What exactly is wrong with 720p -strictly for the mobile aspect-?
Also, why have all the big reporters completely ignored the "supplemental computing device" patent that was filed along with all of the other patents that gave us our initial understanding of the NX?
Other urls found in this thread:
wtf
What?
720p is not confirmed.
The fact they didn't clarify and have stated they have no plans to clarify till the new year just lets people speculate and decide pre-emptively. Nintendo is just killing themselves with this, it's not like the wii, everyone's skeptical, and with the PS4 pro coming out before the switch, and microsoft almost guaranteed to suck the wind from any potential sails nintendo will have in february/march, by announcing more info on the scorpio.
They picked possibly the worst time to release their system. A ton of fairly hyped up games launching in late january and early february is gonna have people's wallets tight, and no info and potentially faking the available titles at launch on the switch is also just... well, really boggling.
I mean, bethesda at least has said they're confirming a partnership on the switch, but they still haven't just outright stated "yes skyrim will be on the switch", that's a god damned system seller. that NEEDS to be something people know will be on there day 1. That and minecraft.
Does the wii u even have minecraft, actually?
Well obviously, nothing is confirmed. But that isn't stopping people from bitching about the RUMORED resolution. I'm asking those people what their issue with it is.
Why're you tripping?
>why have all the big reporters completely ignored the "supplemental computing device" patent
Because it's just a patent, dummy.
Whether the dock actually provides additional power for the the console will likely be de/confirmed in January.
Because Nintendo advertised it as if it's going to be that and as powerful as current gen consoles.
The Dock does not have any processing power.
The best it could do is overclock the device since it's now on a reliable source of power as well as a bigger fan.
Nintendo is calling it a "home console", but it's not. It's a 3DS successor, they just want to make sure the 3DS keeps selling for a while.
>The fact they didn't clarify and have stated they have no plans to clarify till the new year just lets people speculate and decide pre-emptively.
In regards to the supplemental computing device?
>They picked possibly the worst time to release their system.
I disagree. If they release alone, then they'll have a monopoly on people who are looking to buy something new, at least at the time. Though I don't think we can really speculate on how well it'll do until it actually comes out.
>and potentially faking the available titles at launch on the switch is also just... well, really boggling.
I really doubt they showed the Skyrim remaster without knowing it'll definitely be on the system. I mean, yeah, it was there just for some extra adrenaline in the trailer, but the statements the devs made about it are just standard. Now if they hadn't confirmed their partnership yet, I'd agree with you.
>Does the wii u even have minecraft, actually?
Yep. Though it came really late, and you can't use the gamepad for inventory, which is a fucking shame.
480p is more likely desu
I will be impressed if they pull off 720p. That would be very good.
The dock doesn't seem to have a fan. The exhaust port is at the top and the back of the handheld has nothing. It's just a lump of plastic with HDMI out and AC connector. Been done before.
No they didnt retard.
Yes they did, by showing Skyrim and Wii U version of Zelda.
Fuck off shill
Eh. Just to make it easier to reply and stuff. Doesn't hurt.
>Because it's just a patent, dummy.
So was everything else at the time, but the controller and the dock were CONSTANTLY reported on. There was basically an equal chance for each of those patents to be real projects or just ideas, and of all the patents they found, the SCD was completely forgotten. Am I really the only one who is extremely interested in a cloud-computing service from Nintendo? That would spell a VERY different generation from them, at least in terms of the performance of their system compared with other consoles.
>Whether the dock actually provides additional power for the the console will likely be de/confirmed in January.
I'm pretty sure that theory has already been officially falsified. Which is all the more reason why I'm interested in the SCD patent.
I don't see what the big deal is about the switch trailer. Like 85% of all commercials involving content on a screen is faked. It's not like they're advertising PC-quality games and then delivering us gamecube graphics. They haven't said anything about the "gameplay" we saw, and rightfully so. That's just some paranoid skepticism.
>Nintendo is calling it a "home console", but it's not.
I don't see why you can't consider it a home console AND a mobile one. Especially if the rumor that they're shooting for 1080p and 60 fps is true.
Because it's just a patent, Nintendo has already stated it's just a charging dock/video passthrough.
>It's not like they're advertising PC-quality games and then delivering us gamecube graphics
You don't know that. There has been zero footage of actual Switch gameplay. There's nothing wrong with the post-production, but that they showed bullshots. Remember when Vita was unveiled? It was shown running MGS4.
