on the VR bandwagon, I hope Ninty isn't

VR is like 3D, just a temporary gimmick, and very soon the hype will past and you'll be left with a underused VR headset with minimal games to play on

I wish for NX? go back to it's traditional console root, and don't tie your digital games physically to a machine doh.gif
