Nyko Unveils Portable Docking Kit for Nintendo Switch

>>380311562
I don't even have a switch but
FUCKING FINALLY

>third party makes a first party product but cheaper
Who cares?

>>380311562
But my Switch already has a dock. Why would I need another one? I guess this is good if my dock somehow breaks.

>>380311716
No shit. Fuck having to pay $90 for a fucking replacement dock.

>>380311939
But it's a quality product, idiot. Nintendo made it so it's completely worth every penny of that $90. Nyko just doesn't "feel" right.

>>380311924
In case your dock breaks, if you're traveling, etc.

>>380311562
That's really a nice idea. Don't have to worry about the screen getting hit by the default dock. I've seen teardowns of what the inside of the dock looks like and there's a hell lot of wasted plastic

>>380312149
get that nintendo cock out of your ass

>>380312149
You're paying $90 for a periphiral when you could be buying a game you cuck. If Nyko makes a replacement that's works just as well, is portable, and half the price of the official version, then I'm all for it.

>>380312179
Oh and here is a link to one teardown https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxUuDh5dOus

Literally the actual circuit board is a tiny fraction of the whole thing.

>>380312149
Has there ever been a more obvious shill?

Looks a lot smaller, would be nice for when you go travelling but still want to use your Switch on the TV.

>Clip Grip Power
Clip Grip Power is an ergonomic attachment that allows users to mount their cell phone to easily interact with the Nintendo Online App while playing. Clip Grip Power also includes an internal battery, which gives users extra play time by serving as a versatile secondary power source for the Joy-Cons, cell phone, or Switch console itself. It also includes built-in storage for game cards and Micro-SD cards inside the grip for easy access. Clip Grip Power will be available later this month for an MSRP of $24.99, and will soon be available for pre-order at Amazon.com.

Are you trying to say the official Switch dock is a quality product? Because it absolutely isn't.

I hope either Nintendo or a third party company make better joycon straps. The ones included with the console feel so fucking cheap and shitty it's unbelievable.

>>380324162
Just bullshit PR
No one is using the Tegra X1 in significant quantity except Nintendo. Granted the fab plants can only make so many chips, of any kind, so there's competition over which chips actually get made based on who is bidding more for them

>>380324486
>Because it absolutely isn't.
why not?

>>380323848
What the kickstand really needs is multiple positions for different viewing angles and a wider foot for standing on anything that isn't a rigid, flat surface.

>>380319520
For $25 that actually doesn't sound too bad. If I find a Splatoon 2 community that uses the online chat features I'll probably end up getting that instead of the slick but retarded headset.

Currently they're used for LAN support and recharging pro controllers/joycon via the charging grip. They'll also be used for Hori's upcoming pro controller (it's wired only), Hori's fight stick, and the Pokken controller.

It's the RAM. There's an industry shortage.

It's a cheap piece of shit. Thin, flimsy plastic that feels like it's worth no more than $20 at the most.

>>380326130
It uses HDMI out. The console itself doesn't have a port, so there needs to be some kind of proxy between the two.

Portable extended battery when?

well good thing it's free with the console then

Fuck the official dock, it destroys your Switch over time.

>>380336298
>Netflix/browser
>for a tablet

why

While I am not a big fan of the Nyko dock's design, as a switch user I am happy that companies are starting to make 3rd party docks for the switch. If they can make one that has a bigger base and a back to rest the switch on, I would pick it up.

>>380336630

Do you not understand the main appeal of a tablet?

>>380336630
???? Switch is literally the perfect Netflix device

>>380334689
the thing doesn't get hot enough to warp, that was a factory issue, but keep falling for snake oil i guess

>>380337069
Do you?

So what's a good way to dock your switch for tv, without actually docking it. I don't want scratches.

>>380337628
This, how do I stop my Switch from getting scratched up until the Nyko dock comes out.

>>380337628
You can either
>put a $5 glass screen protector on it
>spend $25 to buy a third party dock shell and have to transfer the innards of the stock dock yourself
>spend $45 for Nyko's dock + charger

>>380337628
Just use the fucking dock it doesn't actually scratch the screen, it's flat plastic for heck's sake

>>380334406

Its really not though

>>380337628
screw it up and pick out the adapter.

Buddy, come on. I love the Switch and I'm trying to get one ASAP, but I doubt it's some viral marketing scheme by screen protector sellers and Nyko to defame the dock. It legitimately has a problem, and putting your head in the sand isn't going to keep your console from getting scratched nor is it going help Nintendo improve their build quality.
