Gaming What do you want from the Switch?

[Chary]

If you aren't already sold on the Nintendo Switch, then what kind of features or games will Nintendo have to release in order to entice you to purchase a system come this March?

 

[Autz]

Gamecube VC.

If you aren't already sold on the Nintendo Switch

Nah, they've already got me xD

 

[Chary]

Gamecube VC.

Oh yeah, portable GameCube would be killer.

Anyways...

Better hardware, not a trash battery, proper storage space, third party controllers to add a proper d-pad, third party devs that stick around for more than a year, proper touchscreen (not resistive crap), etc etc.

Even if Nvidia is putting in a beefier X2, there's no way a Tegra SoC is going to compete with PS4/Xboner visuals, especially when they're putting out "4k" consoles soon. If the portable portion has to underclock itself just to conserve battery life (because we all know Nintendo doesn't know how to properly put high-capacity batteries into their products) than games "on the go" are going to suck performance wise.

I also don't like the lack of d-pad on the controller, even if it is just replaced with "buttons" it's not the same ergonomic feel, so that sucks. Hopefully third parties will come along and make a left side controller that just puts a d-pad back.

I also hope this doesn't flop hard like the Wii U did and have a bunch of huge, long game droughts that will kill the system because Nintendo hates third party developers.

And I also hope they're going to use a proper capacitive touchscreen, not trashy resisitive like they've been using for years so we could at least get proper touch-screen controls on games that may use them.

EDIT: and I really, really hope Nintendo doesn't fuck up storage space with this like they did the Wii U. There's no way in hell modern AAA titles are going to fit on a stupidly tiny 32GB internal storage. 500GB+ or bust, Nintendo.

Backwards compatability. Easy to repair parts, great games, and innovation. I reached a point gaming where I need a lot of variety to keep me interested in a game.

 

[yuyuyup]

if it's not stereoscopic, I hope it fails

 

[Veho]

A decent battery life.

day 1 exploit lololol

Nah, but a HDD situation that isn't terrible and actually works. Those third party DLC sizes can be insanity. I'd love to play my elder scrolls online on the go (using my celllphone as a wifi hotspot).

 

[xtheman]

A good amount of memory included. 32 GB can barely hold 2 good games not to mention updates. I want to see at least 500 GB for normal model and 1TB for deluxe.

 

[Kioku]

To be able to buy separate docksat an affordable price to easily move between TVs in my home.

 

[Ozito]

Metroid, Castlevania or F-zero close to launch!

 

[VinsCool]

Backward compatibility. That would be the ultimate all in one Nintendo console!

 

[Supster131]

I'm already sold, but if Nintendo Network stays free, and they have great 3rd party support, I'll be inclined to say the Switch could be my primary console.

Digital backwards compatibility would also be nice.

 

[Kikirini]

I'm pretty on the fence about it. I'm mostly hoping that it has decent specs and a good library.
If this is replacing the 3ds, am I going to have to buy a second Switch for my husband?? Ugggh.

 

[VinsCool]

Any words regarding the specs of the console?

 

[Mazamin]

I want system stability!

 

[Chary]

Any words regarding the specs of the console?

Only that it's powered by a custom version of the Tegra chip.

 

[Tom Bombadildo]

Any words regarding the specs of the console?

The most we know is that it's going to use a Tegra SoC, most likely a custom X2. So GPU/CPU wise, not exactly good news compared to the other consoles.

Nothing on RAM or storage space, though. There was a "leak" of specs by some hacker I guess, but it's just a rumor. http://pastebin.com/UD1Vx9rf I just hope it's not accurate >.>
