Output doesn't mean it's actually natively at 4k. Alot of the current xbox games don't even run at 1080p
maybe the base model if there is one, will be $250 US…
Switch cannot be overly powerful as mobile ARM CPU designs have not really moved forwards in 2 years. It'll be the Nvidia Shield 2 in a different case. Nintendo have also struggled to resource up to existing hardware platforms and don't have the internal staff to utilise large increases in computing power that require large increases in art. You might get good or bad surprises from PowerPC designs, but not in licensed ARM architectures that others are already using. Keep in mind it's passively cooled and run on batteries. When has that ever been able to compete with 500 watts and fan cooling.
Switch is using Nvidia's SoC. I've been hearing what it might actually be using, but nintendo rumours are more unreliable I've heard. Tegra X1 sounded reasonable. Parker not so much, because it doesn't look like it's going to be a mobile SoC (as is at least). That thing looks like a power guzzler and it shows even in its big.LITTLE combination (it uses A57 as little cores).
No idea where you got this info but all things I've seen released point to:
The tablet screen outputting 720 and then up scaling to 1080 when docked.
The price probably being around US$300 which would make it more in the $400-450 range here in Aus.
We'll know much more come Jan 12th. Regardless of price I'm a sucker for Nintendo gear and I'll be getting it (I was sold on Zelda alone).
you can take it anywhere and it very good i say
I heard Nintendo Switch is going to fail just like WiiU because it's way below the spec of the other two and it's too little, too late again. Nobody is going to buy it for the multiplatform titles, once the 3rd party devs leave again you're back in the same boat as WiiU is. Dead in the water.
i'm open to the possibility of getting a few titles, especially if they have some sort of nintendo benefit: e.g Shovel Knight amiibo
Sorry, my post is just a tonic to the OP's giddiness.
I'm actually looking forward to MH on it… that's about it… unless Capcom finally decides to release it on PS4 or PC.
or you know, you could just purchase the first-party titles haha

For me there's only one I can stand and that's LoZ. Even with that series I much prefer the gameplay of Ocarina and Majora over the other styles. Oh and a special shout out to Star Fox (not this new SF shiz though)
Yes fair enough. Super excited about the new LoZ as it looks like it will redefine what we think of it!
Yes Star Fox! First game I owned on N64, good times!Nintendo is doing its best to purposely upset fans of first party (and 'second party' titles). Fire Emblem releases one game as 3 different games, Animal Crossing has a dumb designer piece of crap, Metroid Prime turns into a gun-ball game, and Star Fox MOTION CONTROL WHYYYYY!!!
I've got high hopes for F-Zero Table Tennis though.
I've been online for all the Nintendo (checks wikipedia) since the n64 came out, and every time it is an argument that the Nintendo device is underpowered compared to the rivals.
More often than not, the innovation form Nintendo has made a successful platform.
It is likely the Switch will be cool too.
Different devices favour different gaming styles. If you religiously play online first person shooters, then Nintendo isn't the leading console. If you have a bunch of kids playing in-room multiplayer games, Nintendo is great. As examples, that is.Luckily, with Xbox one as low as $230 (HN + Amex) recently, it isn't too much of a stretch to have both if you spend a bunch of time gaming.
Wii U sold a small fraction of Nintendo's internal projections and targets. The original 3DS took off slowly due to the DSi/DSi XL semi launch. Pokemon GO was successful, Mario Run will do well on non-Nintendo platforms. These are precarious times for Nintendo's hardware division. I think the Switch looks more like a niche gamer market device than mainstream success. Nintendo will find it hard to produce AAA content if it sells only 1/10 the software volume of it's heyday. To me, even the 3DS XL is too big so the switch will be non portable. I will get one as a gamer, but soccer moms and nagging kids dictate the family oriented game industry, not enthusiasts.
For perspective, Mario Kart 8 has sold 8 million copies worldwide, Mario Kart Wii, a much worse game sold 37 million.
I'm 37 and I've owned every Nintendo console since my dad bought me a NES. I no longer like them but I buy them for my kid's and for myself to play the MonHun games.
