I don't understand why the Switch is only slightly more powerful than the Wii U. I get it in portable mode. Its a small device and asking it to run 2017 games means it has to be watered down. But for the home console part there is no excuse. Doom had to be stripped down to nothing to make it work

>Doom had to be stripped down to nothing to make it work
The extent of the downgrades was they lowered textures and scaled back lighting. You fuckers act like they cut out whole levels and changed the models

There's a big battery in an already small space.
If anything you should be surprised that it's on par with the Wii U.

It went from 60fps locked to 20-30 fps. That's huge nintendodrone

How much more powerful is Switch to Wii U?

you have no idea how the dock works, do you

It's more powerful in the sense that the tablet is the console. So there has to be more advanced technology to be able to run Wii U esqe games on something that small.

Where it fails at is being a home console. In that aspect it can barely outperform the Wii u. The dock should have been used as something to boost the Switch rather than just being a empty box that only houses an out

I don't want a compromised experience when in handheld mode

Yeah it's an empty box with an out. It should have been more. Should have been something to make the Switch more powerful when docked. And I don't mean just allowing more battery power consumption

literally nothing

>Should have been something to make the Switch more powerful when docked

it does

>something is literally nothing

In pseudo-legitimate FLOPS: Wii U is somewhere around 350 gigaflops, Switch is a full teraflop.

I'm sorry to hear that. Adult life is full of compromises, friend.

It allows it to use more battery. Which isn't what I mean. Faggot. The dock is a worthless box for casuals to feel like they have a home console

It overclocks the CPU or something? I don't own a switch.

1. It already is
2. Tv mode is compromised when it doesn't have to be

>all his mobile devices charge on messy USB cables strewn all over his desk
>no docks, no wireless charge pads

You have nothing to contribute to our discussion, you fucking animal.

yeah, so why did you make this thread kiddo?

Based slopes!

>d-doesn't count!!!

lmao

yeah man they should a just put two 1080s in it then it would have been even more powerful than the xbonex am I right

>Switch is only slightly more powerful than the Wii U
one of the worst baits I've ever seen

I don't understand this complaint.

What exactly do you want? A giant fucking PCB in the dock? Would that somehow make it more legitimate?

The plastic part is so large because it holds the switch.

Lol no.

1.connects to tv
2.allows more battery power than is limited in handheld mode.

That's it. Empty box

>60GB game is now 6GB
really makes you think

Is Nintendo out of touch?

Why is Nintendo selling the dock for 90 dollars?

>visible fingerprints on the gamepad
Why

>caring about fps

>Switch: 1TF
>Xbone: 1.4TF
>PS4: 1.8TF

my god.

Because it's a business made to make money. They aren't the friendly gamer that just cares about video games like loyal consumers think.

They don't give a fuck about mario or your sad nostalgia. They care about money. As they should.

>It allows it to use more battery. Which isn't what I mean. Faggot. The dock is a worthless box for casuals to feel like they have a home console

And you're a goddamn idiot. It doesn't allow it to use more battery. It allows it to charge the battery and run off the house current. Running off the house current means it can run at a higher clockspeed and run more active cooling. Which means the Switch is, in fact, more powerful when docked.

t. someone who clearly doesn't understand how computers operate and are put together

For real. Just give it a quick wipe with your shirt. I do this every time I use mine and it never gets grody.

Because it is glossy.

>This thread

As Switch owner I have to say that nintenbros are literally retarded.

I thought this was common knowledge, but this thread has really surprised me.

You people are very dumb. Stop talking and go read something.

Get a load of this fucking retard

This is anti-Nintendo posters everyone, drooling, technologically illiterate know nothing man children.

Thw Switch is not nearly 1 TFLOPS, it's closer to 500 GFLOPS.

The Switch is a 2017 release. The Xbox one x is a 2017 release. The ps4 is a 2017 release
>>Switch: 1TF
>>Xbone: 6TF
>>PS4: 4TF

Stop cherry picking comparing a 2013 release with a 2017

So you're saying the Xbox one X is the best console ever?

>cut down the fps
>HOLY SHIT ITS NOTHING LIKE THE ORIGINAL REEEE

Fuck you underaged faggot. You know nothing.

>M-MUH P-POWER

Is there anything more casual? Sonybros are starting to sound like pathetic Xbetas

You mean the entire last generation where the entire Nintendo fanbase was mocking Sony and Microsoft for not being able to maintain 60fps on their games?

This is why I hate the modern fanbase and the marketers Nintendo employ. You will literally BACKPEDAL on ANYTHING. DLC? Backpedal'd and damage controlled, paid online? Backpedalled to FUCK and damage controlled ENDLESSLY.

Now this to make up for the FACT that Nintendo CANNOT get away with underpowering their hardware anymore. And whats the damage control for this? Calling it a handheld despite the fact that Nintendo THEMSELVES called it a portable home console?

Fuck this fanbase. I'm so glad I left Nintendo behind. Call me a false flagger now because you cant possibly refute.

>Xbone: 6TF
>PS4: 4TF

oh, you mean those half-step consoles you don't own and won't buy and will rage about in another thread?

They are more like Somegas.

Take your meds you fucking schizo lmao

You're comparing consoles that started at $500 at release to a $300 handheld.

Just sayin

the duck has gone nuclear
although he speaks the truth

Whatever you say fagboy.

