Nintendo Switch Details From Insider Reports, Trailer Analyses, and Even Nintendo

After last Thursday’s announcement, the internet has been going bonkers over any and all information they can scrape up on the Nintendo NX, now revealed as the Nintendo Switch. As the glamour of the new handheld portable console starts to fizzle out, questions and skepticism about the new device begin to surface. Things like battery life, cost, power, move controls, screen resolution, etc.

No headphone port on pro controller, oh nintendo I hope this does not mean you are not adopting industry standards when it comes to online communication...smh

The reveal was so cool and exciting, but as everything is slowly revealed for Switch the more disappointed I am. There better be new games revealed before launch, the Wii u has had a weak lineup since the year smash was released and all they have to offer are Wii U ports you have to repurchase, like come on that would be ridiculous

ChouDa2732d ago

That's exactly what I was thinking too. If I have to repurchase all the digital downloads for my Nintendo Switch... Well... I'll probably still get it.

The one thing that irks me the most is the battery life. 3 HOURS?!?!?!??! HOW DO YOU THINK THAT'S OKAY?!

LAWSON722732d ago

Do not reach conclusions before the specs are officially released. I seriously doubt it will have 3 hr battery life.

NotoriousWhiz2732d ago

The 3ds gets about 4 hours when playing 3ds retail games. When playing smaller eshop games or DS games, it can get about 8 hours.

BrandanT2732d ago

A lot of electronics get that amount of time for constant use. Three hours of constant use, is like 12 hours if you use it at intervals.

LemyAtom2732d ago

I'm pretty sure my PS4 controller only gets that much and it doesn't have a screen haha.

The Vita managed 3 1/2 hours on top games. Remember you are looking at worst case scenario with battery life. If you're playing on a train or bus reducing the screen brightness has a pretty big impact.

Why put it on something that's still not the final product? I'm sure it'll have one before release.

LAWSON722732d ago

Because that device should simply be an identical dummy device of a final design expected out in less than 6 months. Why put a sd card slot? It is no more a necessity than an aux port. Trust me I want to believe but Nintendo is making it quite difficult.

iplay1up22732d ago

Uh, have you been hiding your head in the sand? It is a little thing called Bluetooth! Even Iphone is ditching wires!!!! Derp!!!!!

LAWSON722732d ago

Sarcasm, oh I hope so...

wonderfulmonkeyman2732d ago

FYI, Turtle Beach sells wireless headphones, complete with mic, that work perfectly by plugging into the USB of the Wii U.
Maybe the Switch can do something similar and still get voice chat, too?

Nintendo seemed more content with selling the concept rather than the product. Rather than give us all the important details now or as soon as possible, they're procrastinating until the last minute by a mere two months before launch.

LAWSON722732d ago (Edited 2732d ago )

I dont get it Nintendo is all about the software and introducing new ways to experience that software through their new hardware, why not lead with that instead of show a unrevealing trailer that plans to leave us clueless until next year.

They like to say how important software is for a consoles success, yet they plan on waiting a couple months until release to share any of that software with anyone. Give people something to get hyped for rather than show them at the last second and hope they are interested. IMO leading with a smoke and mirrors reveal that does nothing besides show a design and concept is not the best idea 6 months from launch

Until they tell me everything about it I'm not buying it. I don't go in blindly to purchases. I would love specs.

wonderfulmonkeyman2732d ago (Edited 2732d ago )

If tne PS2 proved anything, it's that specs aren't everything.
I'm more concerned with whether or not the online multiplayer will still be free.
That detail could determine whether i get it at launch, or 2-3 years down the road.

There's a reason they're called 'gods' and not 'regular people'. It's nice they've diversified even more but gods looking godly wasn't exactly a glaring issue with the first game.

Juancho512h ago

Hey! Gods suffer from obesity and diabetes too!

This is the dumbest article I've read in a long time.

Michiel19891h ago

No one had an issue with that besides a very select group of people that try to push their own agenda.

Crows901h ago

Exactly. Not even sure they're necessarily committing to body diversity either.

The designs look fine not stupid.

Inverno44m ago

The writer of the this article clearly doesn't know what a real god looks like and has never seen them /s

Tody_ZA18m ago

Thanks for bringing up a bunch of garbage thoughts that never crossed my mind when playing the first game because I was too busy playing the game to worry about the portrayal of the physical bodies of gods.

Foolish me, when I read the title I thought we were talking about game mechanics.

Piss off, honestly, with this asinine bottom of the barrel try-hard-to-be-relevant trash.
