it's probably more powerful in the shading dept or some other gfx card stuff but memory bandwidth and total bandwidth it's probably not.

to me the switch is more a ps3 'lite'. now it COULD probably have been a bit faster if it were a console but the form factor hampers it a lot.

i really hope the more powerful version is real and isn't cut up by N for dumb reasons. If i can get xb360/ps3 + graphics at a solid framerate i'd be happy. throw an oled screen on it for powersavings and more/faster ram and it'd be a nice upgrade.

@hihelloitsme

meh. just a bunch of 'i just got one' and 'why make a new one so fast'.

i read it. it's going to take a while for console folks to come around to a 2 - 3 year cadence on consoles. it's happening though so no reason to fight it.

long gone are the days of 6-8-10 year cycles.

@gaby_gabito

it'd be hard to get it to run on the pro even. the xbx has issues with it even at 1080/30fps.

PC is where this one will shine. Just like GTAV.

@hihelloitsme

I'm pretty sure no one is 'wondering' that.

@NintendoFan4Lyf

N are garbage wrt fans.

they treat fans like crap.

this is nifty but i really like the new look they're doing so whatever. honestly i'd like to see them remade in a more cartoon/higher quality sprites look. sure the snes game holds up but it'd look much better being animated more like shantae and the more animation looking higher res stuff.

I wish N would just team up with MS and let MS run their online infrastructure.

doesn't have to be labeled Xbox but MS has the best backend in the business so if MS is really going to transition to more services it's a no brainer.

i like the look but this game is not for me.

pass.

@Gs69

they're also all in on Azure and are basically pushing windows to the background.

MS is all in on services.

@Dman10

i had no idea the original ran at 30. guess i never noticed.

could i get daytona?

also could namco please release an arcade perfect ridge racer?

that's is all.

I'll throw it on the wishlist.

mine only drift when detached. noticed playing zelda on the tv.

i think i have the blutooth issue that a piece of foam fixes or whatever. if i ever really care to play on the tv i'll just get a pro controller anyway. the included dock thing is fine but not comfortable enough for long term use imo.

lol no.

it's google. this thing will be abandoned within 2 years if not sooner.

@nofriendo

probably.

heck even today on the highest rigs 3d is still not up to what they're trying to make it do. sure it's gotten better but now we're at a point to where the uncanny valley is almost silly and if they try to make it too real looking it just looks bad.

3d is fine but i like stylized 3d more. something like gtav instead of the division or what breath of the wild is over them trying to do something 'realistic' with it.

we're not even close to there yet.

@Zach777

probably.

AC games run like crap on pretty much anything but the highest end PCs (and it struggles on those too).

I wouldn't expect much out of the switch (less than usual).

@SmaggTheSmug

you read my mind.

i'd love a remake of 2. my favorite one.

@Kalmaro

I can read just fine. N still needs a 2 year cadence on this 'console'.

I know they're too stupid to do it but that doesn't mean it's not the right move.

so the thing can't even run an old 360/ps3 game at 60fps?

N really needs a refresh cycle of 2 years for this thing. like a phone.

unfortunately they got in bed with Nvidia which is an awful company to deal with. i'd rather have seen them partner with Apple who actually is pushing the boundaries of low powered chips.

oh well. i've already beat this game so whatever.

@pjzelda

hehe. if the switch can't pull of a quake engine game at 60fps then N is done.

put real buttons on it and it'd be fine imo.

or if they released a 'classic' that looked like the OG but was super thin. that'd be awesome. clean up the screen a bit, backlight it, heck; even allow OG carts to be used.

i'd pick one up.

minish cap would be great!

@brunojenso

agreed. i do wish they would update the UI for things like that.

@Desrever

microsoft is going more agnostic. they'll still have an xbox but all games will be pc/xbox and streaming.

they see more money in that then trying to keep a closed ecosystem and i think they're right.

I liked him enough.

they REALLY need a whole new team at NOJ.

@hihelloitsme

who says that?

the xb1 hardware is also more powerful than a tegra with a much larger power budget.

my pc is 7 years old and can still smash the twins. it's all about power budge and a phone will never come close to what a console can have.

no excuse for this though. bleh.