See, you're the main issue here. You see a trailer that's meant to showcase the console itself and take what you see as some sort of written promise, directly from Nintendo, that the NX will have 4k, 60 fps, definitely all the multiplats, etc.
I mean, maybe I'm wrong and they really are trying to -trick- you, but I don't see sufficient evidence to back that up. They haven't specifically mentioned anything about the titles that will be on the system, or how they'll run. Although I do completely expect fairly modern-looking games.
Calm down, edgelord.
If you think I'd have to be a shill to ask a simple question like "Why does this make everyone mad", then I think you don't have an answer for me. If you don't, then please just tip your fedora at me and leave.
Nintendo has already stated there is going a next gen 3ds successor as well.
>release alone
they're not though. People will still be coming off of the potential ps4pro purchase, since wave 1 is sold out and wave 2 is set for fucking february.
Not to mention that sony is almost definitely gonna dump a whole load of retropatching pro support for games in march just to combat this stuff.
It's industry standard, you release alone and you can't capitalize on another company's potential fuckup. Do you not remember this from e3 2013?
youtube.com
Sony absolutely shit ALL OVER microsoft because they capitalized on microsoft trying to take the initiative to outpace sony and release a bunch of info early.
Trying to be quick to the draw works only occasionally. Doing it after coming off of a massive commercial failure of a system is a very, very poor idea.
Especially now that they're pulling this third pillar bullshit they did with the DS. They're throwing the switch out there as though they don't think it will succeed, and will just retreat to the 3DS if/when it does.
They're making a bunch of missteps, especially releasing a video before the ps4pro launch. It's not a surprise or unknown that the ps4 is the most successful system this gen (thus far anyway), and trying to upstage them when your last system was literally so shit that people thought it was an addon is just a bad idea.
From a strictly business standpoint the choices seem like smart ones. But the "gamer" market isn't typical, and doesn't follow standard practices, and really, I think this is just another misstep on nintendo's part. Also, i'm not sure they're doing any favors to themselves by essentially cutting support to their one successful online game, splatoon, just to advertise a port to the new system, with new content. That's just really poor form and I can't imagine they made any fans with that shit.
I think you're a little mixed up. There's a patent that actually calls it a "Supplemental computing device", which can be hooked directly to the system, to give it a significant performance boost. The patent also describes a sort of "cloud computing" service where nearby supplemental computing devices can help render your games for you. They even go into so much detail as to describe an online system where you're rewarded for each unit of time that you allow your device to lend itself to the "cloud" service.
Look up "supplemental computing device". I'm definitely not talking about the dock for the tablet.
>You don't know that. There has been zero footage of actual Switch gameplay.
That's exactly my point. It's way too early for us to make any -real- speculation about the games, or how they're going to run, because this trailer was ONLY to show off the system itself.
Skyrim is not a next gen game you fucking nigger. An ods are its gonna run Zelda the same as wii u.
>From a strictly business standpoint the choices seem like smart ones. But the "gamer" market isn't typical, and doesn't follow standard practices, and really, I think this is just another misstep on nintendo's part.
Well, I don't know how much you know about the games industry, but I can't say that I know much about business. All I know is that having a sort of monopoly is what they have in mind. I'd be lying to you if I said that I love the idea that they're not releasing at a more standard time. Anyway, we're a little off-topic. All I really want to discuss is the 2 things outlined in the OP.
>Skyrim is not a next gen game you fucking nigger.
That's mostly true, but to be fair, it IS being remastered.
>An ods are its gonna run Zelda the same as wii u.
I fucking hope not. It made more sense with Twilight Princess because the Gamecube and the Wii were so damn close in terms of computing power, but with the Switch being (hopefully) quite a bit more powerful than the Wii U, I feel like that would just be holding the game back.
What I must say, though, is that if it IS going to be multiplat AND the Switch is significantly more powerful, they really couldn't have chosen a better art style to bridge the systems. That shit will look nice on the Wii U and probably look perfectly natural on a more powerful system with more smoke and mirrors.

I won't hold my breath if I were you.
That's not how a monopoly works, especially in the day of digital releases. Sony could easily, INCREDIBLY easily release some sort of aced game in march to draw players away from making an impulse decision to pick up the switch.
If you want to talk about the 720p thing, every other fucking console is bragging about 4k support, nintendo is trying to brag about hitting less than 1/4 of that. That will not appeal to normies.
