general

he stole that meme

Did he?

i saw it earlier on facebook

There is a rumor that this is region free

that had better not just be a rumor

I dont see any confirmation

Thanks for reposting that

I totally didnt post it moments before

Yea but the picture didnt show up because discords lame

It showed up for me and I assume for leg

the cpu is up to current standards i believe, the 30 fps uhd is dissapointing though

Nah 30fps uhd is ahead of the current consoles

i thought the new xbone could do it

Nope

Only upscales 1080p

Not actually running in uhd

4k streaming

though i guess thats around 24 fps

Yes, it can run 4k netflix, but idc about that

24.9 or 29.9 depending on pal or ntsc

so its up to standards completely, plus portability and capacitative multi-touch

The battery life tho

My god is it gonna be shit

It prob will clock way down when in handheld mode, maybe limit to 30fps

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

ok

Its gonna be prob 3x the power draw of the ipad and only 2/3 the battery room

so 2 hours on low settings

Yes

Mhmm

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

Fu bot

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

i didn't see the mount
