@dronesplitter if it was locked up why would they wait to send it out months later, it would make no business sense to do that. In this case I believe it's a part of the game that they didn't take away but instead are adding.
@Untempered-Link (in reply to not knowing details of the system when you say the $300 price tag) you know these are details that we will have at launch day and if you're skeptical of how powerful the system is, don't preorder and wait until more details come out. No one has to steal a system early just so a few people are happy (or sad if they don't like the power)
Maybe not a port but what about a switch version of one of their upcoming games? Basically shares assets with the other versions but has lower quality graphics to make all versions run the same
@Yorumi actually it's not always better in everything. What if your router isn't in the same room as your TV? A wired connection would be a bad idea also wired connections using Ethernet degrade fast over long distance.
Looks like I gotta wait until the beginning of June for the Switch, but by that time I will actually have games I want to buy other than Zelda. By that time the buy will feel like it was worth it.
@LinkSword Corrected meant sub @TbobB I just cringe because people don't actually understand what they are saying also you could literally have the person speaking gibberish and people wouldn't know the difference
@KilleyMC original 3ds was $250 but was price cut down to $170 honestly just for a 3D gimmick you end up paying a ton for a relatively weak system and then the new 3ds is $200 ($250 XL) again not a huge improvement in tech but it's still expensive. The Wii U is still $250 and you think the switch is expensive at $300 even though it's more powerful than a Wii U and is portable?
@Bigontino The 3ds has to render 3 screens (this is a fact) top screen requires 2 renders when 3d is enabled which is how the 3d functionality works, and the bottom screen is also rendered. In order for the switch to utilize a 3d feature, it would have to render 2 screens. This is not as taxing on the 3ds as games are not as powerful, but on the switch these games are most likely going to push the limitations of the system so a 3d feature would be like nintendo shooting themselves in the foot.
@Untempered-Link It had 3 different options one showed buttons and wii remote on screen, one showed buttons without remote, and last one showed nothing but hearts I think

Re: Even When Under Pressure The Nintendo Switch Isn't Too Hot To Handle
First picture:
Avg~ 77.4 F
Min~ 65.5 F
Max~ 99.68 F
Pretty close guess to max temp as it matched body temperature.
I wouldn't expect the switch to reach above 120F so I think we're good.

Re: Editorial: The 3D Effect - A Smart 3DS Feature That Struggled to Find Its True Depth
@Bigontino The 3ds has to render 3 screens (this is a fact) top screen requires 2 renders when 3d is enabled which is how the 3d functionality works, and the bottom screen is also rendered. In order for the switch to utilize a 3d feature, it would have to render 2 screens. This is not as taxing on the 3ds as games are not as powerful, but on the switch these games are most likely going to push the limitations of the system so a 3d feature would be like nintendo shooting themselves in the foot.
Re: Editorial: The 3D Effect - A Smart 3DS Feature That Struggled to Find Its True Depth
To be fair the Switch would perform terribly in comparison (to tablets) as it would have to render 2 screens at once.
