It's time to choose your side! Will the Switch Dock be "secret sauce" and boost the power of the console with it's own GPU or CPU hardware? Or is it just a glorified charging cradle with hdmi output?

I'm going with the latter simply from this footage alone.

Notice how the tablet is removed during gameplay, with absolutely no pause, you can't just detatch a cpu/gpu that is doing calculations like that, I.E in the footage shown the Dock is doing no processing.

Now I'm not saying the dock won't do ANYTHING. While in the dock the Tablet's hardware could be overclocked, and the dock may have fancy upscaling hardware in it, but I do not believe the dock itself has a cpu/gpu in it that will be used for calculations and rendering in gameplay.

So which side are you on?


As is tradition, losing side gets a crow avatar for... a month?
