Hardware Nintendo Switch Technical Specifications Discussion

Why the fuck would it have a touch screen if it was mainly designed to be played on the TV, without the tablet?

Or you know.. touch controls for tablet mode if someone didn't want to take the joycon with them.

Rumoured pricings! $230 basic, $260 with a game and £300 for a game and a pro controller.

I don't know. That sounds way too cheap to me. My Wii U Basic with no games was $305.

it needs to be cheap for it to sell. Also these are £ not dollars $. £260 is about $300 and £230 is about $270-280.

I wonder what price is it in Canada, cause xbox one are only 50 bucks more expansive here.

probably the same? I doubt it will be more than america. quick research shows it might be around 25% more.

The Canadian Dollar is worth significantly less than the USD, though, so it will probably be more expensive

as in just 25%

Actually the price is over 30% higher. 1/0.75 = 133.3% = 1 + 33.3%
Well, not the end of the world. Also maybe import duty is lower in Canada.

Probably the refresh, but not now. Also volta will come in 2018. That would allow Switch to over power ps4 pro in mobile mode hopefully. At the same time a new steam boy with zen+ will come.

Update: I'm a little late but Wii u production IS ending in japan. IDK about other regions.

Well this gen is a failure. In this case is switch a underpowered console or a overpowered tablet?

Say how happy will you be to have maxed out graphic settings, 1080p First Party?

 

[TheDarkGreninja]

hell yes. Anything below 1080p is not worth my money, just another wii u.

I think it will be another GameCube. With the GameCube Nintendo had a platform archetecture that they could evolve for three generations while still maintaining full backwards compatibility. The Switch may be the same thing. I can see Nintendo eventually launching a Wii U Mini to satisfy those with large Wii and Wii U libraries (and I don't think they will futz with the OS enough to block Homebrew and Nintendo my), and eventually the Switch could get GameCube games.
