It’s far from a Switch killer. People will always buy Nintendo based on brand loyalty and for their amazing exclusives.

indysurfn1994d ago

I agree!
"super premium" is not tech specs. They have no exclusive games they are going to have to at least have SUPER TECH! And they will still not touch SWITCH.

I feel that way with Nintendo and Sony

Kribwalker1994d ago

except when they get that switch emulator running on it. Then that thing could be wicked

spicelicka1994d ago

It would make it better than the Switch, but people still wouldn't buy it as much as the switch simply because of brand power and convenience.

2pacalypsenow1994d ago (Edited 1994d ago )

Exclusives which you can play on PC with an emulator. Js

Shiken1994d ago

One, you still have to buy the game to play it legally on an emulator...and you have to rip the game yourself.

Two, there is no Switch emulator at this point in time...JS

King_Noctis1994d ago

And you think this little thing have enough juice to fully emulate a Switch game?

Maybe you should wake up.

2pacalypsenow1994d ago

I don’t know it’s not out yet.

King_Noctis1994d ago (Edited 1994d ago )

“ I don’t know it’s not out yet.”

Why do you need to wait until it is out in order to realize that if a big desktop-sized PC struggle to emulate the Switch, then how can a tablet-sized PC like this one able to achieve that?

CosmicTurtle1993d ago

There is a Switch emulator called Yuzu.

Shiken1993d ago

@comic

Yuzu is experimental and most games either will not boot, or they run like garbage. Why even bother naming it when it runs would run worse than supporting the devs for their hard work?

Sounds like you are just looking for ways to claim you do not need a Switch to play major Switch games...but a quick google search will just out you quicker than you can type a response.

2pacalypsenow1993d ago

@Shiken

Actually majority of the switch’s mayor games are playable on the Wii U.

Shiken1990d ago (Edited 1990d ago )

@2pacalypsenow

That is false. I assure you that games like Mario Odyssey, Link's Awakening remake, Luigi's Mansion 3, Fire Emblem Three Houses, Astral Chain, Pokemon Sw/Sh, Smash Ultimate, BotW2 (coming soon), Splatoon 2, Xenonlade 2, Xenoblade Torna, etc etc etc are not playable on WiiU.

Just because the WiiU has lost its value to most of their under appreciated games getting a second chance on Switch, that does not mean that Switch is not still pumping out its own exclusives at an even greater number as well.

But like I said...downplay...and we all know you do a lot of it lol.

Dare I say... Emulation? If I own it, why can't I play it in any form I like?

Shiken1990d ago

Because there is no reliable Switch emulator at this time.

m2stech1994d ago

How about Yuzu switch emulator installed on it?

Calling it a Switch rival would be more accurate.

isarai1994d ago

"Switch Killer" lol

People buy the switch for Nintendo's exclusives, so unless they can suddenly hault Nintendo from making games it's really not even gonna affect the Switch in the least. That said the product does look dope an i'd love to get one for emulation aswell as PC games.

Bhuahahaha1994d ago

lol when someone says its a "(insert game/device) killer" it will always end in failure

Vits1994d ago

That is what I call a sensationalist title.

The UFO is not even a real product, let alone a Switch killer.... It's just a concept, one of many that Dell has brought to the CES 2020. It might eventually go into production if they find a market for it. But as many other concepts it might as well just stay a concept.