@lnrts99

that'd be awesome as i never finished it.

that style is awesome.

no more 'realistic' the thing just can't handle it. give me this all day long over BOTW's slowdown and pop-in (even though i do like botw).

That zelda remaster looks incredible.

Day 1.

not even the same game 'style' anyway.

is this the arcade version or some genesis port?

i forget what ages is. isn't that their arcade porting group?

only PC here with diablo but if switch/console of your choosing works the same way; cool.

it's a kinda fun thing to keep d3 fresh (100 years isn't fresh but sure). i hate the mobile thing but i will download and play i'm sure.....

day 1 but i'm not sure i love the paper on paper visuals.

it's clean i guess but i dunno.

either way; unless it just sucks i'll be downloading it. capcom beat'em up is actually really good and wolverblade is hard but very good as well. this will fit right in.

@Grumblevolcano

mainly it's because they can crap out ps4/xb/pc games with little to no effort.

downgrading the show to ps3 levels is harder than many seem to think if the devs want to fight it at all.

N needs to update the switch with a 2 year cadence. that's the only way an old phone proc will compete in the home console market.

@Al_Godoy

what kind of ammo does a ps4 shoot?

i have this game. it's fun. i think i may have bought it on steam a long time ago but i don't remember. i bought the switch version anyway.

snes should be #1.

@Heavyarms55

i would think that's what all of them will do. MS has basically said the xbox will be very PC like in that everything will be BC. sony is doing that as well and N really should too (they make bad decisions so who knows with them).

honestly MS is doing more interesting things imo. streaming console may not be what we want in the US for now but there's a host of countries with real internet that something like that could be really cool.

that's impossible to see.

not for me.

tried the demo.

it works but is a little harder with the tiny joycon sticks. i had the ps2 copy and the longer/more bigger sticks make the game easier to manage.

still brought back some good memories once that music get's going.

the playstation classic is a turd.

what's even better is with some certain keyboards you can get into the system and basically do whatever you want.

i wonder if the arm chip is slower than what N used or just the emulator is that bad. i know sony just basically used an open source emulator so i dunno how well that thing works.

@Bevinator

there's 10's of you. 10's i say!

@Moroboshi876

not having a disc drive basically killed it imo.

the switch can survive because now we just download it all but back then losing square and final fantasy was a death blow that N still hasn't recovered from.

makes sense if it's ue4.

dbz plays and looks great so ue4 seems to be pretty scalable.

looks interesting. how's the emulation?

i'd actually love a little device like this that could be loaded with whatever emulator wanted to play the games. heck; something that could run 8-16 bit games flawlessly. i'd love to be able to run tg16 cd isos on something like this. maybe a bit larger screen.

something in the gba form factor maybe.

@MasterJay

ehh...... the motors and batteries yes.

the car itself? not so much.

@Rayquaza2510

reminds me of pretty much every popular system. tons of games, most are complete trash.

i think the ps2 was the worst offender but that honor may be held by the nes.

@justin233

yeah. i'd drop a tenner on it. these games aren't bad really. they LOOK like they would be but honestly they are somewhat interesting.

@gcunit

why is IOS a dig?

the switch is the same thing as an ipad but less powerful. honestly an ipad pro would run circles around a switch. hell probably an iphone x (whatever the new junk is) is more powerful than the switch (but probably more thermally limited).

@justin233

agreed. i like the cleaner look over them trying to shoe-horn bad 'realistic' graphics in.

i played some burnout paradise on ps3 a week or so ago and couldn't believe the game now looks just bad. low res everything.

i'm interested to say the least.

@JDORS

yep; which is why i think the playstation mini/classic whatever is a non-starter as well.

those graphics were truly bad and weren't really all that good when the systems released. i remember ridge racer and liking it but still thinking that it was waay off from the arcade and wishing the graphics were better.

late 90's 3d was just a joke in all respects. wasn't until the ps2/dc came about that it got 'ok' and it took the 360/ps3 to finally get something comparable to the PC games that came before.
