>>57159182

don't make this like /v/ is right now

What does nintendo have to do with it?

VERY interesting, and it looks well thought out. I love that they're focusing on local multiplayer and on-the-go gaming, nobody does that better than Nintendo. They're finally playing to their strengths.

I have to admit - this is very creative and innovative. It intrigues me more than VR headsets.

Nintendo has more COURAGE than 1000 Apple prodcuts.

Look how fast ARM is advancing, Intel is literally on suicide watch.

>>57159337
How is this any different from that fail aborted shit cube we called OUYA?

It's a Tegra 2 tablet that docks to your TV.

Look at that framerate in Zelda...

Skyrim stuff was obviously shoped in. Also who in their right mind would play a almost 10 year old game with no mods?

Honestly. It feels like this is dead before it arrives. Take Vita for example it's battery is dead in 3~4 hours with real 3D games.

How long will this last? 2? 3?

Isn't it going to literally melt in that shitty dock?

>>57159990
Yeah look at ARM being cable of 2008 Intel performance in 2017 go ARM go!

>>57160017
It has nintendo brand on it and autistic manchildren will buy it.

That thing looks so plastic-i and cheap. The controllers are too small and have you seen those poor quality textures on zelda.

Lmao @ nintendosexuals.

>>57159986
How is this innovative? It's Wii U with detachable controllers. Are you retarded?

>>57160017
This will have games.

>>57160044
It'll have a 5 year old game (skyrim).

This is yet another shitty nintendo console generation.

> muh detachable console

>> LAN parties are dead

>>57160028
>>57160044
Wii U had games it had games honestly better then the PS4 and Xbone.

Did it sell? No.

PC is by far the king of games these days. Because it's literally a huge console since consoles decided lol x86.

It's going to sell yeah to nintendos fanboys but so did the 3DS...

This is nothing more then a bigger Vita literally.

And so far I haven't anyone seen touching that big screen of theirs? Is it even a touch screen?

>>57160069
Glad I'm not the only one who thinks this console is fucking retarded

>>57160069
prob saving touch screen for switch 2

>>57159337
Now THIS is literally /v/.
Get the fuck out.

>>57160069
Vita had pretty good hardware on release except the memory cards.

>>57159986
>console and pc brand war cancer in one post
im actually impressed good job anon

the screen is 720p
it is unknown if its actually a touch screen or not
either the handheld itself or the dock has active cooling, and its noisy
reported MSRP is $399

>>57160164
Well it was a Quad Core CPU with a Quad Core GPU.

It was okay.

This thing is maybe twice as strong as the Vita.

I don't know if you played the Vita but Ratchet and Clank on it are way inferior to even the PS3 one.

At best this console will be PS3 strength. So basically it's going to struggle with 1080p and most games will be some aborted 720p resolution to give 60 fps.

Now this would be very admirable were it a new portable console from Nintendo.

But this is supposed to be their HOME CONSOLE that has a mobile gimmick.

>>57160210
It's probably not a touch screen. They would have been way over that function if it was.

The trailer didn't show a single touch gesture or anything.

I'm guessing it would also make development split since you'd have to design games for the "mobile" part.

400$ is a steep price if you ask me...

It looks like a 200$ toy to me.

>>57160210
Anything higher than $250 and it's dead on arrival.

>>57160230
if it were dual purpose, say it also worked like an android tablet then I'd be all over this thing for $400

but I don't see that happening, not now at least

>>57160017
>Also who in their right mind would play a almost 10 year old game with no mods?
troll spotted

>>57160211
Some games on PS3 are 720p

The same games on Tegra X1 are 1080p

It's more powerful than last gen

>>57160271
I'm sorry but if you haven't played Skyrim until 2017 you're centrally not gonna start now on a 720p screen with 30 fps.

>>57160259
>>57160230
Xbone was $499
PS4 was $399

Switch price is fine

This is the next Note 7, it's gonna bomb hard

Bye Nintendo, won't miss you yakuza cunts

>>57160311
It's literally a Vita 2 that connects to your TV via Dock.

And it's questionable if it has a touchscreen...

I'm sorry but how is it worth it? It's not even Android.

And remmeber Nintendo never sells at a loss. So you're literally getting a sub 200$ product for 400$

>>57160298
Nintendo toddlers will.

I predict this thing will get a few multiplats at first then be dead with only Nintendo and first-parties releasing games on it within a year.

