I don't care what /v/ says, it's a home console that

I always find that argument hilarious. One side says it's a console you can take anywhere. The other side says it's a handheld that you can easily connect to your TV. Those two statements are literally the same exact thing. It's a console and a handheld. With the Switch they are both correct statements. That's what's awesome about the system.

inb4 battery life

Where are you going that you'll be playing it for more than 5 hours in a sitting anyway? If it's really such a concern, power banks are dirt cheap these days and will give you another 4-10 hours of charge.

It's really hard to say. I got my system at launch and with only Zelda and Bomberman to play, it seriously felt like a PS Vita that I could optionally hook up to a TV. The moment I got my hands on Splatoon 2, it felt right at home in the dock with the idea of taking it outside being a secondary feature

I brought mine home to my parents house. Everyone gets exicted about the switch and likes to play it. People also like the joycons a lot. It's been completly worth buying an extra det of joycons and a pro controller

No it isn't.

>>387253250
>that you can also bring anywhere.
So a handheld. Gotcha.

>>387254676
Nobody wants to play handheld games on their tv, everybody wants to be able to play their console games on the go.

>>387253250
It's a jack of all trades. There's a lot of simply good things about it, but there's a lot of trade offs too.

>>387253934
it's an underpowered home console and an oversized portable with a poor battery life

>>387254847
Not really. Graphical fidelity and resolution are memes. I'd rather get nice art styles and frames per second.

>>387254908
I'd rather get that too though, I have a Switch. I'm just saying it's not perfect by any means.

>>387254983
Well, nothing is perfect.

Another marketing thread, thanks

It can go toe to toe with the PS4 Pro, it's a fucking home console.

>>387255030
>people discussing things I don't like are shills
Ok.

>>387255094
Sonic Forces was made to be played on mobile devices so it's no surprise that it runs good on Switch.

It's technically a handheld with a separate accessory for TV output. Aside from this objective fact however, how one feels about it depends on his lifestyle and the style of games he plays on it.

Only if you're putting it in your pocket. People commuting to work or on trips hane some sort of bag or case with them.

I don't care what you say. It's a handheld with an HDMI out

>>387253934
But it can play play home console games, in HD as well. so...

>>387255798
The gameboy advance could play SNES games, the DS and 3DS got N64/PS2 games. The Vita got straight up PS3/PS4 games

This, if you purchase the Nintendo Switch you'll see what we mean. It's truly great.

The Joy-cons, at least having them separate and two people using one side, are horribly designed for those unfamiliar with the system. Ten minutes of playing Mario Kart 8 D. the other day included trying to teach the neighbors what buttons they need to press when almost all of them are unlabeled. Comes down to "the right button makes you go", "the top-left buttons shoots your item".

I know it's un-hip to have colored buttons but they really would have helped a lot.

Second, the screen on its own out of the dock is really small for two people watching the same one. Practically sitting shoulder to shoulder to have a friend reliably see the Snipperclips level.

I fail to see the problem with that.

Those are labeled, they're SL and SR.

>>387256219

The wrist strap attachments block the labels.

>>387255708
Anon if it doesn't fit into your pocket then it's not portable. You could put your alienware gayming PC in a bag and carry it but that doesn't make it portable right?

>>387256205
The controls are too complicated for the toddler

>>387256398
Laptops aren't portable?

>>387256398
Except it does, you fucking moron. A laptop is portable.

>>387256518
>>387256519
I mean a desktop, chode. Can do the same thing but it still isn't portable.

>>387256582

>>387256582
Do you even know what portable fucking means? Because, yes, it fucking is portable.

Of course you're not going to reply, it would be a checkmate for you if you answered.

Already answered buddy, read a lil better next time.

>>387256398
Tablets and laptops are considered portables.

>>387257291
Laptops are also Personal Computers.

It's a decent console. I like I can do shit on my computer and play it.

>>387257524

>>387257884
laptop

noun
1.
a portable computer, usually battery-powered, small enough to rest on the user's lap and having a screen that closes over the keyboard like a lid.
Compare tablet (def 6).

Ask until the end of time ;)

I don't like very man nintendo ips. I don't like platformers and that's a huge chunk of their games. I never have a desire to bring games with me. If I'm out and about I have other shit to do. I was considering it when I thought it would get monhun 5 but not anymore.

>>387257990
It doesn't fit in your pocket but it's still portable.

PORTABLE

Nintendo got out of the console business. They admitted it themselves. It's a tablet.

>>387258361
Sure you aren't.

Keep screamin lol ;)

But seriously, it has some weird design choices but if it works and bring me fun then it's not all that bothering.

>>387253934
>One side says it's a console you can take anywhere
Those are called handhelds.

There's a reason why Gameboy won and Gamegear lost. Guess which one doesn't fit in your pocket.

Can Momoka even consent?

I'm a sonybro who just fell into some money and bought 2 at gamestop today, going to try and flip the 2nd one for 100 dollar profit, if not in 30 days I'll return it.

Never thought I'd actually buy a switch but I just got a couple grand thrown my way. I only bought BoTW.

I still hate nin-toddlers, they can suck my dick.

How come some retards don't get that Switch isn't just an iPad with a TV-out? It's not like you're not playing Angry Birds and Fruit Ninja on your TV, You're playing home console games on the go, like Zelda and Disgaea. Heck, the Switch version of Disgaea is the home console version, not the trimmed-down version like the Vita port was.

This. I was just playing Kart with my younger cousins, and I just told them the right button is go, the bottom button is brake, and they instantly got the concept

>>387262337
Same reason why people think because their $700 smartphone can run Angry Birds at 1080p60fps high retina display resolution that dies in a very short time is better than an actual game on a $300 system running at 720p with decent battery life.
