Switch Nintendo Switch - teaser trailer page 11

Those Pro controllers really do look shocking. A shame if so, the U Pro controllers are fantastic.

Yeah, seriously just re-release that controller = perfection.

So the Wii U Gamepad uses an AC adapter unfortunately. It works fine but it's a bit cumbersome and you need a wall outlet. It does come with a long enough cord for it though which is good.

Hopefully it's just a USB charge for it this time. And to be fair the Wii U came out quite a while ago now so it mightn't be the best guide.

Also the Wii U Pro controller (ie the normal controller) does charge from a USB charger and seriously lasts for like 80 hours or something.

I just wonder with Nintendo and Apple's new found closeness if we'll see some crossover with charging? Would be great to use your old apple cords for this, but im reaching pretty far there.

That is a bit of a Jack Reacher

 

[2006_Eagles]

im assuming the $999 price is just a placeholder, or maybe the typical eb games markup

It's the PS3 all over again

 

[2006_Eagles]

Hahaha



Really like the aesthetics

That NES looing one was only a mockup. But it should become official it looks that good

 

[2006_Eagles]

I always go looking for specs and then realise I have NFI what I'm looking at.

It's all about the teraflops!

*, that gif is a genuinely perfect representation of me scrolling through specs. Amazing.

the pro controller looks awesome, what's bad about it? the gamecube button layout (so ABXY is back to where it should be) has always been best!

It's not very nice to look at. Layout is good though.

 

[kangle4]

Somebody's thoughts on possible controller add ons.

I actually don't mind the grungy look to it. 2 main lines of thought seem to be about. First is it's just a prototype. Second is it looks like that because it's translucent and will light up when applicable.

 

[mighty_sainters]

Holy * if this has a new mario 3D world!!

 

[vide0n]

Looks pretty good

Reception seems to be generally positive but conceptually this is not a big leap from the Wii U but it seems to do enough to overcome the shortcomings of that system. Should do better in the games department if it gets support from mobile/handheld and traditional console developers. Very interesting to see where the dice fall. Many already have a PS4/Xbox One but maybe this will provide just enough value to get people on board without losing access to many of the titles they're interested in.

Can't imagine people will want to pay much more than AUD $400 though.

 

[Mister Carlton]

This should have been the WiiU. Underwhelmed but happy to be swayed in coming months.

One other thing to note is that the dock is just that, a dock for powering the tablet (although it should be able to overclock while docked, meaning it will look better on TV).

This opens the door for tablets with better specs to be released fairly regularly. I imagine much of it will have to be interchangable, given the amount of parts make up the whole thing.

 

[2006_Eagles]

Reading through it a little more and digesting it, I'm so keen on new Zelda/Mario/Smash/MK/Metroid etc. and being able to play them on a plane and on the go.

This will be a day 1 buy if it launches with Zelda (I'm assuming it will).

It's been confirmed as a launch title I think

 

[eDPS]

I'll take a stab at a starting price which I'm thinking either 300 or 350 depending on the package and what you get in that package but standard I'd guess 300$

 

[mighty_sainters]

$429

 

[dtm06]

$450

Tree fiddy.

 

[Quivorir]

I believe the should give it away.

 

[ep2018]

Any word on whether the screen is a touch screen? You'd think it would have been mentioned by now if it were.

The answer is yes which I think you'll find in this massive info dump