They want to release a handheld device in the days when every single person ever has a fucking smartphone. That won't appeal to normies outside of japan. Most of the world does not have time in their day to pull out a system to play a game, they barely have time for shitty log in and play for 3 minutes mobile games.
People are going on these rumors because nintendo won't fucking say anything to the contrary for the pure sake of seeming mysterious in the hopes it will keep people clamoring for information when most people I know don't even fucking know the switch exists, or just say "oh, yeah, I saw the video, it's weird looking" because there's no fucking games announced, no specs, no NOTHING, and 720p seems in line for nintendo's historical tendency to be a full generation behind in goals for specifications in hardware and software development.
I really do love nintendo as much as i'm shitting on them, but they're fucking building an enormous rube goldberg machine to kill the company. that's literally the whole goal of this elaborate setup. There's no other logical reason for it.
>nintendo is trying to brag about hitting less than 1/4 of that
Where
If the rumors are true, I meant to clarify. My mistake.
Even if they're aiming for 1080p, still not gonna impress normies who are now enamored by 4k tvs, when the scorpio and ps4pro both have their own methods for reaching it, though it's artificial in most regards
>Eh. Just to make it easier to reply and stuff.
Nobody cares about your opinion.
Your opinion has absolutely no merit to any of us.
>That's not how a monopoly works
Like I said, business and industry are not my forte. I don't know enough about them to have a discussion about it with you. I also don't know enough about it to know whether or not you're full of shit. All I said was that their strategy makes sense to me.
>If you want to talk about the 720p thing, every other fucking console is bragging about 4k support
Couple issues here. First of all, 720p was the rumored resolution of the TABLET itself. Not when it's connected to a TV. The same sources who claim that the tablet will be 720p are saying that Nintendo is shooting for 1080p 60 fps when stationary.
Also, when you say 4k, are you talking about rendering games in 4k, or just interface/images/video? There's a colossal difference. Even if they were saying that native 4k gaming will be a thing, I'll believe it when I see it -- They also said that 1080p gaming would be a thing, and they've only managed to get a few games running at 1080p 60 fps on the Xbox and PS4 (though the PS4 obviously has more).
>They want to release a handheld device in the days when every single person ever has a fucking smartphone.
But you can't compare the Switch to a smartphone. Not in price, not in performance, not in use. What I COULD compare it to is a 3DS, which is doing phenomenally at the moment, and has been for a long time.
>People are going on these rumors because nintendo won't fucking say anything to the contrary
I'm sure they have better things to do than to waste any of their time confirming or falsifying rumors. You can't fault them for that. I must admit, though, I don't like how quiet they're being about the whole thing. I don't have any real reason to think that the system will suck though.
>can't compare the switch to a smartphone
no, but you can compare it to a tablet which are almost never taken outside of the house for most normal people.
Just like the wii u. It's "portability" is entirely a novelty. It will NEVER be taken outside in 99.99999999999999% of purchases outside of japan.
Resolution will still be the same when connected to the TV, only upscaled. That's how HDMI works. It's been done before.
>remaster
No one said it was the remaster. How do you know they arent porting the original?
Lol ok.
You spent some 40 or so seconds of your life to tell me that you don't care about my opinion, in my own thread? Thanks, for clarifying, mr.Sup Forums spokesman. Pic related. It's you.
>you can compare it to a tablet
Actually, I don't think you can compare it to a conventional tablet either, solely because it IS a fully-functioning console. It makes sense that someone might not want to bring a full sized tablet out in the open to play some bullshit like candy crush, but you bet your sweet ass I'd be playing a modern Zelda game on it, provided the game ran smoothly, and I had some nice controls for it.
My point is that the 3DS is incredibly successful, and I don't think there's a huge difference between that and the Switch. The switch is bigger, and has vastly superior computing power. Do you really have a GOOD reason to compare it to a phone/tablet rather than a 3DS?
>No one said it was the remaster. How do you know they arent porting the original?
Oh, don't be ridiculous. We all know Skyrim has been remastered, and if ANY iteration of it is going to appear on the Switch, there's absolutely no good reason to think that Nintendo wouldn't choose the new one. I don't think anyone could be that stupid.
>normies who are now enamored by 4k tvs
>thinks 4K is an standard
please resolution is most retarded buzzword since Graphics.
you dont see a difference unless side by side, and 4K tvs are not the standard. nor native output from console, nor will be the target development output by devs for at least 5 more years.
so normies are trilled for upscale shit??? good for em
>That's how HDMI works
That's not how HDMI works, upscaling is done entirely via the monitor unless it has dedicated hardware for upscaling like the Microsoft consoles and PS4 pro have.
