Its 199 for 540p-720p gaming.
On a 5.5 inch screen, yeah.
as op said, this wins Christmas easily.

is this real?
might get it in 2 years used for mhgu and possible future handheld monhun

OH NO NO NO NO LMAO
yeah?
>used to shit on xbox players for having to pay for online
>now brags when they have to do the same
OH NO NO NO NO NO NO
>2018
the year you got your last exclusive... it tells a lot.
>bragging about expensive online
Cringe.
This is likely due to the fast that the PS4 doesn't price its only good games at a const $80. Switch games are a complete fucking rip off. Yes Zelda is pretty good, but it's not $80 good
What questions are we supposed to be asking with this?
We knew it was coming
We know people have been asking for it
Nothing of value was really lost specwise
It even has a longer battery life
And a D-Pad
And it's $100 cheaper
So again, enlighten us, what questions are we supposed to be asking?
>Would actually really like one of these since I don't really consider the Switch portable
>Remember that save data is no longer stored on the cartridge and that digital games are locked to the console, not your account, so every time I want to play a game on the other console I need to do an entire fucking system transfer
No thanks
>mfw they're seriously trying to charge $60 for Skyrim
based
Did you Nintidiots forget you're also paying for online now?
The funniest thing is that despite being the cheapest it's still the worst value proposition.
this basically proves that ps4 is the fortnite platform
the switch functions as a pretty good laptop though if you jailbreak it
How can we do the paperclip exploit if we can't remove the joycons?
I own a PS4 and a Switch.
Nintendo needs to stop charging top dollar for 10 year old games and you need to stop gargling Sony's cum.
Why you lying
is he retarded enough to brag about it tho?
sony66ers i swear
>BBBBBBBBUT SONY!!!!!!!
Keep crying nincel
What am I lying about?
Seriously, I'd love to know what part of that is wrong
Well shit, I didn't expect an actually good question
But I'm sure we'll discover another way
I've been waiting for this. Time to fucking dump my fucking Vita into the fucking trash!
Fucking gotem XD
A cheaper smartphone can do 1080p.
What is the point of this? It's literally the Switch but without the ability to be docked.
based retard
no it can't. a static windows screen isn't a game.
Damn I'd rather have a more powerful non dockable switch...
Lower price point for children who won’t have access to a TV otherwise. This is literally the child’s version.
You're objectively wrong.
Whens the Virtual Console coming back so i can play games that are actually fun?
I feel bad for whichever kid has dumb parents and gets them this because "Its the same thing" as the Switch.
>not naming it Switch U
Eh kids are dumb
My niece wanted a Switch but at 300$ a bit much.
>5.5 inch
So still twice the size of your dick.
Sautering like we did in the good old days.
Also seing how they use webkit we can expect a new exploit every second week.
>can't play all games and requires extra joycons for precise motion controls
>identical to the original in terms of specs and capability
>d-pad will be the mess we have on the pro controllers
to top it off, what happens when your entire handheld starts to drift like the joycons did? this seems so damn pointless, wasn't the point of the switch for it to be a portable console? now they just make a portable handheld that's the exact same thing but can't play all your games and you can't sit at home and play on your tv, what was the fucking point? a pro/elite version would have made 1000x more sense, a complete home/docked version with no screen and better hardware. no one takes the switch outside unless they're taking it to a friends house along with their dock and hdmi cable to hook up to their tv
Nah they'll find out eventually, kids are smarter than you think.
Especially with the internet
>to top it off, what happens when your entire handheld starts to drift like the joycons did?
You buy a new one, goy!
im not getting one cos i got a switch... but im gonna applaude nintendo here...
They brought back the gameboy advance.
This place is for nintendo fanboys only bub. Logic won't get you anywhere here.
Is there a version without the "portable" gimmick?
>joystick breaks or button gets fucked
>have to buy a new Switch Lite
BASED
Do a cost/benefit analysis of the PS+ free games, they're worth way more than what you're paying.
