Nintendo Switch

RE: Nintendo Switch
See I just see them as good for different things. My Wii and WiiU are for when friends come over and we play BeerKart and the PS4 is for movies and solo gaming. Xbox gets dusted off when I'm in the mood to play Fable.

RE: Nintendo Switch
Well... to me, this Switch thing looks like a Wii-U with detachable controls... oh and it seems all processing is on that tablet thingy, so I wouldn't expect last-gen graphics...

Which means that this ends up being more of an evolution of the Wii-U towards the Gameboy, rather than towards a serious gaming machine.
Which isn't bad business... nowadays, the gaming market is shifting to mobile. People want to play their games everywhere, not just when they're home and taking over the family TV Tongue

On the other hand, how many batteries will this thing require?! I count 3... 3 weak points.... or, as Samsung is learning, 3 potential bombs! Tongue

RE: Nintendo Switch
Batteries? It's rechargeable. It will only have one.

Processing power is my biggest concern. Although, if it can run the Skyrim remaster, it should be comparable at least to a PS4/Xbox One. Having that kind of power on the go is awfully tempting.

Did I not see those two side controller thingies being used without any wires?

I don't think it will be anywhere near as powerful as the Xbox or the PS4,  but we'll just have to wait and see.

Good point. Hopefully those are rechargeable, too. They're pretty damn small, so I'm not sure how you could cram some AA's in them.

If it's not, Nintendo will have dropped the ball, but they're usually pretty good at learning from their mistakes.

Quote: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.

The Nintendo Switch’s gaming experience is also supported by fully custom software, including a revamped physics engine, new libraries, advanced game tools and libraries. NVIDIA additionally created new gaming APIs to fully harness this performance. The newest API, NVN, was built specifically to bring lightweight, fast gaming to the masses.

Gameplay is further enhanced by hardware-accelerated video playback and custom software for audio effects and rendering.

We’ve optimized the full suite of hardware and software for gaming and mobile use cases. This includes custom operating system integration with the GPU to increase both performance and efficiency.