>Resolution will still be the same when connected to the TV, only upscaled. That's how HDMI works. It's been done before.
Ehhhh, that seems like a stretch to me. When you REALLY think about it, which thing makes more sense here?
>The Switch will downscale to 720p because the screen is 720p.
>In 2017, a modern console will ONLY be 1080p if it's upscaled.
We don't know any of the system specs, but if it has the chipsets that leak sources think it'll have, it should be sufficiently powerful enough to run native 1080p with perfectly playable framerates.
1080p on the TV and 720p on the tablet seems likely.
However, you're missing the point. The thing they're pushing isn't the resolution of their console, they're likely pushing the portability and diversity of controllers, etc, for their console. Resolution is a pissing contest fought amongst Sony/MS, Nintendo likely purposely didn't put that foot forward because it's not where they're trying to impress people.
What makes sense is it's a handheld. There's no more extra power or overclocking. Most modern ported games won't reach 720p even with a tablet spec hardware. You are worrying too much on the console aspect of it that you forget it's a bloody handheld. That's what false marketing does.
Which I don't understand. The Switch would be perfect in unifying their hardware and making it easier for software developers AND consumers in the future. Nintendo are only hurting themselves by making a separate fucking handheld when the Switch was designed from the ground up to fill both roles. Honestly the retardation on Nintendo's end is baffling.
I really don't see the issue with a portable having only 720p. It would allow for double the framerate vs 1080p and much better battery life. As for the console dock upscaling is fine for me. Most people having an issue with 720p seem to be from other consolepeons, which is rich, considering Killzone, the "PS4 will outperform PC, just look at these screenshots"-game ran at 960*1080.
That all being said, I expect the price being no higher than 200€, otherwise it's dead to me until it gets hacked.
> the Gamecube and the Wii were so damn close in terms of computing power,
Ayo, hol up.
Gonna stop you right there.
They had the same architecture, but the Wii was generally more powerful in terms of computing power.
Gamecub had a 485mhz processor
Wii had 729mhz processor.
That's a 50% increase.
Gamecube had 43Mb RAM and Wii had 88Mb.
There was an overall large increase of what they could do and the games reflected this.
>What makes sense is it's a handheld.
It's a handheld/stationary hybrid. Are you telling me that I can't have this thing hooked up to my 60" TV and play it with a regular gamepad while I sit on my couch?
>There's no more extra power or overclocking.
We don't know that for sure. See: Item 2 in my OP.
>You are worrying too much on the console aspect of it that you forget it's a bloody handheld.
Conversely, you're worrying too much about the fact that you can play it on a bus and ignoring the fact that it's not strictly mobile OR stationary. Give me -1 good reason- why you think it's ONLY a mobile console.
I completely agree with you. The thing that makes no sense about it is that the cost difference of the 3DS and the (rumored) price for the Switch will be marginal compared to the difference in power and features. Something tells me they're going to back down from the 3DS if and when the Switch takes off.
My thoughts exactly.
You're right, but I was talking about the grand scheme of things. If you make a visual graph of the computing power that all of the 8th gen consoles had and include the Gamecube, the distance between the Gamecube and Wii would be WAY smaller than the distance between the Wii and Xbox 360/PS3. My point is that the Nintendo's platform didn't look dramatically different than the generation before it, and that was NOT the case for Sony and Microsoft.
So they lied about the graphics then?
It's ok when Nintendo does it armite?
No they haven't, they've said the Switch is not a 3DS replacement, which is an entirely different statement. Just like they said the DS was not a Gameboy replacement.
It's marketing talk to not kill off sales of the 3DS just before Christmas, and is true in a sense that's it not a replacement in the traditional sense of making one better, it's something entirely new with a new brand.
>Give me -1 good reason- why you think it's ONLY a mobile console
Because Vita and Vita TV exist. They are still regarded as handhelds.
its the game, not the hardware, if it gets all standard console games, its a console
is not rocket science
Vita gets all the standard console games bro
>Because Vita and Vita TV exist. They are still regarded as handhelds.
This is bait, right?
>weeabo
>standard
More like PS4 is getting all the Vita games.