Yeah you can stop samefagging since no one other than OP seems to like this console.
ok brb lol
Lol are people really complaining they can't play 12 Switch?
I for one waited until this to buy a Switch unlike the SEETHING fat TVfags.
based enlightened individual
It's because of Sony's cut on Fifa microtransactions
The only games that aren't compatible are LAbo and 1 2 Switch
>identical specs
Why would the 3DS replacement for little kids playing Pokemon and women playing Animal Crossing have boosted specs?
you imply people who get this are the type who pirate. at least, I assume they're savy enough to stick with the original
This will be good for my girlfriend who literally just wants an animal crossing machine.
>all those games I don't play make me RICH
you brain on corporate loyalty...
only if you believe in santa
too many people would buy the cheap lite if it had support for TV output, so nintendo had to lock it down
Fixed it
You guys realize this is the dedicated Pokemon machine for parents to buy this holiday season? Nevermind that they can also drop another $200 on software if they so desire since there's a backlog of evergreen titles for any Switch owner to have.
This also comes out half a year before the new Animal Crossing, which I'm sure will also drive sales of the Switch Lite. Given that the 3DS is more or less dead and the Vita has been long out of production, this is the perfect chance for Nintendo to sell a handheld only model.
The 3ds launched for 200, no?
>what happens when your entire handheld starts to drift like the joycons did?
Clean them like I do with all of my other joycons. I sure hope you aren't replacing them.
3DS launched for $250, dropped in price after four months down to $170, then later models and revisions created maybe four or five different price points for all the different permutations. Its launch was a mess and Nintendo took Swift action to try and salvage it.
They’re not system locked. You can have one primary console and however many secondary consoles on your account as you want. You just can’t play on the secondary consoles while the primary is being used.
Besides the price there was the fact there was literally nothing to play on it. The switch at least has a more robust library due to being out for three years. Also if I were getting this I'd wait for the inevitable pokemon bundle.
What's the fucking point
THIS KILLS THE SNOY
Digital games are tied to your account you clown
Don't know that there's a Pokemon bundle, but there is a Pokemon edition
>buying new hardware at launch
It's basically a downgraded cheaper version for children. Just like the 2DS.
Playstation is currently losing all jap dev support thanks to their censorship bullshit
>Fifa and Fortnite whales on PS4 spend more money than an years worth of console and games sales for Nintendo
Microtransactions were a mistake
How many of you mouthbreathers already own a switch?
Joke's on you, I waited until six months after launch to buy my Wii U
That's complete bullshit and this Lite console won't be able to run Japanese multiplats either so the devs have no choice but to stay with Playstation (and PC).
>releasing a week before the game
I thought for sure they'd release this in a bundle. Unless it comes with a DL voucher.
>this Lite console won't be able to run Japanese multiplats either
wot
it has the same performance as the undocked switch
The games are being sold separately. So you'd have to BUY the voucher.
You think Nintendo made switch bundles with a game without charging you the extra $60 for the game even to this day?
They're not even hiding that you don't get the game with it
Exactly, so all the "Why aren't games X, Y and Z on Switch but on Censorstation 4?" will continue because this new version can't run them either.
In a perfect world Nintendo would have made a capable console instead of this kiddie shit and in the process made sure that every 3rd party game on Snoy also ended up on Switch. But they didn't.
I got your back user
You also have to be online to play digital games on the “secondary” account
why does it look so gay
The colors cyan and magenta will be a theme in SwSh.
That's the wrong hardware revision
I just wanted a proper console without a 2 hour tablet that gets scratched and warped when docking
But no harm done. Mario Maker is the only game I wanted anyway
The smaller screen is an issue. They should have just used the same screen with smaller bezels.
What if Sony released a new PS Vita
PS VITALITY!!!!
*Sony wins xmas*
This thing cant even run Mario Party. The game needs joycons detached to run. With no rumble you can't play certain mini games. Not the biggest upset but there's a first party $60 game this shit is incapable of playing.