I wasn't aware Nintendo made Doom on switch

>You mean the entire last generation where the entire Nintendo fanbase was mocking Sony and Microsoft for not being able to maintain 60fps on their games?

I'm sorry, I didn't realize DOOM was a Nintendo exclusive.

Congratulations, you are truly above them all both morally and intellectually! I bow to thee and tip my hat, good sir.

if you care about graphics that much then you're better off playing cinematic experiences instead of actual games

Nobody is fucking buying the pro or the X

>20-30 fps
It only drops below 30 FPS when you're playing arcade mode on the hardest difficulty when there's tons of shit on screen.

> Its a small device and asking it to run 2017 games means it has to be watered down. But for the home console part there is no excuse

How are you so retarded to basically come up with the excuse before saying there is no excuse

Jesus Christ the switch is about 1/10 the size of a PS4 or Xbone. Calling it a home console doesn't change that.

I would rather it be $400 and be a stronger product.


I don't remember how much I paid for consoles. I remember the experience I have with it. The old saying you get what you pay for.

I'd pay 100 dollars more for an extra teraflop 8gb memory rather than 4 and another 100mhz crammed in there.

Of all the things they could have done
>Extra memory and then you decide which games you can carry
>Fans, to allow all the other components to work at a more intense pace
>An extra GPU or CPU or both

>tfw bought a pro
>only because i got vr and it was shit without it

only mild regrets cause vr is truly fun

Nobody would buy a handheld for 400 bucks

Depends where you live I guess. I think ps4 and xboxone were around 400-450€ at launch here and switch was like 380€ or so.

...

The plastic box is there to protect the screen and make sure the Switch doesn't move you fucking retard.

>It only drops below 30 FPS when you're playing the game

>Just throw money at it to make it stronger
Sup Forums 2017

>he still thinks the dock does anything

Good post

Externally HDD support can be patched in. PS4 just added that this year for example.

An extra fan could have been cool but more CPU/GPU power is probably insanely technical. Does such a thing even exist? A separate pluggable and detachable power boost component?

Shut up, Dylan.

The Switch is like 700 dollars after you buy two games and a controller

Nigger that's not what he said.

>two games and a controller
>$400

>A thing costs more money when you buy more things for it

Holy shit!

A PS4 costs $10,000 when you buy 100 games for it woooooooooow

>you know nothing because i said so

Get a job. Also nice math lmao

>Sup Forums is one person
Every time

>>Extra memory and then you decide which games you can carry

We call that an SD card, which is cheaper than the added cost of the same amount of additional on board memory would be.


>>Fans, to allow all the other components to work at a more intense pace

It has a fan you mong.

>>An extra GPU or CPU or both

WHERE!?

Let's be honest. There is no excuse for Nintendo to make another console without using multiple die-shrunken Nvidia chips with parallel processing (SLI) capabilities to bump up the power. This is what the dock was originally SUPPOSED to do, and it was supposed to have proper cooling to compensate.

I will individually battle their fucking CEO's, samurai style, if they do not keep this platform going with backwards compatibility for as long as profits are possible.

mfw

where the fuck do you live that tax tacks on another $200?

No but most Nintenchildren are. The modern day Nintendo fanbase is completely buttfuck delusional and will copypaste any damage control that works in their brain even if its been disproven. So you gotta go balls deep like I did to stop their delusion, so they dont have any recourse left but to resort to petty adhominems like most of the replies to my post.

Oh wait, you mean a fan in the DOCK. In which case I agree, that'd be nice. Though the dock improves the Switch's active cooling as is by pushing additional power to the fan.

>Does such a thing even exist? A separate pluggable and detachable power boost component?
Yes, is being right now, works through the Thunderbolt 3 port.

There's been few. n64 had that memory boost thing then there were sega 32x and cd. i think neo geo had something similar as well

>Doom had to be stripped down to nothing to make it work
Its the entire game minus the map editor. Thats all thats missing you desperate shitposting fuck.

Do you think maybe you're taking this too seriously? You just typed that out like you're a general waging war or some shit, why are you so personally impacted by this?

There's more of a leap between WiiU and Switch than GC to Wii so there's that

Where do you live where you haven't learned what hyperbole and exaggeration are? Haven't got that far in English yet bud?

Have sex
Take a shower
Hit the weights
Gain height

STOP MAKING NINTENDO LOOK BAD RIGHT FUCKING NOW!

>It went from 60fps locked to 20-30 fps. That's huge nintendodrone
It also went from stationary to getting played literally anywhere.

It's almost like it's running on completely different conceptual systems. What's your point? Or is it just a case of you being mad at Nintendo?

It amazes me that people even think nintendo COULD go bankrupt in the first place.
>other companies have been doing this for years with no troubles
>but we have to make sure to support nintendo in doing it extra hard cause we know they might fuck it up!
Is how I read that

The Switch is weak because Nintendo wanted Switch exclusives to be cheaper to produce than PS4 exclusives as an incentive to publishers..

>go read something
>spent the last 7 years reading Sup Forums
what did he mean by this

>Starts at $450 and goes to $700+

Gee why did Nintendo not put this in the switch dock?!

>make games cheaper to produce
>decide to sell them on cartridges (noticeably more expensive that disc)
>and fuck recycled plastic that shits way to cheap to use!
Yeah real brilliant

This kind of creative absurdity deserves an applause.

RIP
