Compile that with the fact that it seems Nintendo's entire online stuff will be on ones phone it seems, that also doesn't bog down the system at all.

So even if the Switch was exactly the same in power as Wii U, it should be able to push it further. But it is slightly more powerful on top of the OS savings and not having to stream to gamepad.

The requirment of a mobile phone for aspects of a games console is baffling to me, I just can't believe how poor the thought process is right there.... I lie actually, I can believe how bad it is given the weak handling of Nintendos online service to date, but a voice app on a mobile phone is considered to be part of what we get for a monthly subscription in comparison to putting any headset into the ps4 controller and chatting away with those in game/party it's just insanity.

I'll wait to see it before I judge, but yea it just seems like a jimmy rigged version of something. But whatever. I don't use any subscription internet gaming services, so won't affect me.