How did we evolve backwards??
we're literally back to 2001 in terms of functionality
here's a full list of features of the Nintendo Switch Lite:
>a single color 2d display
>buttons
when is sony going to release a handheld?
do we have the technology yet to emulate ps2 games in handhelds?
If you like holding a burning phone
So I can't put this on tv ?
What's the point ? This isn't even a switch anymore.
Is there any chance they have a at home only version in the works? I'm sick of Nintendo's gimmick consoles but miss playing their core games
>no F-Zero
No thanks!
Hey I’m just here to discuss video games... I come here to not think about my micropenis :(
Except nobody wanted a Vita to begin with
Will So(n)ydrones commint sudoku if the Switch sells double or triple the ammount of Ps4 this Christmas and black Friday?
Or will they resort to wojak shitposting about some WEBM how frame drops in a Nintendo exclusive
on a handheld.
I'd buy one if it wasn't for the battery life. I play my Switch mostly undocked anyways, but a 30% is not enough for me.
What does it compete with? Itself?
you don't need ps+ to play f2p games online.
> 20th month
Fake
So it's a PSP?
Now name me all the features of other company's currently supported handhelds.
WHERE IS THE FUCKING SWITCH PRO/DELUXE ???????????
I don't even own a tv so I guess I'd rather get this than the regular version.
Is buying a Switch worth it if I just want Bayonetta and weebshit?
still a larger screen than my 3ds
>end of the console generation
>next iteration comes out next year with full backwards compatibility so people are holding off
>ps4 easily sold the most this gen
>LOL SNOYS WREKT
*saving my money for a ps5*
>2/3 the price for 1/2 the console
Ripoff
I mean, no offense, it's also 33% cheaper, so you're kinda asking for a lot here.
Almost zero chance. The switch is a handheld first and foremost, the mini is just further proof of that.
Imagine being so poor that you don't own a switch and a PS4.
Imagine caring about console wars in 2019 as a full grown adult.
>truly portable bayonetta 1, 2, and 3
bros...
>costs $699
Would buy if there were no switch emulators working
I have an xbox and ps4 but no switch. Still waiting for the one with better resolution.
>removes all name giving features
>it's still Switch
3D WAS A GIMMICK THAT NINTENDO QUICKLY ABANDONED
DOCKING THE SWITCH IS A GIMMICK THAT NINTENDO IS QUICKLY ABANDONING
THE SWITCH IS A HANDHELD IN ITS HEART AND SOUL, HYBRID FAGS GOT RUSED
Have fun playing upscaled handheld games on your big screen
Isn't the whole point of the Switch that it's the first hybrid console in the mainstream market?
Why are Nintendo doing this?
4.7
Nintendo is now selling what’s basically handheld games for $60. Pokémon and Zelda launching with this at that price point is proof. This doesn’t even a ‘switch’ anymore. They just raised the price of handheld games by $20 and people are eating it up. I’m disgusted.
Breath of the wild is a 100 hour game you piece of shit. That’s less than a dollar per hour of entertainment. That’s incredible value.
There's no other handheld console on the market so unless the 3DS outsells it, it will most likely win.
No information about the gpu and cpu.
They could castrate it as well
>no tv output
FUCKING WHAT?
DROPPED
There are no handhelds on the market. The Switch is a hybrid.
It is the same thing. The one hour battery is solely because it doesn't NEED to charge the joycons and smaller screen. But it will only run on "undocked" power which means 10fps XC2.
It's more than 2/3 the console, the dock is just a $5 board encased in an overpriced plastic shell
But it's definitely not a home console so... tv output doesn't mean it's a home console.
Also only plays games that support handheld mode. So if there are certain games you want that cant do handheld mode, well your fucked.
Because "hybrid" doesnt mean anything, it was always just a feel good term for beefy handhelds.
people have been saying that for a while after seeing stuff like Pokemon, FE and Zelda. They're just remodeled 3ds games with a $60 pricetag.
The joycons cost half of the Switch's price to make. So there you go champ.
