ipads have good battery life
it probably won't be horrible
ipads are also not running powerful cpus and dedicated graphics
they are running 4cores
And you can probably get a seperate charger for the thing too
They are sometimes running 4 cores
yeah, and they have good batteries
The ipad processor does not operate like a standard cpu
Its gonna be prob 3x the power draw of the ipad and only 2/3 the battery room
so 2 hours on low settings
thats fine
Its gonna be fine, but dont expect it to last all day
They are calling their controller the Joy-Con
Im wondering how they will handle additional storage
According to the dev specs, it looks like USB
If theyre gonna allow usb expansion or possibly even sdhc upgrades kinda like the 3ds
I would assume you can get an external drive to plug into the dock
I could see the system memory being an sdhc card that is replaceable
Since the dock isnt going anywhere
SD would also make sense
Their partner list suggest that Unreal 4 will support Switch
They look like theyre sticking with the 3ds cartridge design, so your game wont really be on the system
Tho I though they had kinda hit the limit of what those carts could hold
This is a different cart design
I mean, itd have to be
Its gotta hold up to like 45-60gb
Since they are also trying to not kill the 3DS
are the specs out?
Not officially
Dev Kit supposed specs are out
Nintendo may optimize their games to no end to save space, but you bet your ass the normal devs arent gonna
Scroll up to see them
micro sdhc holds 128gb easily
they're on par with the xbone
I didnt think the current cartridges used sd card chips as the storage tho
Theyre gonna have to now
The new cartridge actually looks smaller than the 3DS carts :/
size is irrelevant for game data
yeah girth of data matters way more than size
People lose 3DS carts all the time
i buy most games digitally, hopegully memory upgrades are painless
yeah you just need to download a bigger hard drive
I just hope save files wont be stored on the cartridge :NotLikeThis:
they probably will be

http://puu.sh/rPvha/b6d2807496.jpg I have always wanted to mount my game system to the seat of a car chair
I only really use mobile things in the bathroom and when I am in bed
I wonder how theyre gonna fit 2 full control sets onto the controller
NotLikeThis
i didn't see the mount
thats cool
Because everyone wants to play mario kart in a car on a screen the size of my hand
That looks painful to play splitscreen
splitscreen is painful on any setup
its probably better in person
But is the switch vr announcement coming Kappa
although I haven't tried 4k split screen
But hey, at least you get to see that Mario Kart is bringing back 2 item slots from Double Dash
4k wont run split screen
for this thing maybe but in general you can do 4k split screen
Does it come with a bodysuit covered in solar panels to keep it powered? Kappa
i get why they 'switched' back to a xbox style control layout, but i liked the wii u one
It actually comes with a Wii fitness board that allows you to power it by doing Yoga
I think the better choice than making a handheld and console would be a handheld and phone
The real question tho...will it run pokemon GO?
Thats.. thats 1 thing
i hope not
A phone is handheld...
most phones don't have physical controls
you can get controls for your phone
I mean...it could
Ya, I see phone controllers all the time
