If we talk about 3rd party ports of course, I expecting 540-720p in handheld mode and 720p in docked mode for 3rd party ports (of course less demandning games like Lego, Just Dance...would be able to run at higher resolution).

In that case, why make a trailer for gamers ... Shyrim, classic or pro pad, select nvidia instead of DMP, no children ... And what Nintendo will do if microsoft or sony them also come with a portable 1 TFLOPS with ease porting their games xbox / ps4... 

And in what Switch is a new concept ? It's just a portable  with TV mode... Why trying to do believe that a home console ? Something is going wrong... 

Because they targeting gamers too, they aming whole potentional market with Switch, and of course that Skyrim can be just positive thing for Switch not negative. They didn't choose Nvidia because "gamers", they probably chose them because Nvidia suit them more for their need. Nintendo have hybrid device not just portable console.

Its hybrid of home console and handheld, that was very obvious from 1st Switch trailer, dont pay attention on Nintendo PR beacuse thats just PR talk, they saying that Switch is on 1st place home console only because they need still to sell 3DS and Pokemon this holiday season while Wii U is dead. I can bet they will change their PR talk some time after this year.

Nintendo skimped on the power. That's been Nintendo's MO for years now. At least as far as being a home console is concerned. Its just a response to the handheld mode. As a handheld its solid. As anything else it is not good.

Well, Switch is a handheld. Nintendo marketing wants to tell you differently? Yeah, because they can ask for higher prices on home console hardware and games. Also WiiU is a failure, so they want to market Switch as a successor.

My calculator isn't skimping on power. He can do ever calculation I throw at him in 60fps.

Throw 3756! at your calculator (the ! is the operation).

I'm not sure Switch will be close to XB1 power but ultimately it doesn't really matter. Nintendo have got people's attention with the Switch and love or hate the concept, it's unique and fresh. I seriously think we are looking at a console that can sell 15M+ a year and it's not being sold on power.

Is the entire point of your existence to be negative about Nintendo?



I LOVE ICELAND!

Trailer showed us primarily a portable ... If the purpose was not to show it as a competitor to the 3DS, Nintendo can not do worse ... Everyone thinks that the switch is a portable..

Nintendo has spent nearly $ 1.5 billion in research and development for a detachable pad system? This is not consistent ... The dock does more than supercharge the switch.

Not true, its showed like hybrid device, home console and handheld in one. Purpose and intended of Switch is great shown is in trailer, there is nothing unclear about Switch from trailer, whats Nintendo PR talk is totally different thing, but that's just PR talk.

You dont know how much Nintendo spent on R&D for Switch, and who cares how much they spent if Switch will be popular and actualy sale. Dock will gave power and connectors for sure, it's assumed it will have active cooling also so that Switch in dock mode will be able to run at higher clocks and run games at higher resolution on TV compared in handheld mode.

I love Nintendo. Its Nintendo that doesn't love me. And many other fans of their home consoles.



Miyamotoo, we know that Nintendo has to spend on R & D, can not be assigned by the switch, but considering their unique machine now, it is likely that a large majority for the switch..
After in the trailer, we re looking at a portable, we see that is displayed on the tv, so a successor to the 3DS and the way that Nintendo no needs to make a home console ... If Nintendo wanted the 3ds pass quiet Christmas, it would not broadcast the trailer, Nintendo would simply give appointment on January 12...
Something isn't coherent...

Of Course they need to spend on R&D for Switch but we don't know how much exactly, for instance last year-two Nintendo had multiply patents.

You are wrong, trailer begins with guy playing game on TV with separate controller, basically like real home console, in next moment he takes Switch with itself outside of home and use it like real handheld continue playing same game. In trailer we saw that Swtich acts like real home console or like real handheld,so basically hybrid of home console and handheld and that's most accurate definition of Switch.

You can't really not saying anything or not show anything about new platform only 2-3 months before launch, they released Switch trailer before holiday season in order to people be aware of Switch concept that will come in 5 months, and they done great job with, reactions are very positive and great. They PR talk (and nobody really pays attention on PR talk) just said that Switch is home console on first place beacsue Wii U is dead and they still need to sell 3DS and Pokemon this holiday season. Its all very obvious and clear. You realise they even for DS said that isn't successor to GBA, because they want to keep selling GBA despite DS launch.
