Well, perhaps because you like Nintendo's way of doing things, and their game library, and because it's the console you chose, so you're not going to go get a PS4 just to play skyrim on slightly better settings. It's clearly not for you; but for me, I can see the appeal of having one device that does more than just one…
I'd be more than happy to pay $299 for a Nintendo console that I can take with me. The specs don't matter to me as much, games like Mario Kart 8 showed that aesthetics are far more important than raw graphics power, so I don't need it to be as powerful as a PS4.
The power of the console doesn't matter too much as long as it can play ports without them being a shell of the original games, the Wii and WiiU ports were awful. That's where it's going to be interesting. Are the Xbox 1, PS4, and Switch going to get decent ports from the Xbox and PS 4k variants until there's actually a…
If it's anything like the Tegra X1, it's the full Nvidia desktop grade architecture. The K1 came out in 2014 and had the GFLOP (~350) performance of the PS3/360. The X1 came out in 2015 and was 1024 GFLOPS, to the PS4's 1800 and X1's 1300. I wouldn't be surprised if the Switch was able to put out GFLOPS 1300+ docked, and…
Nintendo's corporate messaging and marketing may claim that the edge isn't competing with the PS4, Xbox, PC, iOS devices, Android devices. However that is false, in the reality of the consumer market the Nintendo edge is competing for those very same dollars. How many people are willing to pay $299 for a handheld/console…
Am in 2 minds about the move to mobile for Nintendo. The old-school Nintendo fanboy within me is screaming "Oh hell no!" On the flip side it would hopefully give them enough of a boost in sales to catch up with the progress of the PS4/XB1, make some more solid titles and restore Nintendo to its former glory. My only…
Super excited for this. Nintendo's game support for their handhelds has always been their strong suit - the 3DS has a ton of great games, but them being restricted to the small, low res 3DS has always been a sad fact. I would've loved to have games like Phoenix Wright, Bravely Default - or the new Monster Hunter games on a…
Not sure why everyone's bent out of shape on what the specs may or may not be. We're talking about a handheld that has, at the very least, better than wii u graphics. This should excite anyone who works in games, just from the standpoint of interaction. How many titles on steam have only local multiplayer ?Towerfall…