>My Japanese company is less weeb than yours!
call me when VITA get AAA games son
>What exactly is wrong with 720p
Nothing, if it really is that resolution than that's actually a pretty good pixel density, at roughly 240ppi. Not to mention, a decent compromise for the system itself such that it can have a hopefully longer battery life and be able to run more demanding games at the decreased resolution.
>Sony could easily, INCREDIBLY easily release some sort of aced game in march to draw players away from making an impulse decision to pick up the switch.
Not really. Nintendo has more star power than Sony, and the truth is that Sony is getting arrogant again. Nintendo has received great publicity lately with even the small stuff they announce. Wait until Sun and Moon is released, when SMR is released. When 2017 and Nintendo starts talking about their lineup there's nothing Sony can do to pull away that kind of attention. The Switch reveal was all over the internet.
>hopefully longer battery life
This is my top concern about the mobile aspect of the Switch. I want to think that Nintendo wouldn't be stupid enough to repeat the mistake they made with the Wii U gamepad, but then again, they were stupid to make the mistake to begin with.
I'm very excited about the idea of playing modern games on the go, though. As long as mobile controls are functional, I don't think we really have to worry about any gimmicks this time around.
>Nintendo has more star power than Sony
Maybe 15 years ago
ill go hard money you buy some sort of external battery ad on.
gamepad itself was still about 5 hours on the low light + power saving settings
I used a 1080p nexus 7 tablet for years, just recently swtched to a newer 720p tablet (granted, it is 1 inch bigger) and the difference in text clarity/image grain is actually pretty noticeable. And I'm as far from a graphics whore as it gets
I doubt the switch would have anything absurdly low, else it'd completely undermine the point of the system and it's entire unuque selling point.
This.
Nintendo aren't saying "Look at our awesome 720p screen on the go!" they're saying "Look at this functionality and seamlessness!". It may not be a gimmick I necessarily give a fuck about, but saying that Nintendo are likely to be "bragging" about their 720p screen doesn't make sense when they didn't even mention that in their initial hype trailer, whereas Sony did with the PS4K
You haven't been keeping up with the news lately.
The 3DS launched with 3 hour battery life (at times 2 with the 3D effect on) and the games looked like trash. If Nintendo get 3 hours of battery out of console quality games like they did with the WiiU gamepad, I'm fine with that.
The battery life will be fucking shit. 2 hrs max, I guarantee it. 3rd party devs will not make games for this either.
Security will be cracked on this console faster than anything before too. Piracy will be rampant.
This will be the last nintendo system. It will be nintendo's dreamcast.
>gamepad itself was still about 5 hours on the low light + power saving settings
There are no low light/power saving settings on the WiiU gamepad.
Oh and nintendo will still continue to absolutely not get online play. They will fuck up basic shit like device independent licenses and voice chat. Shit that has been standard for over a decade. They will also re-release the same tired virtual console games for $10 bucks a pop. Again.
>ill go hard money you buy some sort of external battery ad on.
I really doubt they'd do that. You and I both know that the entire community would be in an uproar over it if you had to pay extra to have reasonable battery life. I really, really hope you're wrong!
>gamepad itself was still about 5 hours on the low light + power saving settings
Power saving settings? wat?
It's certainly noticeable, but I can't be bothered to care about pixel density on a small screen if I'm actually able to play all of my games the same way whether I'm in my living room or out of the house (or taking a shit).
Truth be told, I even thought the Wii U gamepad was fine. The screen wasn't bright and the image wasn't very sharp, but it certainly looked fine enough for off-screen options/menus and playing games when the TV was in use. I'd have DEFINITELY taken it everywhere I went if I were able to play Wii U games like normal.
>There are no low light/power saving settings on the WiiU gamepad.
Technically it DID have like 5 or so brightness settings. But I have no idea what he means by power saving settings. There IS an option to black out the screen, but pressing any button/touching the screen would turn the display back on, so the only reason you'd ever use that is if you didn't want an annoying light in your face while you played with the pro controller in a dark room.
I don't understand why so many people care about voie chat; I always turn it off when playing on consoles as there's too many kids and obnoxious teens on there with shit-quality mics.
The rest of the industry is moving towards VR and full body gaming and nintendo is doing a 180 and going the opposite direction with a device that is neither a handheld nor a living room console but somewhere in between which noone wants. It wont have good enough battery life or be portable enough for handheld gaming and it wont be powerful enough for living room gaming.
Its doa.
The gamepad has a power saving toggle, though I don't know specifically what that adjusts. There's also the 6 brightness settings, as mentioned.
VR is a gimmick.
