The most we know is that it's going to use a Tegra SoC, most likely a custom X2. So GPU/CPU wise, not exactly good news compared to the other consoles.

Nothing on RAM or storage space, though. There was a "leak" of specs by some hacker I guess, but it's just a rumor. http://pastebin.com/UD1Vx9rf I just hope it's not accurate >.>

it'll sure as hell be better in terms of specs than the Wii U, at least I assume.

I want Switch ports of every major Wii U game so that I can ditch the Wii U. Seriously the Wii U Gamepad and the sluggish UI are just aweful.
I also want and expect a Virtual Console (all games must be re-purchased full price of course) and finally downloadable GC games. The Shield Tablet with its X1 chip already proved that it is powerful enough to emulated GC games at a playable framerate.

i was going to say skyrim, but we already have that.
Good third party support
all the borderlands games (including 3 when it comes)
a real hdd for the docking.
Sd for the handheld

(3ds game support with both small screen and tv?)


You're really butthurt about the storage space...

Gamecube VC.

Do you even know how much power it takes to emulate a GCN?
I mean, afaik XBOX, PS2, even less GCN aren't emulate-able consoles on the go. Much less the wii and beyond. Guessing the Switch use a top notch tegra and nvidia chipsets, it wouldn't still be enough to emulate those, i think.
GCN in special was the most powerful of the 3 consoles of that generation...

If it's even possible 3DS VC would be a nice touch, but obviously without the 3D as the tablet lacks it.
Actual 3rd party support on par with its competitors ps4pro/xbox1.5 (can't remember the name of the new x1).
They'd have the advantage of portable gaming against the others, but they will still lack power... I see the switch more like what the WiiU should have been in the first place. a nice portable device with actual TV-out support and decent specs.

I want BotW to look more like the reveal trailer on the Switch. I have a sinking suspicion that they used Wii U footage on it, as the screens in the advertisement are simulated of course. If they really really want my money, they should have a BotW Limited Edition model. Aside from that it's everything I want from a non-PC gaming device. Though very unlikely, stereoscopic 3D would be awesome.

If they go for the Unoptimized-Software algorhythm (which they will go) then meh, is not going to be possible such emulation.

I'm talking about the technical capabilities of the chipsets they'll use.
That's why i used android as an example, i haven't seen a portable GC/Xbox/PS2 emulator done with those chips or similar...