>>57160043
Still better than all the vr crap.

>>57160336
Wii U was $350

It's a more powerfull WiiU that you can take anywhere

Switch price is fine

where's the d pad?

>>57159337

>>57159337
Even if the battery lasts 24 hours solid, this is will be a massive failure

>>57160386
moving diagonally is too much for millennials to handle I guess

I can guarantee all these detachable parts will break after a few uses because Nintendo uses cheap plastic for everything they make.

>>57159337
but does it connect to steam?
I'm not wasting money just to play skyrim on a handheld if I have to buy my games again

>be nvidia
>most expensive graphics cards of all time

uh, okay? congratulations Nvidia.

It's just what happens
Nintendo has a history of just being a massive fuckup
Please just partner with Sony already, it was meant to be

>>57160426
Of course it doesn't connect to Steam

Nintendo has always made you rebuy the same games when new console comes out.

The majority of their new releases are remasters at this point. Mario Maker wasn't even a game.

>>57160431
Someone (Not AMD) needs to take down Nvidia and get rid of this fucking monopoly they have

>>57160043
>Wii U with detachable controllers

Then you don't know shot about the WiiU. It wasn't a standalone you could take with you anywhere, the WiiU is a console seperate to the WiiU tablet controller.

>>57160488
It might have an X2

>>57160386

On the other controller you can buy for it.

I think it's a smart idea. Phone and tablet gaming has taken off and probably taken a lot of Nintendo's market share. I've generally been disappointed with the depth and controls for mobile gaming, so having full console gaming on the go seems like a good idea with the added benefit of being able to use it at home on a big screen. There's things out there like the NVIDIA Shield, but the games and controls aren't there for me yet. This is something I can see using to play games with my son when he's a little older.

>>57160524
My problem is, X1 was used only in stationary station while K1 was used in handheld.

>>57160603
Whoops of course I made a fool out of myself and thought that 360 and PS3 were x86.

THANK YOU BASED NVIDIA

>>57160614
The concept is good, but nobody is going to use those tiny ass controllers.

>>57160993
The concept is shit.
People dont want 2in1 devices and in most cases only use it as one or the other.
They failed in the past and this will just be another failed 2in1 device.

>>57160860
The new slim PS4 uses around 85W under load and the Xbone S even less. That's less than one Intel housefire desktop CPU, and another reason why PC gaming is only for basement-dwelling manchildren who don't pay their own electricity bill.

Maybe this will fill the hole in my heart that the Sega Nomad(or NeoGeoX) left so many years ago.

Seriously my gba, n64, GameCube, original ds, and original gameboy all still function as well today as when I got them

>>57160506
The WiiU was actually far more innovative because of that with its low latency streaming. It did this far before things like the Steam Link.

This is literally just a fat Tablet with controller support and a dock. I don't know how people are seeing this as being so innovative. It's a new direction for consoles sure, but it isn't innovative.

For focus sake, make it 720p at fucking least. Nintendo always trying to compete with stuff other companies already had in the market for 3 or 4 years.

>>57162067

>>57162029
MPC-HC's web UI had player UI streaming for years.

>>57161828
this is so true
meanswhile every xbox, every playstation broke/died, the 360 and ps2 broke multiple times for a multitude of reasons
who would've thought chinkshit beats merican when it comes to build quality.

>>57162091
Can you read? The main factor for gaming is latency. Of course streaming existed. It was latency and artifact filled however. So unless you want to tell me people were using the same protocol for gaming at low latency (no one was) then just stop posting.

I can say the same to you :^)

I suspected for long time that only nintendo makes meaningful things about gaming. Or gives a meaning to ""gaming"". I don't play computer games but I will probably get this because it looks like a good way to pass time.

I like it, and might even buy it. Too kool for skool faggots can whine about the resolution all they want.

They're going to release this shitty version to their fanboys so they can sell an improved one later with better screen and plastic and controllers.

>>57159337
strange... I recall some guy suggesting something like that to put the cellphone a few months ago...

it's going to have to be a pascal based tegra, and the games are going to have to be vulkan

What do you guys think the specs are? I am afraid it's gonna be under powered for the current generation.

Does nobody want to install Linux on this?

>>57162998
oh it will be, but it's going to have a fan so it'll be around shield TV performance, maybe a little less, as it's going to be portable.
although considering the WiiU was underpowered compared to the XB1 and PS4, it did at least run at 1080p60

>>57160336
I would actually pay at least $100 more simply because it's not running android.