Now you dismiss claims against the systems power as irrelevant but let's be brutally honest here, Ninty haven't had a truly successful home console since the 64. The GCN was an all around failure (though I loved it) the Wii was a success in sales of the system but was full of shovelware and ended up with a pisspoor attachment rate. The WiiU should have been a lesson to Nintendo in how not to market a console. Unfortunately (in my opinion) Nintendo have just improved upon the WiiU formula but they have ignored the problem with 3rd party devs. They aren't going to back this thing unless it has a big install base as the average gamer who buys a Switch isn't going to play the third party game on the weakest system they own. Also with the aggressive pricing of PS4 slim and Xbone S the casuals are likely to pick one of those over another strange Nintendo due to pricing and the fact their friends/ their kid's friends already are playing on these consoles.

This.
It's starting to annoy me how they're just sitting back and not even putting up a proper fight with Sony and Microsoft.
Back when it was N64 vs Playstation, that was serious competition. Now Nintendo is more of an after-thought when it comes to console gaming. I saw the switch promotional trailer on youtube when it came out, and honestly I was underwhelmed.
To be fair they haven't had much success since the N64 outside of handheld devices. Gamecube and WiiU were flops. The Wii was a monster seller as a console, but barely any games were bought compared to the number of consoles out there. Basically people bought a couple of games and stuck mostly to Wii Sports.
Switch will be interesting as it's leveraging the handheld success into a full console in a way. Hopefully the battery on the handheld will last more than an hour.
"the price it gonna be around $250 and it gonna be way better because its free to play" ?
Do you have any idea what you're on about LOL
Just stop posting.the price it gonna be around $250
Completely delusional. Maaaybe $250 USD, but expect it to start at $400 AUD. Also, all other rumours point to a 720 screen and 1080 output when plugged in.
Heh, WiiU is still $400+. Exactly the same price as on release, 4 years ago. That is utterly crazy.
If you wanted proof that Nintendo are struggling massively to generate content, reports today are that several ported Gamecube games are part of the launch strategy for Switch. I like Mario Sunshine, a lot, but it's bad news for anyone thinking Switch is revolutionary or ground breaking. Switch will have the same low software support as previous generations. I wish they'd just buy Yooka Laylee or something as an exclusive.
Nintendo would be formidable if they still had Rareware (responsible for classics such as Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Donkey Kong series on the SNES etc). Letting Rare go to Microsoft was the worst mistake they made.
And then MS pretty much dismantled them and left them in ruins.
Like everything thats good.
I've also heard a lot of the launch titles are just going to be ports of the major Wii U titles (MK8, Smash Bros, etc)
I've wondered about Mario Kart 9 on Switch and whether it has to be compatible with an update of 8 on Wii U. It would be very aggressive for Nintendo to shut down MK8 online servers, it would be silly to run them in parallel, but allowing cross play means 8 would need every feature and track of 9. Slight fragmentation problem there.
I hope so, because my online score is something like 14K but I doubt it will because of the exclusive maps and modes that will be added.
Yeah, it looks like it's going to be just like the 3DS when it was released. The only software Nintendo were releasing for the 3DS for the first couple years were emulated Gameboy games.
At least if they were remastering the GC games it'd be something, but they're just 480p emulated on Switch so it's pointless.
The only thing Nintendo is going to have over its 'competitors' is portability and Nintendo games.
Anyone tells you it has graphical superiority is clearly smoking the wacky tobacky.
If Nintendo don't push unique games for it, and push HARD, then their long-standing fanbase won't want to prop them up anymore. Everyone knows parents just get their kids an iPad these days, and not a Nintendo product, that's why the ad for the Nintendo Switch is entirely absent of children.
I am surprised that anyone could imagine Nintendo Switch could be a power house. It's a handheld console. 720P is much less pixels to worry about than 1080p or even 900p and that I think would be why it might be able to compete against current generation consoles. Even then I think it'd have problems with heat and even then I think it's going to lose.
I will probably look into NS, probably would get one because of Zelda (my gf is a huge fan of Zelda). I don't know, Nintendo to me seems like the only hardware developer who's trying to make something that's not a gaming PC with exclusives. Of course, that doesn't mean they are right, I am scratching my head a bit with NS and WiiU.
its school holidays i see
Xbox One S can output 4K. How is 1080p better than that?
