@Emob It says towards the end that they believe the 4K chip is in the dock so it's for outputing 4K when docked. The handheld screen appears to be an OLED but no indication about the resolution (probably not 4K, 1080p would be pretty good for a handheld in my opinion).
@Snatcher you could try the mobile version to get an idea of how the Switch version will be. It actually looks and runs pretty good on a decent phone so I would think the Switch should be on par with that experience.
Geez people... Reading comprehension... They are reporting that all Latin American countries (where there is an official Nintendo distributor, I'd assume) are covered by this. They just mention that they got confirmation from a repair shop in Costa Rica. They are probably not going to contact shops in every single country for confirmation, right?
How is this better than the real, current Switch? No detachable joycons, and that magnetic dock? How is the console outputting the video to it? Magnetically? If it's supposed to be wireless then please no... Everyone that has owned a Steam Link knows that streaming gameplay wirelessly even inside your home is a pain. And also, why? If you are physically putting the console on the dock why not just have a plug? You know, the way it's right now. It's cheaper, more reliable and it just works. And having the console just laying on a surface, screen up, is a terrible design for a dock. The current dock not only serves the purpose of connecting the console to the TV but also is a cradle that holds it and protects it. Nice renders, but terrible product design and I didn't even touch the hardware specs...
Yeah, this is a common thing. In fact all games made in Unity, for example, are 3D. When you start a project you can select the 2D option but it just sets everything up for this orthogonal camera but you are still running a 3D game.
@dystome Nah, the first couple of planets you can unlock in like 3-5 hours. Also, the grind is the game, in a good way. The game consists in playing missions to gather resources and blueprints to build better and cooler equipment and enhance your abilities. Yes, you can pay to fast forward some of that progress but in reality you are essentially paying for not playing the game. It still makes sense if you just want to have that particular frame or gun that looks really cool or to complete your fashionframe look.
People missing the point of what a beta is everywhere... I guess it's in part the industry's fault for abusing the words "beta" or "early access" to justify unfinished products. But this is not that case.
@Razieluigi sure, I know they are not the same thing but my confusion came from seeing how the other review stated the emulation was bad and this one calls it "as close as you can get". The thing is this games should have NO slowdown at all if Capcom did their homework when porting whatever emulation solution they are using to the Switch. Specially considering the later games seem to run just fine.
I'm confused, I just read a comparison made by Ars Technica between all the platforms and they said that although they wanted to recommend the Switch version for the console being perfect for this games, they couldn't because the emulation of the SNES games was plagued by slowdowns. Apparently this doesn't happen in the PS2 era games so they think it comes from the emulation Capcom is using for the SNES games.
And here you say that "the emulation seems to be as close to the orirginlas as possible with no input lag".
@Nincompoop but that's not how this things work. People looking for vulnerabilities and exploits is not a bad thing. It's in fact something that helps companies strengthen and better their products and services. The problem is when some people try to make a profit off of it, that's illegal, unethical and I hope they get banned and prosecuted for it.

Re: Hackers Are Already Uploading Additional Games To The Switch NES Library
Saying that they "uploaded ROMs to the service" is completely ignorant and misleading. They are replacing the ROMs in their devices.
