[Nintendo Switch] Speed Test - Handheld to Console mode

GamingBoulevard tests out just how fast the Nintendo Switch can change from Console Mode to Handheld Mode and the other way around.

depends on TV, some TVs just turn off when there is no longer a signal coming from the HDMI port.

Neonridr2679d ago

the TV to tablet is near instantaneous. Going back to TV mode takes a second or two but that is usually down to the TV accepting the signal and then displaying it on the TV. Looked like 4-5 seconds tops. By the time you turn around and sit down, it's up on the TV. That works for me.

Yeah the time is nothing really. So excited to get my hands on the switch come march.

Let's hope Nintendo have a bigger success with it over the wiiu as for me I liked the wiiu and it's like the Dreamcast being underrated but the switch idea for me is what the wiiu should of been.

Again totally agree wii u is so underrated just like dreamcast lets hope switch is a success.

Ubisoft to Focus on "Return to Leadership" in Open World Genre, Expand Live Service Experiences

Ubisoft says they are focusing on two "core verticals," and that's to return as a leader in the open world genre, and live service games.

Calling Ubisoft a leader in open world gaming at any point in time would be like calling Dollar General a leader in retail.

excaliburps23h ago

Well, to be fair, they did pump out good open world games before. It was used as a template so much that people now know what it means when you say it's like an Ubi open world collectahon.

shinoff218321h ago

What though? I can't think of one game they had where I liked anything about it. Atleast since the ps3/360 Gen

Kornholic20h ago

If they have never been the leader in open world gaming, then explain me this: why does almost every open world game follow the same tired old Ubisoft open world formula?

Follow the Leader.

You were never the leader bro 🤣

shinoff21831d 8h ago (Edited 1d 8h ago )

I don't think they were ever the leader tbh. I've never really cared for any of their open world games. I do wanna try watch dogs 2 because it looks like it's set in San Fran. Looked interesting

Name someone that isn't trying to look us these days maybe cdpr.

Take two, ubi and yes even PlayStation are pushing us to own nothing and be happy with our live service ad injected games on a sub so they can raise prices at will and take access away when they see fit.

If it keeps up I'll be a full time retro gamer and this industry will be crashing hard

As rediculas as it sounds we need government reforms to defend consumer rights
