And if we look carefully what does the Switch looks like, we have this: I'm just seeing a screen with hardware built-in. It lacks buttons to be used as a handheld. And if you go to the "of course we need to attach the joycons" then the same principle can be applied to the dock and thus its HDMI output. A Switch without joycons but a dock and a pro controller makes it a home console. A Switch without a dock but joycons makes it a handheld. But you can't just ignore one one the 2 features to call it whatever you want to. It's a mini TV for me, with gaming capabilities. End of story. |
Come n lets be honest here.
You do need to attach the controllers. But there is another reason those controllers are made detachable and thats to allow for local multiplayer.
But look at that pic. Then look at say the WiiU. The wiiU was a home console. It will not work without the console sitting somewhere on the shelf.
And this isn't abut ignoring any features. You are using the jycans as the differentiator when in truth the real differentiator is the dock. That is the one thing that the NS des not need to be a NS. The NS can work with the pro controller or the joycons without a dck. The dock is useless without the NS.
Ok indulge me. If the NS was sold without a dock but instead with a USB C two pronged cable whose one end connects via HDMI to a tv and the other to a power source will the NS still work exactly as is right now?
All the hardware needed t make the NS the NS fits into your hands. That is exactly why its called a handheld.
