Joy-con base is the middle section that you can snap the Joy-con L and Joy-con R controller pieces onto. If they named the "dock" unit I must have missed it, but I'm not dumb enough to say they would sell the NS without the dock. =)

But you're effectively supporting my point.
It can't complete with the other 2. So why channel the WiiU with this thing instead of the DS?
Also, Christ, they've even gone with NGage cases? That's not a good omen.

I want one.
Right now.
I haven't owned (or really cared to own) a Nintendo console since the GameCube.
If the third party titles aren't terrible ports, then this will probably become my third party machine (due to the portability).

Didn't she fall for the NX controller? Need a few more sources lol
I'd be cool with this being the box art for Switch games, but it kinda looks photoshopped.It looks like one of the retail display cases leaked from a GameStop.

if real then why the black fade?- ugly. also the Nintendo Network icon seems jammed in... does that even need to be so prominent anymore?

Extra power like a soc inside not(how would you make the interconnection?).If something it could have a fan that allow overclocking the tablet's soc.

False. It exploded to record numbers in late 2005, which resulted in massive shortages until the Lite released a few months later and was able to maintain the 100+K/week supply.orioto said:
I haven't seen it pictured, but I think the last time Nintendo released a home or portable system without SD or microSD support was DS Lite?Mihos said:
Then you buy a Pro, another Pro, or more Joy Cons (and a connector if you want). You don't need a whole other system.

I wonder if something like Overwatch could work. Or is that too demanding of the Switch hardware?
It would be a no brainer on Blizzard's part.

While I was in the camp of those wanting a bit more oomph, I was never going to be a hard sell for the Switch. Zelda justifies a system purchase for me. Also, I really hope this system has a decent online infrastructure this time around.

I was just thinking yesterday that this would be a perfect platform for hearthstone. Would be a huge coup for Nintendo. They may not get full 3rd party support but it looks like the switch is going to be more well supported than the 3DS or wii U probably combined.

I don't know.
It's crazy how Nintendo gave up the only field where they were still somehow strong and double dipping on that WiiU concept, which make me think that Nintendo and Iwata never tried to do something new but were still following the WiiU philosophy with the Switch.
Right now it's a WiiU which you are able to leave the room now.

haha thank you.
why do people waste there time, and today of all days...
It's a joke with them posting a similar-looking image as the Mario one. Don't read too much into a joke tweet.

SSDs are getting cheaper, but not that cheap. It'll be internal flash storage, just like the Wii and Wii U, expandable with SD cards.
Keep in mind that the system will be too underpowered to handle the level of assets that have balooned current-gen games to 50GB+ sizes. And of course cartridges have much better read times than blu-ray discs, so installing physical games to internal storage won't be necessary.

Looks fake. I seriously doubt Gamestop was sitting on any advertising assets for Switch and I don't see any reason to courier content to the stores right now with no real announcements. If Gamestop stores had Switch assets in we would have had a leak before the trailer.
Edit: N'gaged.
Yeah this is the kind of thing they need
Those joycon controllers don't look entirely comfortable. The analogue stick and face buttons seem so close together.
Also I'm concerned that the plethora of control and set up options is going to be as confusing to consumers as it will be handy for those of us who readily comprehend such things. The Gamepad/pro controller/Wii remote arrangement left the mainstream scratching their heads. This time you've got a tablet with buttons, a tablet screen with detached buttons, the buttons can be held in each hand or one horizontally in two hands per person, then there's the pro controller too.
I'm not complaining, it's very versatile. But if people thought the Gamepad was too much to understand I'm worried simple folk won't know what to do with this.
On the plus side, two joycons (really the best name, Nintendo?) attached to the tablet means multiplayer out of the box, right? No splashing out for extra controllers, at least not out of necessity. It would be kind of Ninty to chuck a pro controller in every box too so it isn't viewed as some confusing alternative but a viable option.

Wow switch confirmed
Bring it onSaw the trailer earlier today and just wanted to get my thoughts in. I can't believe almost every single rumor was right about how this thing looks. It's crazy. Am I excited? Yes. This seems like the natural evolution of the Wii U and keeps off tv play in a huge way. Not to mention all the (hopefully) 3rd party support this will keep getting. Totally excited!

If it's real, that is pretty neat and got me, for some reasons, more hyped for BotW.

Asymmetrical stick position! Autofail!
Honestly, it's exactly like the rumours. Skeptical that it's going to be a gamechanger since Shield bombed. It's also funny that you're switching from 60 fps to what looks like 20 fps on portable, or at least that what it looked like in the trailer.
Well let's see what it actually performs outside of a commercial.

At least if it fails, we dont have to listen to insufferably narrow claims that the wii u name was too close to wii and thats why it failed
Yeah I agree
This is all on Nintendo and how well they can execute
Kinda excited
Exactly.
In my mind the thought process is that they wanted to go for a very powerful mobile SOC, and the easiest way to get around the worry of bad battery life is simply down clock it while portable.
It's the best way to manage the hybrid performance.It was a fine line to tread between performance and battery life. So what better way than have two performance modes. As opposed to using a very weak SOC focused on battery life, or a very powerful one that reduces battery life.
Developing some sort of dual SOC system sounds expensive, complex, over complicated and with no real benefits.
