@Savino they always have been. Perhaps you never really looked into this. I don't remember why 3rd party docks bricked Switches, but it had something to do with display output. Powerbanks are just juicing up your battery mate.
@Frobodobo No, actually. There aren't that many high quality stuff that gives you this kind of capacity for something this small. The only other one that comes to my mind is Anker's stuff, but they're hella expensive too. And quality matters too, I've bought enough chinese rip-offs that never delivered their advertised capacity and instead degraded heavily after a few recharge cycles to know quality. I bought a 10,000mAh from Anker and while it was expensive, it's still at over 80% capacity after two years. I don't know if this kickstarter is using the same quality of batteries as them but if they are, they have a reason to charge way more. Not that they should, but there's nothing stopping them.
I think they could lose the flashy looks and display and save a few bucks. This kind of capacity in this form factor and functionality isn't exactly common, but the price is just way too high.
Should've set an age limit, and up to two per kid. It disgusts me to see adults (who clearly never grew up) take away every last unit, leaving none for the kids.
Booty slapping random women on the street is something kids will learn from this. It's not offensive for a sane adult, but think about the kids. The kids, bruh!
@sixrings If there ever was going to be a console version, it's probably going to come near the end of the Switch's life time at around $120-150 (or even less!) to soak up any on-the-fence sales to keep the momentum going. With Nintendo's current vision to have a Switch for every family member in the house, it just doesn't align. They might though, they did make a Switch Lite that doesn't actually, well, switch.
I personally don't care about having a magnesium alloy body or a bezel-less screen. The current display is fine - actually a slightly higher quality IGZO panel would be much appreciated. Resolution on either mode can stay the same as it is now. Nintendo really needs to pack more punch into the Switch. A CPU that isn't throttled by design, a GPU that's at least close to the base Xbox One's and more memory at a higher bandwidth - that's a recipe for a Switch that'll stay relevant for 2020 and beyond.

Ah, that's normal.

The hilariously poor and short shadow render quality is a constant reminder this isn't supposed to run at 8k

@bobzbulder it's just a powerbank, not a dock. They're vastly different things.

Re: Scalpers And Collectors Buy Up McDonald's Pokémon Happy Meals
@Zenszulu I didn't consider the times we're living in right now. Fair enough. There should still be a limit of two per person.

I feel ashamed.

Got a perfect 10/10. I've played too much Zelda.
Well, actually no.

@Xansies for a portable machine it's not necessary.
