Yes! I remember your old thread very fondly! Great to see you taking on the Switch as well!

So... I'm illiterate when it comes to tech, so could someone maybe explain what all of this means? I've heard that the Switch will be similar to the XboxOne in power (when docked), but going by these specs that doesn't seem likely. But I know nothing of these sort of things, so who knows, right? What will the graphics be like? The draw distance? How will this effect AI and everything else?

Some have stated equal to xboxone or even more, but the rumors have never really purported that and the most accurate people, like Emily and some devs I've seen in GAF, have said it is not at XboxOne power, but they all agree it is a big upgrade from WiiU.

Basically, if my table is accurate as-is, we'll see the capability of nearly all AAA games to be ported to NS with no significant differences as to how they play on XboxOne.

Keep in mind, as NS portable it will only need to push 720p at most and still look as good as XBO while using 1/2 the power. NS will certainly get upticked and have its active cooling turned on when docked to push that up to 900p or 1080p on a TV. That is where, like XBO to PS4, you'll see dips in frame rate and loss of some textures, etc. But, I don't see how, from a technical standpoint, any of the AAA games could not be ported.

Of course January will either show nothing but low end ports or a few to most AAAs to prove my point.
