better than zelda!

Wow. That's a game they are proudly advertising?!?!? An equivalent to a free app store game. Man there were plenty of embarrassing moments during that conference, and that was one of the big ones.

Ask about any mobile games port like super mario run.
Ask them about a camera or something.
Ask them more about the mobile app thingy for the smartphone connection and features.
Oh and for the love of god, ask them if their WEB BROWSER is gonna be good, with video support in flash maybe. (Probably not)

Ask if it will have 5GHZ AC connection, or support mobile data from some phone plan service or whatever nonsense.

These are very important questions i honestly wanna know. THE BROWSER BEING MOST PRIORITY.

I don't really see what's so important with having a mobile plan when you can just hotspot thru your phone. Playing online doesn't really take that much and all the heavy downloads, like big games, you're gonna have to do at a wifi connection either way.

Please ask how storage will work when you can only add a 128gb sd. Will you be able to switch sd cards in and out like how will that work.

 

[Noctosphere]

tell us if it looks exploitable

The Website said it can support micro sdxc cards and internal memory is 32gb already

[proflayton123]

Ayy UK premiere :3!

 

[Chris313]

We're in!

So you guys get to use the switch hands on. Like you can look at every feature and play a game or you can only play a demo game?

 

[ItsKipz]

Is there a demo of spla2n there?

 

[Chris313]

Is there a demo of spla2n there?

Yes I was just watching ign livestream they are playing right now

 

[Keith_Loving]

I might buy it just for the micro SD slot ^.^ I've been wanting one of those!

I watched the live stream video last night, now I must ask.

Are those two (2) USB ports on the side of the Nintendo Switch stand/cradle for the display.

Will the Switch be compatible with the Wii U remotes? These joy-cons are basically a Wii remote with IR light sensors at the top and gyroscopes built in. Glad to see motion gaming lives on!

 

[cyb0rg]

Are all of the triggers digital?
Does the motion control rely on sensors located on the Switch at all?
Is there any compatibility for previous controllers?

Yes, triggers are digital. No range in them.
No sensor bar or sensors on Switch unit or dock.
They haven't said and won't comment, will ask someone else.

 

[cyb0rg]

Yes, triggers are digital. No range in them.

So it looks like the Gamecube rumors were false.

No sensor bar or sensors on Switch unit or dock.

Great. There were rumors the Switch would have IR sensors on it for the motion controls, and I don't have a good spot to place it in near my TV.

They haven't said and won't comment, will ask someone else.

Looking more and more unlikely with this other way of doing motion controls, especially if there is no place to plug in a sensor bar.

Thank you!
