Basically what I expected apart from detachable controllers and having to plug the console into a base to use on TV. |

I don't like the sound of this at all. I'd prefer a handheld that is specifically designed to be a handheld, and a home console specifically designed to be a home console. Share architecture/library across both would make a lot of sense, but limiting a home console to roughly the same kind of power envelope/size/cost considerations that would apply to a handheld sounds like a terrible idea. Of course this isn't official yet. |

Surely mobile gaming devices have been pretty much supplanted by mobile phones. I dunno, seems a bit daft. |

Actually, what I expected was basically a Wii U (with carts instead of optical drive) that had everything built into the pad, and a small wireless receiver for the TV. So this news falls kind of short of that, really. |

I read... Quote: Nintendo's upcoming NX will be a portable, handheld console with detachable controllers, a number of sources have confirmed to Eurogamer. ...and thought "It's going to be a popstation isn't it?" |

https://youtu.be/X4SYeDArez4 Remember this reveal trailer? Watching it back I'm reminded that I've done a grand total of one thing with my WiiU that were shown in this trailer (namely use the screen to shoot when it was shoehorned into ZombiU but even then I didn't attach it to the bloody WiiCrapper). |

I can't decide what to think. I don't think I'll end up getting one anyway, though. Mainly because I don't have any large chunks of time away from home where I could be using it. |

Nintendo Switch or The Switch? The press can't make its mind up. Eitherway, it looks like an iPad with snap-on controllers and something is telling me that isn't going to be the final design for the thing and controllers. It's a horrible murky looking grey and the controller looks bleurgh. |

I think it looks brilliant and could be the first Nintendo 'home' console I get (especially if it has Wii backwards compatibility). I spend much of my week commuting, so something like this would be splendid. Though that very much depends on it not requiring an internet signal while out and about. My 4G is too patchy to watch Netflix consistently, let alone stream a game. |

Of course you're not streaming games, that's clearly nonsense. (Plus the video shows it being used on a plane.) |

Also the cartridges seem to be in the handheld bit, so I don't think you'll have to stream games. I think it would almost certainly be compatible with games bought through download, although Nintendo will probably require you to do a one time, one way only, account transfer, knowing them. It is shown running the Zelda game that's (hopefully still) coming for Wii U. Edit: Oh wait, he said Wii compatible. That one is uncertain. Actually, it is unlikely to support the Wii controllers. |

Hmm, there is speculation that it might not even have a touch screen, since it has to work while docked, so maybe it won't in fact be backwards compatible at all. |

As a home console, isn't it a step back from the Wii U? Yes, you can take this out and have LAN parties. But sitting on your bum at home, at the moment, this does less. |

It's the games that matter. My Xbox one does all manner of things but I'm not enjoying it as much as I enjoyed my 360. |

The way I see it, Nintendo is basically asking people to bring this thing with them instead of their regular tablet. I can't really see that happening, unless it runs Android (and does indeed support touch) or something. |

| Author: | TheVision [ Thu Oct 20, 2016 18:26 ] |
| Post subject: | Re: Nintendo Switch (formerly "NX") |
I see this as a replacement to my 3DS or DS that pretty much go everywhere with me. My phone does all the tablet stuff so this would be just for playing games. |
