Rumor: Nintendo Switch Release Date, Price, And Games Lineup Teased!

[superchunk]

I like what is there and especially the price.

But WTF does this mean?

"Rumors suggest that the Nintendo Switch includes an NFC ID card to download your content onto other devices such as unlockable characters in Mario Kart and possibly games you own temporarily downloaded. This is their solution for poor battery life. A card will be included, and new cards are available for around $10."

Are they suggesting the battery life concern is mitigated because you can just buy 2 NS consoles and switch between them when the battery is low? Is that the real meet behind the Switch name?

I can see Nintendo having an easy way to take your specialized characters and game saves, that is a cool feature. But there is no way they'll make this as a benefit for battery life. To me, 3hr battery sucks, but I already own large portable batteries and I don't see myself using this a lot away from a plug anyways. So it's not a deal breaker.