>>57163026
>shield TV
Fuck... Terrible. Has to be better than that.

>>57163049
unless the dock has an extra GPU it'll be pretty bad, although i'm going by the size of the main screen unit, the size of the air vent, and the obvious battery limitations, at most it'd struggle to cool 15W while sounding like a jet engine.

>>57162998
Pretty sure it's guarantee with it being mobile and the need to keep costs down.

>>57163083
Yea it's gonna have an external GPU, has to.

pricing should be
$150-175 for main unit and controllers
$150-200 for main dock if it has an extra GPU
$50-100 for dock without an extra GPU
$50 for pro controller
$25-30 for the controller dock.

>>57163121
$400 for the console that includes the dock, it does not include external GPU, there is no external GPU, that would be retarded.

>>57163097
No it won't. That defeats the whole purpose of using a Tegra and would add to cost.

>>57161920
>It's a new direction for consoles sure, but it isn't innovative.
Are you retarded? Do you understand the English language?

>>57163160
How does that defeat the purpose you fucking retard?

>>57163150
$400 is steep for how under powered it is, as it's $300 for the XB1S and PS4S.

>>57163166
Marketing existing tech to a new demographic is somehow innovative?

>>57163160
it could have a tegra in the main unit, and an extra in the dock.

>>57163187
The Tegra they're using is expensive as it is and Nvidia has been marketing it as being a GPU replacement

>>57163207
And what? SLI them? Nvidia has been stepping away from that if anything. Again, adding to cost for what gains if it's just a beefier Tegra.

>>57163223
it's meant to be a custom SoC so it could be be in series, as nvidia have done it for their PX2 car system

>>57163193
Can you take those on the go though?

>>57163223
>Tegra
>Expensive
OK, sure thing bud. The screen isn't 1080p when most of there games should be hitting that when docked. What does that mean smart ass? The dock is gonna give it extra horsepower.

>>57163253
no but you can't do it with the shield TV which it'll based on.

>>57163207
no, there are no additional processors in the dock, it's for charging and providing hdmi

>>57163259
>The dock is gonna give it extra horsepower.

The dock will give it house power, it will scale down for battery life if anything. Possibly better cooling.

>>57163286
lol

>>57163282
until it gets taken apart or released no one will know so it COULD do.

>>57163250
The compute tasks they're doing with cars is far more easily scalable than with games is why. Nvidia still supports multi-gpu for compute.

>>57159337
What a total piece of trash. I don't play games, so it doesn't really matter to me, but if this is the sort of crap that "gamers" are getting hyped up over, they're worse lemmings than Apple zombies.

>>57163299
I'm laughing at you thinking they're going to waste money adding a second GPU to this thing. They aren't going to sacrifice affordability for some minor performance gains.

>>57163300
http://ca.ign.com/articles/2016/10/20/nintendo-confirms-amiibo-support-for-nintendo-switch-clarifies-additional-features

The main unit of Nintendo Switch is the unit that has the LCD screen, which the two Joy-Con controllers can be attached to and detached from. The main function of the Nintendo Switch Dock is to provide an output to the TV, as well as charging and providing power to the system."

That doesn't matter for the masses. Casual phone games far out populate these AAA titles that warrant higher end hardware. Nintendo is going all out on mobile for this reason.

>>57163097
I'm 99% sure the dock is just video output for the TV and a charging station. A gpu docking station would be bigger and add at least $200 to the cost.
In the 1% chance that it has a gpu (It doesn't), there is no way nintendo can sell that for less than $500.

>>57163694
Also the D-pad

>>57163737

No, everything you are saying is speculation.

>>57163760
you are in denial if you expect it to be more than the rumored specs, if anything, it would be worse based on how nintendo rumors usually evolve.

>>57163760
Did you even read that link? You honestly think they would leave out that the dock has a second gpu and just say it does output? Also there's the dev kit leak that shows no indication of a second unit or GPU.

>especially if it's gonna be running at 1080p 60 FPS.

Has no indication of anything. PS4 was supposed to be a 1080p60 console and look how that turned out. WiiU had titles that were 1080p60 but they were pretty much only 1st party titles.

if i dont plan on moving away from my screen often, then this whole switch gimmick is useless right

>>57163935
Pretty much but this isn't meant for neckbeards that don't leave their house.