Those games are basically not going to exist from this point on. Its a handheld system.
It will be impossible to get the rumble moons in Mario Odyssey. Bravo Nintendo. Things are fucked
>Super Mario Odyssey
>Breath of the Wild
>Smash Bros Ultimate
>not fun
You outta your mind
10 fps
Imagine in explosions..... -1 fps
where's the based switchanon that always posts his cute fat belly and small cock?
I like his dick.
Most of those sales come from thirdworlders that only play Fifa, CoD and GTA. Fortnite has nothing to do with it.
Why can't I have a real d-pad joycon?!?!?
Retro shit is trash on Switch without.
NINTENDO
$199
Holy fuck, Switch sales are going to rocket through the stratosphere.
>Nintendo Switch Basedlite
You heard it here first bois.
How does Bayo or I dunno Xenoblade run on OG switch in handheld mode?
literally half of vita users just get it for psp/ps1 retrocompatibility and emulators
sony is not going to release a new portable
This will be a must have once the homebrew scene gets off the 3DS
Because Nintendo desperately needed a lower priced option for consumers who aren't willing to spend $300 to play Pokemon and Animal Crossing, and the majority of switch owners use it as a handheld. "Hybrid console" is just marketing speak for handheld console you can play on your TV.
this
even tho user seems like a kid using caps
Nintendo is company of gimmicks since the famicom diskette system
here's your tv output, but it's not a giant plastic shell
thats a nice 3DS game
Imagine playing this on Lite
So cheaper than Vtia and 3ds on release, with games closer to TV console quality.
It's just 33% cheaper user
This dont mach with the lot of thing they removed and dont improve either
While I don’t agree with any of your other assertions, I do only take it with me with the dock unless I’m getting on a plane. I don’t bring it with me to parties unless I’m planning on playing with my friends, and I’m one of two of my friend group who has one. So we need to plug it into the TV to play smash bros or super Mario party or Mario kart.
Is it confirmed whether this is passively cooled or still has a fan?
it's called one shot of a silicon lubricant under the palstic cap faggot
>Nintendo states no video out
>Some Yea Forums tard thinks otherwise
Well now that we have a handheld switch can we get a switch pro?
The joycons don't cost anywhere near as much as the switch tablet itself, they sell for $80 on their own and that's with Nintendo's high profit margins. The mini still has most of the joycon components just without the IR, rumble, rails and seperate batteries.
I hope nobody thinks this will Just Werk because the port is the same
I got a lot of enjoyment out of bloodborne, Xcom 2, until dawn, I’ve gotten lots of great games on psplus.
point me in the direction of a $200 smartphone that can do 1080p and play botw
Bayo runs great. To be expected though, its like 10 years old
I see it more as
>saves the garbage Pokemon SwSh by being easy Christmas bait for stupid parents
They know what they're doing and it pisses me off.
Only if they're games you actually want to play and would have bought otherwise. If you're somebody like me who only buys a few games a year and focuses on stuff with months or years of replay value it's not much of a deal, but those kinds of games are mostly on PC (or at least are better there thanks to modding etc.) anyway.
this mf said sautering
>Pay $20 (or $7 if you have friends) per year to use your own internet
vs
>Paying $60 per year (or $20 per month) to use your own internet
uhhh... based sony value??
pretty good for a pure handheld, don't you think
>if I putta the cable in will work yes?
No output means no output, my guy
Wow you saved 100 dollars by waiting two years.
this will happen user but next year
so what's the 20th month, eurocucks?
>and the majority of switch owners use it as a handheld.
i have seen maybe 4 switches in the wild since they released and nearly every one of my friends owns one. and i work on the boardwalk so i see plenty of people daily.
>$60
>Get recentish games each month
>Controller has voice support
>$20
>Get roms that have been DMCA'd off sites
>Have to plug microphone into my smartphone
uhhh... based nintendo value??
Ok but it says it only supports handheld mode so what they mean is we are still getting half a console. The dock would be useless if it couldn't output to tv.
