When is the Super Switch XL Lite coming out?
>what is a television
Switch was actually a good name for once, how will nintendo fuck it up? New Switch? Super Switch? Switch Blast!
Never, we'll just get a Switch with a better battery, and Dock.
When you get a job
If by XL you mean a bit bigger to fit more "specs" in it rather than a screen, then hopefully soon.
Switch XL
same hardware, smaller bezel, comes with new XL joycons that are basically full on pro controller halves
coming holiday 2018
In at least 4 years, after nvidia successfully makes a chip better than the xavier/X3 that's less power hungry and has a far better mobile CPU.
Why not a switch mini?
No screen, no battery, docked only - so pretty much just a console with the size of a steamlink you can play on tv
They won't do that. They'll either keep the specs the same and make it bigger or smaller, or they'll make it cheaper but remove features.
Switch Deluxe
Switch DS when?
Nah I'd rather have the switch mini senpai
Worst to best Nintendo home console names
Wii U
Super Nintendo
Nintendo 64
Wii
Nintendo Entertainment System
Virtual Boy
Switch
Gamecube
It's not.
It'll be a new dock that features a built in GPU.
>not the Nintendo Switcheroo
Itll come out as soon as the Switch actually gets sales
Any smaller and then any small text on the screen will be illegible.
The text in the Octopath demo is already small enough in docked mode
I feel like they could keep the same dimensions but upgrade internals so that the handheld screen displays 1080p and docked mode can do 1080p 60fps on all games, maybe reduce the bezel on the handheld screen.
I don't think they would make the whole thing bigger, and make another set of XL Joycon along the regular joycon.
Wasn't it rumoured to have a console-only version? Anyway it'll be something like Switch-UP!, slightly stronger, games that are 540p-900p get a boost to 720/1080p and a better framerate
2020 the soonest
Are you trying to imply that 14 million in its first year is bad somehow?
anything that forced you to say "nintendo" is best.
nes/snes/n64
why? because when you're playing genesis or playstation or whatever else as a kid and moms on the phone she says "oh hes playing his nintendo", the name nintendo was synonymous with "video game" at one point and nintendo lost it by not continuing to make "ultra nintendo" or "nintendo 128" etc... and instead made things that didnt have nintendo as a key aspect of the name.
why is this a problem? because ive worked in video game retail for 5 years and every mom that says "when are they gonna make a mario game for the xbox?" and i have to explain only nintendo has mario and then they say "oh...which ones nintendo?" fucking marketing suicide.
gameboy to a certain extent i think had nearly as good positive name branding but DS and Wii began to have decent recognition as well and then nintendo went full retard with 3ds/2ds i lite xl etc... confusing average consumers and then of course WiiU sounding like some kind of wii add on.
microsoft of course sucks ass with marketing as well, xbox one x...come on everyone knows thats a fucking joke. they screwed themselves already though when the 360 got called well... "the 360" and not staple name "xbox" (though i dont think they ever had the status of synonymous with video game the way the name nintendo still does).
sony is pretty good with the playstation name and then a number, people understand, but the amount of people asking me what a vista is? or getting psp and ps3 confused means someone in sonys marketing isnt too bright.
this may seem trivial but normie parents make system sales, not gamers.
keep it simple stupid should be the only aspect for marketing and yet they hire college marketing graduates and whole teams to decide this stuff and end up fucking themselves over with over thinking. "ultra/ultimate/mega/whatever nintendo" would sell a zillion systems no matter what the console itself was like.
Never. Nintendo doesn't release revisions of home consoles. The real question is when is the 4DS/true successor to 3DS going to come out.
>Nintendo doesn't release revisions of home consoles.
>What is the Top Loader
>What is the Wii Mini
i'll also add that the nintendo entertainment system was a smart move in the 80s when video games were in decline and "computers" werent in ever house hold yet and were seen as highly nerdy and complicated.
however "entertainment system" sounded great, everyone was buying vhs players and surround sound systems and walkmans and stuff it fit right in with american marketing. famicom, family computer would have been marketing poison.
at somepoint nintendo of japan either got cocky or more likely nintendo of america has no spine these days and the wii somehow didnt have a name change for the west despite bringing up odd or generally negative associations in the west (tiny,piss,weewee,more than one person?). despite this the system sold, but the name "wii" certainly didnt help at all, everyone i know made fun of the name or finds it odd.
switch is fine, but i dont think its great in fact its awkward when you start saying switch the switch and stuff but it isnt as odd or negative or confusing as wii/wiiu/2ds3ds etc... so nintndos bare minimum of making a neutral name is working wonders.
someone at noa in marketing needs to grow a pair though and make sure japan doesnt release the nintendo poopee or something next.
Thanks for the insight. Pretty interesting to read.
I hope it gets a oled screen
I'd be happy with a dock that covers the whole screen. Don't like how it juts out.
The fact that Nintendo upgrades their gaming hardware every once in a while. You are making me worried I bought the switch too early.
How the fuck would this be compatible with the dock, assuming the analog sticks are the same and it has that same little bulge under the zr and zl button? I mean It just wouldn't physically fit into the slot, and even if it did, since it's also shorter vertically it'd be difficult to pull it out again
How the hell is this thing compatible with the dock and joycons? The only way that can work is if you remove the compatibility to the dock and joycons.
>The fact that Nintendo upgrades their gaming hardware every once in a while
When? They "upgraded" the Gamecube by removing component out. They "upgraded" the Wii by removing backwards compatibility, GCN controller ports, the SD card slot, and any sort of online connectivity. The DS got a smaller version, then later got an "upgrade" that added a useless camera at the expense of the GBA slot. The 3DS got a bigger version, then a version that wasn't portable, then an actual upgrade without sarcastic quotes that only like two games used, then got another downgrade by removing the entire shtick of 3D. Oh, and of course the Wii U, whose upgrade was that it was taken out behind the barn and shot.
You mean the wii u
the next revision will be the same size but with smaller bezels and a larger screen.
They need joycons and the dock to stay compatible.
They may also improve the battery a bit if we're lucky.
The JoyCons could still pair with it. They just couldn't lock in.
I still think the design is stupid I'm just sayin'
For those worried about missing out on an "upgrade": they might do a tablet/batter power revision but unless they add processing power it won't make a significant difference to the games you play.
Switch+
Since Pro is taken Switch+ seems like the most obvious choice.
What could they do to improve this Switch+?
Use the TX2 as the base instead of a TX1 when it becomes cheaper to mass produce (aka a die shrink).
When do you expect to see this "Switch+"?
Couple of years down the line.
So 2019 or 2020?
Sure.
Switch60 (ie 60fps, even if only at 720) wouldn't be an awful name
I can't wait, That's when I will get a Switch, it should have a solid big library of games and VC for many of their consoles and handhelds by then. By that time I'll have a Switch+ or whatever Nintendo will call it and an Xbox One X.
>digital triggers
>they go put out a racing game on it anyways
