This is just a concept of Nintendo Switch VR, but isn't it amazing? Wonder if its possible.

Also, the Joycons make perfect VR controllers. Bonus!

a grim reminder once again, as much as you hate maxshit for forcing the bundles, don't be tempted grabbing the obvious overprice, marked up from play-asia

Yup agreed.

Nintendo Switch is so perfect for VR, really hope they push through with it, even though Miyamoto is uneasy about it.

Also really wish SF5 wasn't a Sony exclusive, and hope the other big title fighting games will come to Switch.

The Switch is a great instant portable tournament/vs machine.

Oh man! One week to go!

By the way, seems like bundling strategy isn't unique to here. Dubai is doing the same:

so basically, while other places like Japan and USA aren't forced with Z:BOTW and 1-2S "bundled", every other region that takes stocks with Maxsoft are forced to have the bundle shoved down?

I just don't understand why they need to shove the 2 games down? Is it because they need to give the impression "hey, Zelda sold out, and now 1-2S sold out, so you third party devs, listen up, switch sells, the game sells, see?"
*
It's more of having power over a captive market. You can sort of 'force' sales.

More competition would make it more difficult to do these sort of practice.

At first I wanted to the Neon colours, but when I found out it wasn't a limited edition and they were selling Neon joy cons as well, I liked the grey ones better tongue.gif

I'm still torn. Gray has that nice understated look to it. But neon pulak is super outlandish. Love both! Damn

This will truly be the beauty of the Switch, easy to just setup spontaneous tournaments or competitions.

Hopefully others will realise the Switch's potential to also enhance events and make them fun.

Not sure if anybody posted, but one of the Nintendo Switch skin companies cancelled their orders and issued an announcement to be careful, because it damaged the surface.

Watching some youtuber playing Zelda live seems pretty boring, open world so huge. Still observing the gameplay. Look similar to Monster Hunter style, and weapon get damage pretty easily.

Apparently it is just that bit slightly different from other open world games https://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/201...d/#4a40bbd91144

I am eyeing Fast RMX.

Online multiplayer race. All this while sitting down in the LRT to USJ7. Pretty freaking awesome that I can do this with DiGi portable Wifi feeding the online connectivity. With no warping or blinking in and out too!

Looks awesome

To those without screen protectors, please note that there are reports that the dock may leave scratch marks on the screen (maybe those who are not careful). However, there is a very simple and cheap DIY fix

Looked at ifixit teardown yesterday and was really disappointed with the dock. It just has a board on it and just a piece of plastic. Rip

And here people are hoping it could actually be upgradable in the future, to give more horsepower
*
I'm wondering if third party docks will appear in the future, since it seems to only be a USB Hub and video pass through. I'd like a dock that doesn't cover the screen, but also doubles as a stand.

edit: as for the dock, no doubt 3rd party ones will appear later in the future, bar from few chips that isn't recognized most of them can be purchase from farnell or any other shop. then figuring out which replacement can be used, design the circuitry, ordering your own pcb and viola 3rd party dock. although I doubt it will be faaar cheaper unless they don't come with the usb power adapter
*
Yup hope so. My idea is for a dock that is minimal in design, also acts as a stand (doesn't block screen), allowing play while charging, and also folds up as a case. Awesome no?

Beauty of Switch is it's a different device to different people. Portable to some, fun home console with Nintendo IP to others.

For me, I love the social part of it, great for multiplayer BOTH at home or outside.

I'm lucky to get Nintendo pouch with SP.. I think this is the most practical case, thank you for the video posting. You made my decision easy. Nevertheless, Waterfield City slicker is still in my purchase list.

The easy stand is at its best angle to use it on plane / table.
