Nintendo Switch Official Thread

I've said this before and so has @winb83

How many people looking to buy the switch didn't own a WIIU? I'm pretty sure it's a small minority of consumers

Well seeing how Wii U never garnered this amount of excitement I'd guess there's a lot of people.

I'm one of them

I told you why there was excitement. There are no details

They need a lot more than Nintendo stans to buy this thing

And you have to factor in that a lot WIIU owners won't buy this at aluanch because they can play the best game for it on their current system which Nintendo is abandoning

Skyrim port is not making people buy a switch

I'm a Wii U owner and I'm buying it.

My brother hasn't cared about Nintendo systems since like Gamecube and he's buying it(anecdotal)


When a new console is coming out, you don't limit it to one audience. The PS4 was said to have been half of 360 owners. If you were to look at the numbers alone, you'd just say "Oh who would buy the PS4 that doesn't have one already?" apparently lots.

BOTW will be better on the switch anyway.

Nintendo Switch has a 6.2" 720p multi-touch screen

A number of sources, including those who informed me of the Switch's design and detachable controllers back in July, have all confirmed other capabilities which Nintendo is currently keeping quiet.

Let's start with the Nintendo Switch's screen. It is 6.2" in size, 720p and - for the first time in any Nintendo device - boasts a capacitive multi-touch screen.

(Both 3DS and Wii U featured resistive touchscreens, reliant on pressure and less precise. They were also single-touch only.)

WiiU - 854x480 @ 6.2 inch = 158 ppi
Vita - 960x544 @ 5 inch = 220 ppi
Switch - 1280x720 @ 6.2 inch = 236 ppi

720

Battery would last an hour if the screen was 1080.

720

it'll look fine. Hell the Wii U gamepad looked fine and that was 480. The graphics on these are far better than w/e games you can run on a phone with no controls.

Plus the 3DS screen was 240, that's a massive leap between that and the Switch's screen.

Yeah comparing them to phones is moot because phones aren't actually rendering 1080P games at the level of graphics we've seen on handhelds. It's mainly for text and videos.

There's plenty of details.

It's at least strong enough to play AAA games.

There's a traditional controller

There will be "enhanced" versions of Wii U games on it.

It's truly portable instead of being "remote play"

What details you waiting for?

every Nintendo dev moved to Switch in 2014/15

launch lineup gonna be fire (insider who got everything correct about NX said the first year of games > Wii U entire library)

 

[Wiirdo]

a 720p 6 inch tablet is way more dense pixel-wise than a 30" 4K monitor. Not a problem at all.

Hope so.
