They had to. It was to strong. Sony payed them to nkt make it 4k and 244fps because it would of made ps4 look bad so nintendo said ok

Actually it's one gen old, the X1.
They're using scraps left over from the shield.
Also Its portability borders on non-existant because of the atrocious battery life.

>>385792245
Based Nintendo making slightly better than 2005 hardware and charging $300 United States Dollars for it

>>385792453
>Actually it's one gen old, the X1
It's two years old and The Switch's version is rumored to have some updates on top of it.

>Also Its portability borders on non-existant because of the atrocious battery life.
It's standard among handheld devices, only its more powerful than most handheld devices.

>>385792453
>They're using scraps left over from the shield.
So, can we get Half-life 2 and portal on the Switch?

>>385792815
2.5-3 hours for a dedicated gaming console with no other uses? That's not standard at all. The Vita is widely regarded as having shit battery life, yet it still manages at least 4 everytime.
Also I said one gen old, not year.

>>385793013
I guess? It's not a matter of architecture, it would be down to valve wanting make a switch port.

>>385792245

It doesn't even run WiiU shit well.

here come the consoles bragging about their only 3 years behind pc set top boxes for the low low $400, $70/year, and $60 games with $50 season passes

>>385792245

nintendo didn't have a fucking thing to do with it

>>385792453

Agreed, they need to release an updated version with the new chipset

The Switch is still garbage.

>>385793021
>2.5-3 hours for a dedicated gaming console with no other uses?
3-5. Damn impressive when you're playing games like Splatoon 2 non stop.

>>385792245
It isn't though.
Thw Switch has lower specs than the WiiU, which was just about equal with the 360 and depending on what you were doing more or less powerful than the PS3.

>>385792453
>atrocious battery life
2.5-6 is more than enough for a portable gaming system
You wouldn't be gaming for more than 6 hours outside of home anyway

Xavier wont be ready for a few more months and wont see any live action for another year or two. By the time it has plenty of live data and tweaks, Nintendo would be ready for a successor.

>>385792245
They were able to make the Switch that powerful because of smartphones. Because of how well smartphones have been selling this decade, so much research and development has went into mobile chipsets which is why smartphones and tablets become noticeably more powerful each year.

>>385793702
How do we go from 30+ hours, to only 5 hours?

>>385793493
BoTW gets about 3 hours. Disgaea 5 can get over 4 hours easily. Splatoon 2 less than 3.

>>385793347
>You wouldn't be gaming for more than 6 hours outside of home anyway

Handheld=/=Mobile games

>>385793964
Might have something to do with battery technology not increasing the same way the screens, hardware and graphical fidelity have increased

>>385793702
>A photo with some text over the top is proof of battery life
from 100% to 0 there's no way in hell BOTW can run for 5 hours, maybe 5 hours for street fighter 2, but then my phone can do that for 8+ hours, and it has the utility of a phone.

>>385793702

WOW, THANK YOU BASED NINTENDO.

>>385793702
5 hours doing what? I guarantee you it's not playing games.

>>385793702
Huh, I thought this whole time something was wrong with my SP. Swear I had to charge it everytime I picked it up as a kid.

>>385793702
Are these from sitting in the main menu with no game even inserted or some shit? They are all way too fucking high and don't seem realistic at all.

>>385794092
>have fond memories of the SP as the best handheld ever
>it used a shitty frontlight inside of a casing instead of an actual backlight and didn't even come built with a headphone jack
but damn was it sexy

>>385794342
Still, not having to ever ask your parents to buy more batteries was nice. And the clam shell design meant the screen stays perfect, no matter how long you have it.

>>385793985
So you are mad you have to charge something while you're in your house?

>>385792245
Better than 10 to 11 year old hardware and their previous console. Based Ninty indeed.

>>385793964

Akaline and Zinc batteries is based on technology from the early 1900s. Lithium Ion basically only became a thing in the 70s. It's very young by comparison and companies are racing to find a way to make it as small as possible without exploding.

>>385794785

>>385793976
>Splatoon 2 less than 3.
Weird, mine lasts longer than it does with BOTW at least.

>>385793021
>yet it still manages at least 4 everytime.
It gets about 3 to 3.5 for most games.

>>385795084

I had to pull that number off the internet. I've never actually hit the limit because I play in 60 minute bursts.

No im saying handhelds are typically played for more than 6 hours, just like you would binge a console game. If you're riding along on a road trip for 3 days, do you honestly think you'll be gaming for less than 6 hours?

>>385795475
>sitting in a car for 3 days without stopping

If you do that often enough that it's an issue, you have bigger problems than the switch's battery life.

>>385795181
4+ on all three danganronpas, P4G, dragon's crown and muramasa, I can personally confirm.

>>385795708
It must be nice being a NEET that needs never travels for business ventures.

>>385795862

So... bring the charger with you and charge the system on layover?

>>385795757

None of those are demanding though. Killzone Mercenaries is a different story though.

>>385795475
I could never play handhelds in a vehicle, makes me feel sick for some reason

P4G is a PS2 game running at a higher resolution, which is pretty much on par with the Switch, except it goes up to 1080p.

>>385796790
same thing applies to books, retard.

and it's irrelevant because no one owns one, it has shit battery, too expensive for full buy in, terrible online with ridiculously bad voice chat system, you have to buy an ethernet port and it's flagship game is available on the previous console they let die
