But you shouldn't be getting arrested for breaking a NDA...but you know China!
Not going to jail, but major lawsuit that can make you broken. Also I might be a bit overstating. In this case staying down for a little while can also be considered a similar thing. Another thing is that getting jailed for a week is not that serious in China as compared to in the states.

Not only did the Gamecube have the power of the PS2, it surpassed the PS2. At a lower price-point.
Yeah certain games did look really good, Gamecube just didn't have strong enough third-party support. I really liked Eternal Darkness, but it was pretty blocky. Graphics/aesthetic-wise what really stood out was Okami, Windwaker, SSBM, and Shadow of the Colossus in no particular order, and I feel like PS2 was definitely punching above its weight class by delivering a larger quality library of third-party games that also looked good. Credit to GC for having the better-looking RE4.

Not in this lifetime. It's too early for something that was only debuted a year and a half ago
I wouldn't call it a lifetime away, but certainly a few generations for it to become cheap enough for consumer tech.

Twilight Princess, I thought, looked really good, as did the Rogue Squadron games. And we can't forget Metroid Prime, either.

Sadly the gameplay doesn't seems to max out on 1080p, though the video quality is low anyway.
Seems to be enough space to use the usb even when using the kickstand.
Clearly you cannot plug a cable in there while using the kickstand since the port is on the bottom. The cables came out of the left side of the dock while facing the back.
Does anyone think they could use a bigger screen?

Sorry, mistakenly took that spot above the port, as the actually port. If you could have at least push usb into the system, you could have at least bent the cord.

Considering other factors, I honestly think it is fine.

I would be surprised ,after showing it again next to the system, if the Joy-Con Grip doesn't come with it.

It would be really neat to have a bent usb-c designed for the switch. Just hope the system don't eat that much power.

Let's suppose the Foxconn leak is still partially correct: 921MHz suggest bigger gpu, which I would expect 512+ core or it would be slower than tegra x1, which the switch is clearly faster. And this would mean 0.92 TF on mobile. That coupled with newer technology means it's comparable to Xbox one, and somewhere better with the overclock on dock, though not that drastic.

921mhz clock speed puts it close to the gtx 970 and it has a much better architecture, wouldnt be too worried about gpu power.

there was a rumour about the port being on a hinge so you can charge it while on a kickstand, hopefully its a locking hinge and not some flimsy one.
