Hardware Holes on the Switch?

[Bladexdsl]

if that's an exhaust port than i hope no one fires a torpedo into it

 

[Philip3ds]

Maybe its a vent used to suck in ghosts for Luigi's Mansion 3.

I mean for any console, my preorder is not on the Switch anyways (ofc). And I love my offensive gestures, words an dildos, so leave them where they are please.
PS: Release date still unknown, ugh. I miss those time when it was still supposed to release on December'16.

There will be no South Park for Switch, I was just kidding, it was just a horrible joke...

Lol this thread.

Well if you want the real specs its in the all we know thread.

Its for air there is also ports at the back and bottom. To vent heat there is not a fan in the switch or the dock it all works on venting and heat movement.

Im sure nyko will make a fan tho they always do.

That's the speaker.
Clearly a path for entities to possess and power your device.

they are the exaust of cooling of course, but weird, how you are supose to take this thing with you and there are such big holes, i know probably has a grill but i just imagine all the dust and sand it will gather

Laptops exist and don't spontaneously explode due to cooling vents

I wonder if there'll be any 3rd party tiiiiiny little fans for purchase to add a little active to the passive.

Moral of the day: The switch is a beast.

No it's not. Speakers are on front

I believe that is a possibility and even a replacement for the dock should it include ports. The hard part is taking advantage of the switch's own cooling. None of the games manage to cause the unit to use the vents.

Well, I know that I have quite a few holes. So, maybe you can have sexual intercourse with the switch. All joking aside, it's definitely for cooling.

 

[DarthDub]

You guys got it all wrong. It's actually a port to connect the N64DD!

Sorry for not specifying but I was talking about ipad air 2.

 

[Ridge]

Switch: COOOOOOME PLAAAY MYYY GAAAMEEE

 

[sarkwalvein]

Don't tell me it can play the N64 Fire Emblem!

Honestly if 3rd parties don't, I'll try to cobble together some sort of battery bank + fan attachment that plugs in the the USB port and stays on like a cover

 

[thorasgar]

I know. It's for the bugs to get inside!

Somewhere on this forum from a few years ago are some photos of a used Wii someone picked that was roach infested. They opened it up in the back of a pickup and there were hundreds of dead bugs. It is really gross.
