I have been told it is only for video apps like Hulu and YouTube, as well as video from the Nintendo eShop.
Jonathan Ward
>Permanently docked joycons >Can connect external controllers >Able to be docked
I can't wait to see the Nintendo PR with this shit. People are gonna blow their lids because unless they have a separate controller, they can't play on their TV.
Isaiah Reed
>$250 bundle with Pokemon Sword/Pokemon Shield will be available as well. Too bad it will probably be the digital version.
David Brooks
No way Nintendo will shoot themselves on their feet with retarded shit like that, imagine the backslas if they ever announce a 4K capable* switch.
Connor Parker
There was an earlier "leak" that said they would bundle in a mini Pro Controller so you could play it docked. Seemed similar to this one.
Well that is what I've been told was tested and confirmed to be running at 4K right now. They did try to get Mario Kart running at 4K but I've heard nothing more from that experiment so I have no idea if they were successful.
Jace Sanchez
Doesn't matter. This is smart, they sell more controllers and idiots will buy any limited edition, slightly different version Switch minis whenever it comes out. Just like how people collected the 3DS.
Carter Reyes
I'm trusting every leak i hear from Yea Forums from now on, that dude who leaked e3 did it for me When will it come out though?
Alexander Wilson
Sure user.
Aiden Russell
>Someone on Yea Forums actually just leaked real content about a game and got no replies >Some attention seeking redditor makes up dumb bullshit about future nintendo products and gets a bunch of free (you)s
You guys only have yourselves to blame.
Nicholas Flores
Those people should get the regular Switch then if they want to want to play with it docked. Why would they get mad that there's a cheaper pure handheld version available?
Blake Johnson
pretty reasonable although I'm still skeptical about non-removable joycons after they've made so much of local co-op although what's the point of 4K support when nothing it runs is 4K?
Isaac Adams
>Make console with better hardware >Ethernet port on a mobile console >Tegra 2 is somehow not a big improvement over Tegra 1
Running games on a tera 2 would literally drain the battery in what? 90 minutes?
Jaxson Sanchez
Eh, I can still live with the normal Switch. It's fine.
Owen Morris
The Switch Mini still comes with a dock of some sorts, it's just that it's more marketed towards those with a "more active lifestyle"
Jordan Turner
Im pretty sure he meant 4k for media e.g movies etc, Android phones can do that nowdays and can encode 4k videos just fine, zero chance for actual 4k on games though
Caleb Ward
They've managed to get YouTube and Hulu running at 4K. They tried to test Mario Kart 8 at 4K but as far as I know nothing more has come of that. I'm sure less taxing games on the hardware like Taiko no Tatsujin or other less demanding games may get the 4K treatment. It's an available option to big developers right now but since all of my sources have come from people involved with Nintendo product testing I don't have info on third-party stuff
Yeah that was one thing I forgot to mention. Battery life is still kinda meh. It's an improved battery but it still lasts around the same amount of time and it's game dependent.
Austin Wilson
We’ve had substantial rumors about a new switch model for months man. No one to blame but yourself. That said I really like my switch and wouldn’t care for a smaller version or a slightly improved one
Isaiah Murphy
Will the added "power" help it run the VII remake?
I'm not spending 500$ on a PS4 if I could just buy a switch instead
Isaac Kelly
I've heard about the switch mini and didn't give a shit about that. Didn't know they'd actually be making a pro version though
David Howard
I know next to nothing on the third-party reactions. All of my info have come from sources close to Nintendo.
Luke Adams
>WSJ says both new Switches are releasing this year >next year (lol
They're going to con some 3DS users into migrating with the Switch Mini, just in time for Mario Maker 2 and the new Fire Emblem.
Then they'll release the Switch Plus before the new Pokemon games.
Caleb Collins
>1080p display stopped reading there, try harder next time.
>Nvidia Tegra X2 (very slightly underclocked, certainly not as big of a difference as the OG Switch) You of course realise the X2 runs on an entirely different architecture and isn't compatible with Maxwell?
Cameron Cook
>Nintendo Switch Plus
>Nvidia Tegra X2 (very slightly underclocked, certainly not as big of a difference as the OG Switch) Seems a bit pointless and outdated. Couldn't they just have made something on a 10nm or 7nm process like Xavier or Orin?
>1080p LCD screen (I heard one source claim it was an OLED display but I don't trust it) Eh.
>Can support 4K video docked 4K video as in streaming video, sure. 4K on games? No.
>Possible that hardware add-ons that make the system more powerful can be connected to the dock. Well, the patent had something like that but still have trouble seeing the practicality in that.
>Built in Ethernet port on "Plus Dock" Saves me a USB port.
>$349.99 USD/34,980yen (without tax), launches sometime next year idk when >Base Switch will get a price decrease, price yet to be determined.
$350 isn't bad but a pro model could stand to push harder as far as memory and CPU/GPU are concerned.
Jason Martinez
>more power >smaller battery >permanent joycons Yikes
>$225 USD/24,980yen, releases this November >$250 bundle with Pokemon Sword/Pokemon Shield will be available as well. This is the most unrealistic part. Nintendo doesn't bundle new games with their consoles at a discount. It'd be $225 for the console + $60 for the game + $20-50 for some additional accessory such as Pokeball Plus or a travel case.
Eli Rivera
So the Switch Mini releases in almost less than five months, and Nintendo hasn't said a word? You'd think they would announce it about seven months in advance at the least.
>Possible that hardware add-ons that make the system more powerful hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahadsjhgdajuswyfghoaugw
BASED retard
Matthew Hernandez
Ok, but you would actually have to be retarded to believe it was actually running 4k video games instead of just video.
Why are you implying multiple sources when also sounding so vague and uninformed? Try harder with your next fake.
David Morris
theyve been pulling that shit since nes >muh future hardware addon for more power!
Eli Jones
You mean like the Famicom Disk System and 64DD?
Gavin Rogers
He almost certainly meant 4K streaming video, like how the Xbone S can do 4K blu ray but not games.
Connor Nelson
yeah bud, useless shit to sell the system and FAILED addons
Grayson Sanders
You do know the X2 is not meant for gaming right? If they were making a new Switch they would have to use something later down the line.
Oliver Thompson
Imagine buying a switch mini which stick will start drifting like the joycon sticks because of the design flaw and not beeing able to switch the joycons lmao. What retard would buy that trash only to throw away after half a year? Nintendo really is the apple of console manufactures
Mason Bennett
I would have some questions for this, like does the add on device need a separate power supply? How clunky is the switch going to be with add ons? What would the price of said add on be?
I'm getting bad flash backs of the sega cd-32x here.
Mason Diaz
I'd cream myself for old Nintendo IPs with new official challenges How many damn times can I play SMB3