(You)
>switch pro
>still plays handheld system games
Lol this makes even less sense than the ps4pro/xbox1X
What are you gonna be doing with that power? Pumping animal crossing or 3ds port pokemon to 4k?
These games are designed to run on a
>a literal disaster
>no hd rumble
>no tv output(that even the PSP had in 2007)
>no removable joycons(enjoy your drifting)
>Yea Forums toddlers are eating it up
Of course... why did I expect anything different?
Yea Forums's Nintentoddlers also applauded Nintendo's shitty online service that lacks basic functions other services had for over a decade.
What a fucking joke. These people will literally buy anything the company advertises...
I had low expectations for a Lite version, and I am still disappointed.
Pro version ever?
user you'd be paying $200+70 for extra joycons when you cpuld just pay $300 for a real switch that can use the tv
You should lay off the s o y because that will only charge it you dork.
they could just add hdmi port to the thing and it would be fine enough if you can connect separate controller. maybe slightly lower price. 150 or so.
Waiting in line in front of GameStop at 6 AM to buy a switch with 5 other gamers after staking the place out for days to see when they would get more units and then playing BOTW all day will always be one of my favorite gaming memories
>He replaced his joycons instead of using a $5 can of electrical contact cleaner
Outputting to a TV isn't half a console
>so what they mean is we are still getting half a console
No, that's what your lizard brain interpreted it as. The switch is mainly a handheld, it requires an accessory to use on a TV
Okay so when's the pro version so I can finally buy this shit
It's mine now, white boy
>Outputting to a TV isn't half a console
It is when its literally half the gimmick the console is build around.
You know, like the term "Switch" is standing for in the first place your moron.
user said the joycons cost half of the Switch price to make.
That logic only works if Nintendo is selling joycons at a massive loss
$200 seems still expensive if you consider all the features they removed. It should be $150-160.
Why would they? No one is going to choose nintendo’s console over PS4 if those are the games they want to play. Carving out your own niche in the industry is business 101
>New switch won't get scratched by the docks
Yea Forums btfo, nintendo wins again.
>scratched
You can buy a tempered glass screen protector online for 5 bucks.
>warped
I don’t even know what you mean buy this and I’ve owned a switch since launch.
When Nintendo makes a new Switch game that can be used to market the Switch Pro, like Horizon Zero Dawn did for Sony and the PS4 pro
Well, the Switch came out the same day as Breath of the Wild did.
And the Switch Lite is launching the same day as the Link's Awakening remake.
If Nintendo continues this pattern then we can expect the Switch Pro to come out alongside Breath of the Wild's sequel.
Whichever gets revealed first gives the release date for the other.
yeah you're so right! i'm so gonna enjoy playing angry birds at 1080p!! ooooh! how about that new mario kart tour game! filled to the brim with micro-transactions? timers? horrible controls?? waaaaaaaaay better deal than the switch!
You can buy a screen protector but it still fucking scratches your screen in the first place, that's a huge oversight
not even a 1000£ phone can run dark souls let alone a 200£ one
smartphone go on fire after playing mobile games but yeah they can run games like the switch dude for sure
If Nintendo really wanted to sell these to existing Switch users they could market them as an additional controller for their docked Switch with Wii U touchscreen functionality and functional D-Pad. Data sync between the two consoles would also be pretty wonderful for those who wanted to keep their old Switch permanently docked. Would be a great way to reintroduce W101.
>your moron
You fell for the marketing meme and your tiny lizard brain can't accept the fact the switch is mainly a handheld.
yes on a small handheld with no TV output
>launch switches are all super easy to be hacked
If this had TV out, I'd buy it for my purchased games and hack my current one.
Give it back Tyrone!
...
Guess I'm waiting until 2022
>only 3 years between GBA and DS
Huh... It felt like forever between these two.
