Forums - Nintendo - Nintendo Switch Preview Trailer

A couple of things I noted:

-The tablet indeed has active cooling, you can see a fan vent on the upper side.
-The docking station is pretty large, I'm expecting a storage drive and/or some kind of processing unit (confirming the SCD patent).

I think its as powerful as wii u as a portable using tegra and powerful using that amd rtx 470 rumor for the home console

From the video it doesn't seem to me that the dock increases the power of the device, it's an exceptionally strong handheld but I don't think the dock contains any hardware itself.

How in the name of whatever you believe in can you figure that out. The docking station is an anomaly judging from the vid. I was just looking at it more positively



Just a guy who doesn't want to be bored. Also

I don't see how people can comment on the power of the system

The form factor alone is enough to go on to say it won't be more powerful than an XBO.



NVIDIA rumours were true.

What guy?

Some rumor was posted not too long ago about 3D Swap or 3D Switch, something like that.

Never heard of it, but from the looks of it, it's been disproven.

I have to say i'm really impressed so far.

My main concern is still about the power of the system though, but if it's getting games like Skyrim remastered I would hope it's either at least at Xbox One power level or close to it, maybe if we're lucky it could be slightly above it.

There's no way from what I saw that that is even XBox One in power. The Mario game doesn't look like anything the Wii U couldn't run. 

Looks maybe a tad better than a Wii U, isn't Skyrim like 5 year old game? What's the big deal? 

1. You are either trolling

2. Your gaming culture is severelylacking to notice that that is the Skyrim remake and not the original one. In that case please play some more games and read a bit up on gaming history, so we can actually have a civilized gaming related discussion

BR,

A Sony fan who can actually apreciate other manufacturers work as well.

Looks cool. But I am not convinced. This is what Wii U supposed to be.

Yeah this is essentially I think what they wanted the Wii U to be. 

I remember Iwata saying they experimented with putting the chip inside the Wii U controller, but it simply wasn't feasible for 2011/12. 

Now you have the Tegra chip, and stuff like that is easier.

In the video they remove the tablet during gameplay and continue playing seamlessly. That pretty blatantly shows the dock doesn't perform any rendering itself imo.



So, it seems that we will get an updated version of Mario Kart 8. King Boo is one of the new characters there.

And Skyrim is obviously the Special Edition (Remastered) one.
