Portability is certainly a huge factor to consider for mult-plats, but price is as well. There is only so much of a premium I am willing to pay for portability. $50 for Bomberman and $40 for Tetris, no thanks.
Why?

I haven't seen anything about them that indicates they are significantly different or improved over previous releases. Maybe, will need to see more.Why?

There are few games I am willing to pay Launch prices for anyway. BotW/MK8DE/Splatoon 2 are it in the near future for me. I support developers by keeping the used game market from cratering.
That's bad news for you.at least unbricking will be easier when people buy the gateswitch clones with the emmc being detachable
I guess there is time for a board revisionThat's bad news for you.
Yeah that seems an interesting choice on their part...at least unbricking will be easier when people buy the gateswitch clones with the emmc being detachable
yeah but as with the 3ds if you have a raw dump even though it's encrypted, unless they have some form of anti downgrade feature (which is possible, we will have to wait and see) restoring a old backup from the same system would be possible.Yeah that seems an interesting choice on their part...
*EDIT:* After thinking on it a bit, if the whole thing is encrypted with something burned in at the factory and the writes use something like APPL's Address Randomization scheme, they would not care. Every single one of them would be unique.

although I'm wondering if there may be another chip somewhere for the firmware to be housed similar to the wii u, and the emmc is only going to be used for user content.....this would make more sense for them socketing the emmc chip so they can change sku's easily by simply switching the size of the emmc on board, which if that's the case with any luck there isn't any restrictions on it and it can be swapped out or allow third party boards with larger chips etc
i will with zeldaI effing hope no one's using the Joycons for 20 hours straight
I still expect someone to make a custom cable with the adapter essentially in the cable, playing the tv while holding the switch in your hands.
Reasons being the damn joycon dock that comes with the system don't charge the joycons. Gotta plug them into the system. Joycons die, gotta recharge them and can't play.
20. Hour. Battery. Life.

If you look at the back there's one that's kinda like that.yeah but as with the 3ds if you have a raw dump even though it's encrypted, unless they have some form of anti downgrade feature (which is possible, we will have to wait and see) restoring a old backup from the same system would be possible.

I think the point is many of us plan to dock the joyless cons to the Switch at the end of the day/playtime so every morning they will be fully charged. For those that don't want to do that the charging grip is handy to have.No one, but thats not what is being said.
If you play a game for 3hrs a day for a week then your be at 21hours at the end of the week.
IF you only play it in TV mode with the joycons either in the grip or free handed. Your lose your charge and the joycons will die mid game.
This is the reason i brought a charging grip. I plan to use the switch mostly in tv mode, and the joycons wont charge in handheld mode unless its charging.
Yea i under stand this but the cable would only be there until the joycons are charge.I think the point is many of us plan to dock the joyless cons to the Switch at the end of the day/playtime so every morning they will be fully charged. For those that don't want to do that the charging grip is handy to have.
But you still have to plug a cable into the Charging Grip to charge the Joyless Cons. So if having to deal with another floppy cable is easier for you than sliding them into the Switch, have a it. Play your way.
I would actually really like this. One of the things I like about the presentation.i'm looking forward to "ultra-lazy" mode, with a joycon in each hand, and my hands just plopped down on the couch. I can play with minimal effort!
Lol please, Ive been doing that since the Wii days!i'm looking forward to "ultra-lazy" mode, with a joycon in each hand, and my hands just plopped down on the couch. I can play with minimal effort!
Well there's the power, that can allow the Switch to run at a higher CPU frequency, allowing for better graphics than in portable mode? Just a thought.I at least expected some hardware that helped the switch on 1080p on the big screen ;/
