If bundled together with Mario+Zelda. I don't see a problem.

But yeah, i think battery is an issue....because there screen is huge...i am suprised....i thought it will be smaller than WiiU screen, but it seems even bigger now (7" i think) and have much better clarity.

3 months is a lot.

They have to ensure enough quantities made and distributed to all channels and also ensure the launch titles are ready. Ensure enough time for marketing and promotion. If they can, I am sure they already have done it.

Nintendo sure have better experience than you or me in this area.

If you look at the controller, I believe two person can use it for a two player games. It shows Mario kart can do split screen with two players on the portable.

Dun think so....it will only increase the cost.

And you can play WHAT on it??

Where got say no news until next year???

Don't really care. Already got a WiiU which can play Wii games as well.

It's all speculation now, we will need to wait for more info.

Maybe they don't want to reveal too much now...but i guess the least it might do is performance increased when docked. The switch could be running on power saving mode while in tablet mode to save battery, but once docked, the system can switch to AC and increase the core clock speed to provide 1080p rendering.

Of course, i would prefer if the dock is actually got some processor on it to boost performance instead......i think this was demoed by Nvidia previously using similar docked technology.

Still could be possible, Nintendo just said they haven't reveal everything yet.

Nice read here. Moe speculation of the unannounced Switch features.

i want Capcom to bring back Omnimusha and Devil May Cry series....

I don't even know what is Monster Hunter...another Pokemon wannabe?

Basic: UsD 250 to UsD 299

Bundled: UsD 350 to USd 399.

Come back March next year and tell me I am wrong.

Come back january 2017 and tell me i am wrong.

More leaks!!!

https://www.engadget.com/2016/10/27/nintend...titouch-screen/

Touch screen ada!!!

6.2" 720p screen!!!

(Isn't this the same as Wii U)? But it looks much bigger from the video....

So means no stylus...and not 100% compatibility with Wii U/ DS....

Lots of leaks from this site:

Most interesting is this statement:

Wah lau...sudah reveal.

I thought need to wait for Jan 12 or 13th !!!!

Wah lau...sudah reveal.

I was expecting the switch has more components...haha. Maybe they still have not shown everything yet....

But i think the dock is nothing much...just a dock, no extra processing power, other than maybe boost up power and overclocked when dock providing a bit more performance.

Latest rumours:

1) Touchscreen is almost confirmed thanks to published patents.

2) VR ready for future ( but i doubt the praticalibility without a hi-res screens and more processing power and not interested anyway).

3) System will runs at higher clock speed when docked.

4) It use a Tegra X1 Maxwell Soc albeit customized, not the Parker Soc.


I am interested in item (4). Means the switch will have about 512GFlop (32FP) compared to nearest competitor Xbox One (1.3 Teraflops).

Of course, with a customized version and overclocked when docked. We could be seeing maybe 20-30% boost.

Which realistically it will have maybe half the FLOPs processing of an Xbox One.

I think this is the most conservative scenario i feel safe to bet.

Anyway, it is still a number and actual performance might be more than half of an Xbox One.

Regardless for me, i am still buying it.....it will be likely 3 times the power of a Wii U.

Still the most powerful handheld console and most powerful hybrid console....haha.

Not really. Nintendo kinda beat MegaDrive with SNES (better in color, but a bit slower in speed), and N64 was considered the most powerful 3D system at the time vs the original PS and Saturn.

But they have given up the arm race ever since Wii i think.

I think we can forget about Switch being equal in performance to XBone (no need to mention PS4). A portable tablet vs full console. There won't be any magic to defy law of physics.

But as long as it can at least somewhat reproduce 80% of at least XBone, coupled with the fact of being a handheld console, it is poised to take over to become the 3DS successor as well, which is long due for replacement as well. So the console bit is like an added bonus to be push together.

The switch will become the only handheld console available on the market now that SONY has exited the handheld race.

What i am hoping for is...CHEAPER GAMES. 3DS games seems to be way cheaper than Wii U games. If this pricing strategy continues, this i believe will be the biggest push for the switch, coupled with "good enough graphics". And a solid 3rd party support which is much evident (compared to WiiU's launch).

Frankly i have watched several PS3/XBOX360/PS4/XBOne comparison videos....graphics really jump from PS3==>PS4 is not so huge (check those Tomb Raider compairson videos etc..always only 2 things improved...light source HDR and shinnier water reflection). I believe the Switch can produce better graphics than the Xbox360 (even the Wii U can, as proven by Bayonetta ). Thus, the Switch will be able to produce near XboxOne level graphics, minus some fidelity which you won't notice unless you compare and pause frame every video.
