So that's means 2.5 hours of Zelda

 

[Vandiger]

Local play is neat.

 

[Boss Doggie]

still iffy on the joycon controllers when separated

 

[SchrodingerC]

*SNAP*

 

[Riddler]

8 connected is Atari Lynx level of local multiplayer

 

[jediyoshi]

sideburns on fleek

 

[Technosteve]

this man looks like a vampire

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

This is probably my biggest problem with Nintendo, they basically treat gamers like idiots when showing off their consoles. We watched the video, we know how it fucking works, we don't need a fucking lecture.

2.5 to 6.5 hours? That's quite a range.

 

[Leatherface]

battery packs though amirite?!

 

[MartyStu]

2.5 - 6 Hours is expected for something pushing what this thing is pushing. Anyone thinking otherwise is delusional.

 

[Vanillalite]

What if you want local multiplayer on the TV?

 

[Speely]

Sexy UI

 

[AcademicSaucer]

koizumi hype

 

[Jigorath]

Yeah that battery life is gonna suck.

 

[finalflame]

That battery life...I see, I see. :/

It's a full home console in a handheld form factor, this isn't a Vita our a 3DS.

 

[Wishmaster92]

So far it's a bad start

 

[Shig]

Called the price. Nintendo wasn't willing to cut four-year-old Wii U systems under $299, grossly optimistic to think they'd shave $50 off the launch price of a new system with a similar screen component.

"Unimpressed." - Brandon Jones 2017

 

[IamDodongo]

It's more expensive than a much more powerful console(PS4 Slim is $249)

How am I going to play PS4 on the subway?

 

[Newtype-001]

Gues waiting for launch impressions is for the best

 

[digitalrelic]

You guys are fucking crazy. 2-6 is about the best case scenario we could ever expect from a device like this.

 

[The Lamp]

2.5 hours of battery life??? that's worse than the rumors....wow this is off to an awful start.

dramatic people....2.5 hours is probably highest brightness + wifi + other max conditions...on average it's probably 3-4 hours. Which is somewhat decent.

 

[Cuburt]

2.5-6 hours plus the ability to charge with USB-C while playing is pretty good.

Fears alleviated.

 

[idwl]

I'm loving the finger snap switch

 

[Kickz]

Nothing really new so far dang it....

 

[Suburban Thug]

$300 and paid online is too much. No buy at launch although i'll get eventually. Will most likely be another Wii U situation for the company unless they've got some killer apps. Literally only Nintendo die hards are trying to spin this as positive so far. The thing is underpowered and too expensive.

 

[Icyflamez96]

This battle mode could raise Mario Kart 8 from trash tier to god tier.

 

[Malus]

This presentation would be 10x more enjoyable if it were recorded lol. It's so stiff and I hate the translators.

 

[eyeball_kid]

2.5 hours, nah son. Like I always assumed, this thing is only semi-portable, basically used for room shifting.

 

[Prompto]

Well at least there being upfront with the bad news :/

 

[tayls129]

It is if you get more powerful consoles for less.

The Wii U hasn't dropped in price lower than $300. What's the difference?

 

[ElFly]

paid online, jesus

xbox live ruined online on consoles

 

[N00b Saibot]

$249.99 would've been awesome

 

[quesalupa]

That was smooth af.

 

[vinnygambini]

Love the pacing - to the point

 

[Schnozberry]

HAHAHAHAHAHA 2.5 HOURS holy shit

Pretty standard for high end mobile devices at full tilt. I'm sure it will depend a lot of the games.

 

[serenewarfare]

I think some of you had a bit too high of expectations, but then again this is GAF.

 

[DataGhost]

Damn, looks like I will have to wait a bit for the better battery versions if those ever do come out

 

[JrBaconCheeseburger]

UI looks Clean

 

[Eaten By A Grue]

Holy shit that is a tiny controller, I thought it would be huge.

 

[RoKKeR]

Hey have you guys heard about the new Joycon(TM) controllers???

 

[Babymario26]

8 SYSTEM MULTIPLAYER!?

J O Y C O N B O Y S

 

[Barryman]

8-way multiplayer is pretty dope

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

Hype has somewhat died

No way.

 

[DieGo2SHAE]

2.5 hours when it's new? After a year of use that'll be down to 30 minutes D:<

 

[Plinko]

2.5-6.5 is already better than Wii U, I guess.

 

[Milly Osworth]

I thought this thread would be fun, what was I thinking &#128580;

 

[Brinbe]

That's fucking tiny, jesus christ.

not everyone has small hands

 

[……forgetit]

This is insane tech and about as good as it could possibly be. What were people expecting?
