There's no difference between docked and undocked framerate. All the hardware is in the unit itself, the dock isn't used for anything but charging. Expect the same 30 FPS that all consoles are so fond of.

Maybe, maybe not. My gut is telling me the system will underclock itself while off of the dock, both to prolong the battery life and to reduce the amount of time the fan has to run.

I really doubt it, not much difference in power use between 100% utilization and 75% for Pascal. Active cooling won't even be necessary half the time. Framerate looked completely smooth and consistent in Fallon's piece on Switch.

Oh hey a game I can relate to.

This looks like a great title and I likely will be picking this up when it comes out.

Me too. I still cannot get over with forgiving my parents and the entire society.

Shenanigans. Indie and "Switch Exclusive" are mutually incompatible, probably. I am thinking the creator got a payment for exclusivity, making it not indie.

Indies on consoles make sense later in the lifecycle of a console, when the audience is bigger. Never at the very beginning.

They are not incompatible. Unless Nintendo buys them out and directs them as to how to make games, they're still an indie studio. Getting paid for exclusivity doesn't change that unless there are a lot more stipulations on that money.

Indies are good to have during all parts of a console's lifecycle. My Steam library contains more great indie games than great AAA games. Getting ports like Owlboy and Nuclear Throne for Switch early on would be amazing.

I hope the usb-c hdmi is more stable than slimport i'm forever loosing sync with that on my nexus 7 2013 + samsung hdtv snowy screen.
It even outputs 720 30fps with Pillarboxing unless you override it to 288dpi from 320.

I read that part and I felt the exact same! This is a huge must.

"features Yann, a young boy diagnosed with Asperger's and his French bulldog" WTF!!!, never mind!

I will say this, if the graphics are for real then the Switch is looking very promising! they are quite intense.

"Switch will run 1080p60fps"
"Switch is more powerful than PS4Pro"
"The Switch will save Nintendo"
The Switch will be the Sony killer"
I think you see my point here

1. Probably true when docked
2. No, of course not, probably on par with a standard PS4, which is fine
3. Is Nintendo really in any danger? People seem to forget that they currently have the system of this generation that has sold the most units by a wide margin at that
4. Obviously neither Sony nor Microsoft is going anywhere.

Some of the stuff they say is dumb as shit, but some has its merits.

Although I heard Microsoft isn't going to be releasing any more consoles. Could be rumor. Can't remember who reported on it though.
On another note graphics aren't everything. Just look at Minecraft. Graphics are horrible but it's a very fun addictive game with no story. Give me a turn based RPG with an amazing story and I'm happy. Even if it looks like original FF graphics.(But the story has to be great)

I just want some non cell shaded games without excessive bloom, cell shading was a nice niche back
with jet set radio and Auto Modellista but now it's played out, majora's mask and ocarina of time 3ds look miles better
than breath of the wild, it's completely runined games like the last guardian too the shadow textures look like they came from the ps1 era.

they release scorpio next year i think. but probably switching to refreshes every couple of years, with new games being playable on the last two or three versions. think cell-phone cycles, only consoles. that may have been what they meant.

mmm such a nice teaser running on a PC to build hype

Me too. I'm always interested in stuff which represents one of my qualities as a person with Asperger.
Hopefully it won't stay exclusive, since I can't afford for myself a Nintendo Switch for a while :/

You haven't even seen any gameplay lol.

Welcome to the new world of gaming. Where
gamers are ready to give up 59.99 for an unfinished product and judging it by pre rendered bullshot or CG footage not even in the game. Pay 39.99 and buy the season pass (or buy the 80.00 "definitely better" edition) which you have no idea if the DLC is shit or not!

LOL. Are we still in 2001 with that mentality? I remember hating on Wind Waker's graphics with no good reason other than the fact that it was cell shaded. Fortunately I eventually grew up and learned to respect and appreciate art in its many forms over the years. Having said that, I'll take the visuals of Wind Waker or Skyward Sword over that of Twilight Princess anyday. I love Twilight Princess mind you, but so much more could be expressed with the art styles of Wind Waker and Skyward Sword, and the same looks absolutely true of Breath of the Wild as well.
