Hope it does not get an iPhone "notch"... There is a lot of room for improvement in the chipset; currently on 20nm and tegra X2 is 16nm. So you could see more performance per watt. This could mean higher framerates, higher resolution (with backscaling instead of AA) and more with the same battery life.
@thesilverbrick same here. I even sold FEW. Though it has more advanced gameplay than HWDE, the Zelda universe characters are more fun and diverse to play with. Really looking forward to this!!
Labo would have been great if you could buy ONE piece of software and DOWNLOAD the patterns for the cardboard. But in this day and age, apparently companies need to withhold a little something, to make it suck just a little...
"Multiple Samuses (Samii?) not feeling right" There are quite a lot multiilayer ganes where there is one "hero" and a horde of "monsters", complete with systems to balance any number of players and give everybody a chance to be the hero. Would make a nice and hectic MP experience.
Nope, nope, nope and nope. Switch is a game console. One should not want to watch TV and surf the web on it. If you do, You'll need more battery life and other features the Switch can and should not offer. Better activity tracking is OK, the rest should stay as far away from Switch as possible.
@msvt Yep. The missing half is an extra screen and the ability to play DS and WiiU titles. Perhaps the Nintendo smartphone app could function as a "second screen" XD
How about a Wii U classic, with 30 built in games? A portable one, that has two built in screens. The bottom would be a touch screen and... Well, yes maybe it could also play 3DS games!
Yes, Nintendo could make BOTW run on 3ds, in the same way Hyrule Warriors and Fire Emblem Warriors can run on it. BotW in 3D would be something interesting. Then again, draw distance would be somewhere inside your eyes...
This appears to be a complex linkage, like Theo Jansen's Strandbeest (https://youtu.be/azy-c6QXUCw). Those he brute forced on an atari ST a while ago. Amanda Ghassaei worked on it in Mathlab. Those linkages don't resemble feet though. Maybe Nintendo will skip AR (been there, done that) and give "toya to life" a whole new meaning...
@BornInNorway81 I have been holding off on beating Ganon, but I have a feeling it will be fine either way. It's GOTY. It's good. A Wii U game won GOTY!!
@XenoShaun @Agramonte It will at least save you the hassle of the Nintendo' online service and bring you closer to your local Switch players. Streetpass maybe?
@EvilLucario As someone who just got a Wii U about a year ago, was very impressed and upgraded to Switch, I don't see that much of a difference. Switch joy con are as confusing as the Wii U controllers. Mobile is possible, but limited battery life and costlyness makes it more at home... at home. But it doesn't matter; I'm happy if Switch becomes a success.
@Anti-Matter it is a shame Nintendo is letting this crap clutter the catalog. I would imagine they screen the apps, but apparently Nintendo feels they need quantity more than quality...

Re: Valve's Gabe Newell Once Met With Nintendo About A "Joint Project"
@BornInNorway81 that would be HL2:ep1, I think.
Re: Valve's Gabe Newell Once Met With Nintendo About A "Joint Project"
Glad it didn't happen. Though there are magnificent products in Valve's past, there has been nothing of worth for five years.

Nope, nope, nope and nope. Switch is a game console. One should not want to watch TV and surf the web on it. If you do, You'll need more battery life and other features the Switch can and should not offer.

Re: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze And Hyrule Warriors Are Coming To Switch
Hyrule warriors will be more fun and diverse than FE warriors. Especially if the add the 3ds improvements and upp the quality.

Re: The Latest Zelda: Breath of the Wild Free Gift is a Bit Mean to Kass

Re: Bridge Constructor Portal Is Coming To Switch In Early 2018
@Malcrash really? Disappointed and Valve in the same sentence? Disappointed was 5 years ago, when they stopped making games...
Re: Bridge Constructor Portal Is Coming To Switch In Early 2018

Re: Video: Rainway Dev Shows Off Cuphead Co-Op Running On Nintendo Switch
@MrGawain because if they don't, more people will want a jailbreak.
Re: Video: Rainway Dev Shows Off Cuphead Co-Op Running On Nintendo Switch
@Shantephan @Lumine you are probably right. But if Nintendo does not allow it, jailbreak will become more interesting.