Eh. If they manage to keep Monster Hunter exclusivity and if the Pokemon Company is cool with ditching the 3DS, this'll be an instant sell.

Not as a home console hybrid thing, but just as a very solid handheld. I'm still super worried about the battery life though.

I wonder if third parties won't bother creating a port for such shit hardware.

>>57163992
If the cooling is noisy then it has to gen a lot of heat
And I'm not sure you can pack much more than 6 Amps inside of a 1.5cm thick 6inch """Phablet"""

>>57163974
im not a neckbeard, but as an adult, when the fuck would i even have time to pull out a giant nintendo tablet to play games?

if im not at work, im driving home.
f im not at home/work, then im out shopping or a social gathering. going to a social gathering to play solo on my tablet seems rude.

the only practical use i see for this is if i felt like moving to my coach or bed to play instead of sitting at a desk/floor.

>>57164013
It's probably less shit in a way unless Nintendo messes it up since at LEAST it seems to now use something that has a SDK and hardware someone (and some engines) can support.

That is unlike quite a lot of Nintendo consoles... and we're long past the age where people did essentially half or fully write their custom engine for any game anyhow.

>>57164079
>when the fuck would i even have time to pull out a giant nintendo tablet to play games?

Did you watch the video?

>>57163992
>Implying that they won't introduce a "portable-only" category so that they can keep the development cost of previously portable-only franchises such as pokemon low.

I had a feeling this was going to be Nvidia based. The only company I knew who was working on a hybrid at GDC was Nvidia. This explains everything.

If I'm correct, this also may be the first time Nintendo finally uses an api that everyone else uses, so they won't have to develop special Nintendo software just to port or develop games for it.

>>57164105
I don't need to watch a video to know when I need to play games "on the go".

>>57164101
this thing is weaker vs the ps4 pro than the wii-u is vs ps4

>>57164129
But I guess you do to understand not everyone lives your lifestyle

>>57164118
Yep, that should be the main advantage.

Hopefully it's finally JUST a fucking ARM with a fucking Nvidia GPU that supports some fucking OpenGL or whatever.


>>57164137
Probably, but consoles long got away with being utterly *pathetic* as compared to PC too.

I don't actually mind visually (midrange / high end) smartphone-tier games in full HD as long as they're good in terms of gameplay. Smartphone-tier is still creative freedom for game developers like a machine that can run 16 ocarina of time games in parallel or something.

>>57164144
let's analyze the video

>guy switches to go play the game elsewhere(presumably his bed)
this is fine.

>guy goes to the park to play the game
technically fine, but you wont find many adults going to parks solely to play games, especially when the battery will probably only last 4 hours.

>on airplane
i dont think the average person travels enough, or has 1~2 hour flights often enough to warrant this.

>roadtrip
if someone is kind enough to drive while i sit in the back, i sure as hell dont want to be a recluse and play games

>random gathering
i have never been to a gathering with my friends where everyone pulled out their handhelds

>tournament
kek

so basically, if you're not underage, then you're the benefit will mostly come from being able to play in your bed your on the coach.

>>57164137
That doesn't matter since Xbone and PS4 are getting support for new games for at least 3 more years. hell, game devs will probably still focus on regular PS4 and Xbone over Pro and Scorpio because of the higher install base. All the Switch has to be is on par with the Xbone.

>>57164263

I think it'll do well too. Think about how easy it is to bring to someone else's dorm room/house. Plus, you'll always have 2 (limited) controllers. At $300 it makes a lot of sense for a casual gamer who doesn't already own a WiiU or 3DS.

>>57164272
doesn't really matter since this thing is like 1/3 the performance of the xbone

That's less than they charge for their current 3DS, which has hardware even much worse than the PSP.

The base unit will be $300 at least.

Wii U didn't do anything particularly flashy, it'd be worrying if it didn't and still struggled.

>>57165869
But lets see how long it takes to go after that
Since now that 14/16nm seems to be the reasonable limit for a while, and we where on 28 for a long time

>>57166181
it aslo uses 310w of power on a fucking console

I really don't get the whole "mobile gaming" appeal. Is it just for people with long-ass commutes using public transportation or what? I can understand burning 10-15m on some timewaster mobile phone game, but as far as "proper" games go I wouldn't even want to play them in public, I'd much rather play at home in peace and quiet where I can pay proper attention to the game and get immersed. If I'm at home, I may as well play on a device that isn't extremely compromised from the start by the need to be portable.

