I always said when we found out what it was that when it's going to be attached to the dock, the power increase won't be significant and yea... It really isn't. All the dock is, is that its an overpriced usb/power hub with an HDMI port which is a shame. And there a bunch of other reasons why I don't like it as a console such as the menus being rendered at 720p even in docked mode which looks pretty blurry on my 4k TV. But then as a handheld, it is great. Since the screen is 720p, the image itself is a lot clearer, no performance hiccups and main menu isn't blurry either. I really would have prefered it if they just went for a handheld instead of a so called "Hybrid" cause it does the handheld part really well but not so much the console part. It would have helped with the price too. But yea, I would have waited too if it wasn't for Zelda which got me to buy it and that was worth every penny. But a smart buyer would wait imo, specially with the joyconn connectivity issues in console mode. |
I imagine that if they had scrapped the expensive dock and just focused on it being a mobile device/party platform (1, 2 Switch is giving me huge Wii party kit vibes with those Joycons, like theyr eally, really want that crowd back again), then the price point would have been a bit lower and I would have likely gone for it a lot sooner. Now I'm just waiting on them to optimize what they can for docked mode (not expecting much) and for the price to go down a bit (unlikely since it's Nitnendo and they think lowering the price is somehow lwoering the value of the device for all 7 billion people on this rock).
Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
