The Switch isn't even close to the greatest handheld ever made. When the Switch can emulate as many systems as the Vita/PSP and more, THEN we'll talk.

That's nice, except Samus Returns is stuck on a shitty 240p screen. I would buy a Switch now instead of waiting for Prime 4 if that would just come to the damn Switch.

Peace Walker on PS3 was still infinity times better than on PSP.

Okay, at the moment it isn't but a few years down the line it will be when emulation is possible and we have all of the 2017 and 2018 games.
The Vita has no potential other than emulation of games that are playable elsewhere.

Still unsure if they will bother or not.

I dont care how careful and cautious you are. Fate and random chance are going to take a lot of peoples Switches away in the next 5 years because there's no good fucking way to protect.

EVERY sane person keeps a case on their phone and tablet for this exact reason. The fact that Nintendo does not have one or a design that can support an actual hard shelled case in any way is full blown pants on head retarded.

My actual portables have gone through a lot of punishment since I got the 3DS and Vita in 2012, especially since until about 2015 I was regularly working out in the wilderness for long periods of time. If I didn't have a case on the Vita or 3DS I'm sure they would be dinged to hell or broken at this point.

The Switch would never last in the lifestyle my other handhelds have. It's a shit tier handheld and a shit tier console.

>>383605281

They're going to IOS where it's still cheap for sure.

It's battery life and size makes in impractical as a handheld

It can't fit in most pockets and you're lucky to get 4 hrs out of BotW with brightness at 1 and airplane mode on, it's abysmal

But it's also an underpowered piece of shit when docked

The Switch has an identity crisis and it is worthless trash as a result

You people seriously need an hard shelled case? The most protection I use for almost everything is a screen filter and it's perfectly fine, how the hell are you treating your consoles.
Not even arguing in favor of the switch, not having an hard case is retarded to the nth degree, but I'm genuinely surprised. Granted, I'm really overly cautious with things, but still, I didn't think people were breaking things THAT easily.

The quality of games are directly affected by its hardware. What the guck does the Switch even have? Everything of note is a ducking port. Zelda, Mariokart, etc. Arms was a flop because it has zero content, and Splatoon 2 looks eerily identical to Splatoon. What games are you referring to?

>300 US dollars + tax for a handheld
What a steal.

>>383606797
Going by your logic when it comes to splatoon, all games are ports of everything. That's retarded and hypocrite.

As it is said by the 3 000 of people that probably buy the last iphone and use like 10% of what it could do, but they need the last one because reasons.

>>383606665
It's not about protecting it from myself, it's about protecting it from any sort of eventualities.
Let's say your on a flight. Switch in bag in the overhead. You just slipped it back into the bag really quick instead of going the whole remove joycons, put them away, put the case BACK ON, all to just put it all back together once the seat belt sign turns off. Because it's a big fucking process to put it in any sort of protection after you've been playing it.
Some mook slams his 200 pound suitcase on top of your bag.

My hard shelled handhelds and devices? They'd be fine. The switch? It's fucked.

If it can't be exposed to random chance and have a good chance of surviving it's a shit handheld.

>>383606924
I separated Arms and Splatoon 2 because I acknowledge that they aren't poets, but I'm saying Splatoon 2 looks so close that the same experience can be captured in the original and the upgrade doesn't look worth it.

I'll even give you the benefit of the doubt and say Splatoon 2 will be godlike. That's one good non port exclusive.

?????

>>383606924
The Switch has the capabilities to do proper Splatoon local multiplayer and they didn't go for it.

Pretty much all the proof we need that it's a retooling of Splatoon 1 and not from the ground up.

>>383605676

If I'm really going in a fight and the console is involved, my console is probably dead, hard ase or not or even gameboy or not. Otherwise, if it's put in a bag beforehand... I never had any kind of problem (..Well, actually, I had once, with a DS lite in an hard case, but these goddamn joints were probably the WORST on any portable thing, ever.)

But then again the person you were replying to isn't much better because the point of the switch isn't what's on it right now, it's what will be on it soon. Although even port-wise, a portable Extella that isn't as terrible as the Vita one may be neat.

sure. You're going to need that wi-fi when you're outside without a network. Retard.

My Switch, in sleep mode, lasted over 2 weeks while I was in another state.

Screen time is 3 to 5 hours depending on the game. Sleep time is much longer. It was fully charged when I left, when I got back 2 weeks later, it was at 78% I was mildly impressed because my 3DS lasts maybe a few days in sleep mode.

>>383612267
If the OP wants to claim its the best handheld of all time, it needs to beat out other handhelds. Since its lineup will most likely just be your general dozen or so nintendo first party home console titles over its lifetime, that is pretty fucking unlikely.

Not an argument.

>>383612284
lol the core feature and marketing gimmick of this console is the "ability" to take it on the go. You can't have it both ways. It's either a hand held built for autists to play with outside all day, or a home console that's weaker than anything else whilst being more expensive.
