Well there goes trying to get cheaper docks.
Its probably means its coded and Nintendo will have a license for it.
So if you wanna play it on a different tv your need another dock and the cellphones hdmi adapter will not work.

At lest the Switch is pretty small and moving it around a house or to a friends is pretty easy and simple.

Now i wanna know what voltage is the damn switch i truly believe it will be 15v meaning no cellphone charger will work.

SCREW THIS! I was kinda hoping for dual screen play via a cable from the Switch to the TV. UGH! Nintendo!
That's asking a bit much from this console. My PC with a 980ti can barely handle that at my preferred performance level.

If it can be done Mayflash will do it.

One thing is for certain, I will not be spending $90 on a dock. Just means I have to sell more Wii U discs and 3DS carts to buy a 2nd Switch.
That price does include an hdmi cable and charger tho lol.


But yea i dont plan to buy another dock.The switch will be in my room where everything else is.
If I ever take it to the front room its a small dock and easy to unplug and move.
I would like another charger for it tho, but dont wanna pay the $30 just to have an extra if i take it somewhere mobile.

One of my smarter investments was a pack of 1 foot extension cords to plug into power strips so moving devices around is much easier. Similar to this one.

My PC with a GT730 handles dual screen perfectly and surely the Switch cant be that less powerful. Actually it's dual screen with the second screen having dual (left and right) feeds for VR gaming. BTW that second screen is 720p. All in all, a total of 3 parallel videos from my PC. I'm sure the switch can handle one 1080p and one 720p feed at the same time. If Wii U can handle 1080+480, what is Switch's problem?

I got a power cube. It works out great
https://www.walmart.com/ip/PowerCube-4-Outlets-2-USB-5-ft-4400-USEUPC/38505687

Use it for my 3d printer and extra stuff makes repluggin stuff easy.

But ah as said i wont be moving it around. Kinda like any other home system you dont get mad at MS or sony for not including another power brick

Yeah! I actually liked my Wii U
The wii u suck. The marketing for the dual screens wasnt good. The Game Devs never used the 2 screens correctly.
The only time dual screen comes into play and works is on the DS.
Alot of games simply have easier controls or map and info screen.
Others have the main touch game on the bottom and the top just for movie/graphic

I don't understand the surprise, it was already announced, and, well, if you have to, just move it with the dock? It's not like the thing is heavy or something... It's like complaining that your console isn't sold with two sets of cables, so you would have to unplug them if you want to play on another screen...

    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