PSVR outsold OR to date and it's only sold 130k worldwide. If OR in how many years sold less than 130k, then that's fucking pathetic. PSVR selling 130k on a 45 MILLION install base is extremely alarming.
>this will fail because i say it will!
>am i cynical yet?
>The gamepad has a power saving toggle
Where? This is honestly the first I'm hearing of it, other than the one that just turns off the screen for games you don't need it on.
Really low resolution for 6 inches.
>patent
Because it's a patent.
I think VR is a generation too early. Consoles are already struggling to hit 1080p60fps with the high graphical demands of modern vidya. I think in a couple generations 4k will be the mainstay whilst VR fizzles out in a fashion similar to motion controls - it's there as an optional extra, but little more.
VR is not a gimmck. VR is the future. In ten years people will consider non-vr gaming the same way we think of playing games in 240p.
I'm going to screencap this and come back to it in a few years when VR has died.
>The rest of the industry is moving towards VR

Nice try, shitlord.
Please screencap it so it you can consume a bag of stinking dicks in a few years in the homosexual VR game of your dreams.
> 720p -strictly for the mobile aspect-
Pfff you actually think the NS will render the majority of games at 1080p while docked? Please.
just like WiiU's "EVERY GAME IS 1080p!!" meme that actually happened only a handful of times, most NS games - the vast majority of them - will render at 720p, FEW at 900p and RARELY at 1080p.
God damn delusional fanboys

I'm literally playing XCX right now between posts
As I said, I'm not sure what it technically does when turned on; I don't see any differences but with it set on and the brightness at like 2 the gamepad can last 5 hours (when playing XCX); but brightness 2 is barely visible unless you're sat in a dimly-lit room or dark area.
The specs are nowhere even close to do anything vr related. It's a tegra chip. Its like a goddamn cell phone.
Enjoy playing super mario farmville for 50 minutes before the battery dies.
Where the fuck is this menu and why has no one ever told me about it?
>have basically an ouya v.2
>advertise it by showing it running AAA games
Even you now expect it to somehow run demanding games, how is this not false advertisement you fuckboy?
Yeah I'm sure this console accessory will be the future of gaming, unlike the previous ten gimmicks lol
Press the home button, then under "Wii U gamepad" select "Settings". You probably didn't hear of it as most prefer playing at full brightness (mysef included); it's still handy for squeezing out extra playtime, though.
This is gamechanging if it does a little extra battery life. I've got a high capacity battery that gives me 8 hours and it's still mega inconvenient that I have to keep the fucker docked.
>Baseless speculation
Ah, so you're trolling! Well you got me, friend. Here's your (You)
Nothing. Problem is it's going to be 720p on TV too.
Source
You sure you don't mean its the other way around? LAst I heard even Gravity D went to PS4. BAKA senpai
Well the default battery (which I have; I didn't bother upgrading it as I have spare sockets for the charger when I need it) that I have can't even hit 3 hours when playing something colourful/bright like XCX - this trick can make quite a difference. I use it when I play in a comfy bed, as there I don't want a really bright screen anyway.
No, they confirmed it is a tegra cpu and some custom gimped nvidia chip for a gpu.
>What exactly is wrong with 720p -strictly for the mobile aspect-?
I don't know OP, have you ever used any phone over 5 inches with 1080p? I have the Oneplus3 which is 5.5 and 1080p and believe me higher res phones like the Galaxy S7E or the Axon7 with the same size look NOTICEABLY better.
720p on 6.2 inches in 2017 is dogshit. It will look pixelated like a 3DS XL.
>Also, why have all the big reporters completely ignored the "supplemental computing device" patent that was filed along with all of the other patents that gave us our initial understanding of the NX?
Mostly because the "supplemental computing device" will only be used for upscaling and audio duty when outputting to an external monitor. Nintendo is really not the company that will give two different experiences to their consumers, especially when one optional accessory will give the best experience. That's just not going to happen. You'll have the same experience in mobile modie and in docked mode.
Holy shit. I stand corrected, sir. Thanks for showing us. That must be fairly new.
Common sense. The dock is just a dock. There no extra processing power from it. Nintendo already said the console in its entirety is the tablet and that all the dock does is supply power and give HDMI out.
So how's it like? Calling out Nintendo's doom since the early 90s?
I haven't been doing that. But they have been on a decline since they released the wii u. And this console is not what they need to return to glory. They are proper done now. In four years they will be making xbox and iphone games.