Who the fuck is going to take this thing outside to play Skyrim? They focused the entire design, from the very base, on what seems like an entirely worthless feature, or one that is extremely situational at the very least.

>>57167104
Person with long ass commute here. Mobile can be fun, but right now the only worthwhile games are gacha idol rhythm games. I'm more interested in finally having decent games to play while I sit in the bus for 40 minutes, and Nintendo systems have always had comfy controls, so I expect them to deliver. I also play local multiplayer with friends occasionally, and it'd be great not to need to lug around a massive gaming laptop every time. For accrual immersion though, of course PCs are superior

>>57167032
But it doesn't, are you pretending to know basic stuff about the consoles? They consume way less than 200W under full load, the newer ones do less than 85W
Also, for comparison the first PS3 and 360 did consume more than 300W

>>57160371
wii u didn't sell well though

So what's stopping someone from just making a better tablet, make it run windows (like a lot of others), put that steam shit in there and just beating the fuck out of nintendo?

>>57163506
The game cube was the more powerful then the PS2, but it sold like shit. The PS3 was more powerful then the Wii, but it sold like shit. Power doesn't always mean everything and nintendo should know that more then anyone. That being said the console is slightly faster then the xbox one, but slower then the PS4 and with the arrival of the PS4 pro and Scorpio this seems like another repeat for nintendo. Mobile technology has advanced a lot, but its still no where near as good as it should be. If it was %50 more powerful then a PS4 I might pick one up for $400, but its not so I'll just wait for the price drop.

>>57167936

>>57167936

The PS3 ended up selling over 80 million units.

Sony only had a slow start with the PS3 because of its high price point and Kaz's inability to generate hype as a salesman.

It's a failure, though it could be worse

>>57167104

I'm a big fan of Nintendo handhelds and very rarely ever leave the house with them. I just really like being able to play at my dinner table or on my porch or on the deck or on the shitter or on my couch or on the bed etc etc Games like Monster Hunter are great on a handheld too because you can pick it up and play a hunt or two and set it back down.

I just really enjoy the flexibility and simplicity of a dedicated handheld console.

>>57169228
its nvidia
nvidia is great

The question is will Nintendo release pokemon here?

>>57169294

I'd be shocked if they didn't. One of the primary reasons for Nintendo making a hybrid system is that they can finally not have to split their dev time and resources between home and handheld consoles that run completely different code on completely different architectures. Now they can just focus all of their efforts on Switch which means that any and every Nintendo game for the next several years will be on it.

the wii-u is more powerful than the ps3/xbox360 was so this had better be much stronger as well.

Is Nintendo out of touch with reality? I honestly don't get it. People want streaming and let's play, they threaten lawsuits. People yell at gimmicky fucking screens, and they throw more of them at us. Why does Nintendo keep doing the opposite of what people want?

>>57169478
nah, the tegra is only slightly stronger than the wii-u because there is no memory bandwidth

>>57159337
only problem I see with the new nvidia shield and it's cool controllers is that it will only run Mario and another fucking Zelda game and that's it.

>>57169521

We don't have any information on the Switch's specs outside of it using some custom Tegra SoC so it's pretty hard to say what kind of performance to expect.

Anyone claiming to know how powerful this thing is right now is full of shit.

Typical Nintendo horseshit its a gimped turd

>>57169538
It's only going to use lpddr3/4, there is not doubt it's not going to be able to sustain the compute throughput. It's why the tegras will never be able to compete with consoles. Unless they put embedded ram on the SOC, it's going to be slow. As far as all the leaks go, it's using a tegra of some sort and nothing that custom.

Mobile gaming is for manchildren.

>>57169554

From the link in the OP:

>Nintendo Switch is powered by the performance of the custom Tegra processor. The high-efficiency scalable processor includes an NVIDIA GPU based on the same architecture as the world￢ﾀﾙs top-performing GeForce gaming graphics cards.

That's literally all that anyone not under NDA knows. The "leak" early today of the specs was a rehashed leak from months ago that is most likely bogus.

Actually Nvidia chipsets like the 1060 are "cheaper" to make than the AMD equivalent the 480.

It really depends on the size of the chip itself, more chips per wafer results in higher profit margin.
