Re: Feature: Fire Emblem And 8 Other Nintendo Franchises That Need A TV Series

In today's world, the last thing that Nintendo needs to do is expose these franchises to a tv audience. There would be so much hate levied if they don't tick all of the "correct" boxes, that it is not worth the headache. Nintendo needs to improve the Switch system and work on getting games released, not worrying about public outcry concerning possible issues with a tv show.

@The_New_Butler I have a gaming pc so I am aware of these things.
The issue with storage is, that it is limited, now matter which version you go with. A large SD card, 1TB for example, is 200.00. I have 8TB of storage on my pc. So, you will need multiple cards, solutions, at the ready for use with the Deck. This makes the system less portable.
You do have choice when it comes to settings, which may affect battery life, however, the battery is limited, so your choice is limited to a degree when you are travelling.
The Deck is lighter than a laptop, but is still big and there will be complaints that it is not portable enough. This is for gaming, not general use, like a laptop, so that is going to be an issue.
I bring up the dock because this is being compared to a device that comes with a dock, and the overall value is being brought up. If a dock is not necessary, then why make one?
I am not bagging on the system, I just think the comparison with Switch is pointless.
This device is not going after the same audience, it just looks similar. For a PC this thing is priced great, but for a handheld gaming device, the ideal model is above what main stream audiences will pay. Take care.

Steam Deck looks pretty cool, however, am I the only one that thinks the storage is a major problem with it? Not to mention, the battery life is going to be a problem. PC gamers arent known for their conservative settings for gaming, so I can see this being a two hour or less system on the go. Also, it is much bigger than the switch, which people already say isn't portable enough. Also, this is digital only system, period. Anyone with a Steam library will be doing a lot of shuffling games around, no matter which version they go with. Oh, and isn't is suspicious that they didn't announce the price of the dock? You know it is going to be 150.00 or more. These are issues that are going to cause big problems once the initial thrill of the power info wears off. I still may get one at some point, but not right away. Have a good weekend everyone!