They didn't remove $150-$140 worth of features
>WiFi connectivity
>internal memory
>removable SD cards
>fully functional analog sticks
>every button you would find on a full controller
>5.5 inch HD screen
Docking the device is just a gimmick
Nintendo abandoned 3D too. They abandon gimmicks so they can sell cheap handhelds to kids. See: GBA, DS, 3DS, etc
The switch is and always has been a handheld with a tv gimmick.
The DS didnt start getting good games until a couple years after it came out, and the GBA had games releasing until like 05-06
Remember "third pillar"
can you cite your source for "most people use switch as a handheld"?
My left analog stick physically drifts back from where I angle it in seconds
Yes I love to play all the great games they’ve developed on mobile phones like... uhhhh....
>no u
Pathetic.
ok so what's the word on the 3ds. I have a switch but I thought nintendo said they would still support the 3ds?
I can't believe that Etika didn't get to see this get revealed.
No one cared about the DS until the lite was released with Pokémon.
They won’t do that because every game still needs to run on the regular version and they’re not aiming for the crowd that cares about graphics. If it enabled them to get more 3rd party games that would help but it won’t because they would still need to run on the original switch.
>weaker switch with a smaller screen
hard pass
What more could you want, they supported the fucking thing for 7 years. They dont think its worth it to release games on anymore with the switch out
>I can't believe that Etika didn't get to see this get revealed.
Etika would probably say what the fuck is this shit
>$60
>Rent year old shovelware/obligatory purchases you already own after everyone's already played and is done with it
If there's a game I want to play, I'll buy it. Not say "Gee I'm too poor, I just hope Sony puts it in PS+ a year from now!"
He was hyped for the 2DS XL, I don’t think he would have been negative towards the lite.
No pro? This is fine i guess.
The no u is still an undefeated debate maneuver, present evidence or cry harder faggot
If a person only played games on 3ds or 2DSxl before, Pokémon or fire emblem or animal crossing, that’s who the switch lite is for. And they can still play main-line Mario and Zelda games. And games like the links awakening remake which might have been a 3ds game before will sell to both the home console and handheld focused players. It’s actually genius.
Reminder that there are people here who genuinely thought Nintendo was releasing a handheld successor to the 3DS that wasn't the Switch
My dude
>implying
>shilling
If it drops to 150$ on Black Friday.....I’d buy one.
I actually really want it now
>people like good graphics and high framerates
>LETS MAKE OUR PORTABLE DEVICE MORE PORTABLE AND LESS POWERFUL
Any important 1st or 3rd party?
retard lmao
Clamshell Switch with a dock for tv-out in the style of the 3DS charging dock. Based or cringe?
I don‘t think you all realize the impact of a new (real) Nintendo handheld. Which this is. With an already established library. That plays Witcher 3 and BoTW, and soon Pokémon and Animal Crossing.
This is gonna sell shitloads.
If people wanted good graphics why would they buy a handheld
Fucking hybrid tards lol

>cant run Hollow Knight in handheld mode without framedrops
Ok.
Sure, but no games
A handheld that plays fully featured games on tvs in 1080p? That’s a pretty robust handheld.
lol keep dreaming
If you dont want performance issues on a multiplatform games, maybe get it for a system that isnt also juggling handheld specs and an internal battery
It will sell more than the regular Switch. I'd bet my life on it. The majority of the market outside the US that uses the Switch only wants the portable capabilities.
it will LITERALLY be impossible to 100% complete Mario Odyssey on this thing
I can get the 'we wanna scoop up the bottom end market'.
But don't the majority of games run like absolute shit in portable mode?
And isn't 5~ hours battery life really shitty for a handheld?
What's the backwards compatibility library like? Is there lots of old GBC/A and DS games? How could you even do DS games with 1 screen?
Why?
The switch doesn't even play at 1080p docked lmao
>Paying for PS+
>"Free" Games
>What are software patches
It’s the second biggest game on the system. You really think it won’t get patched?
It would be cringe. Screen would have to be smaller. No idea what they would do with the analog sticks. Circle pads are shit.
Not really, my vita can do that.
>And isn't 5~ hours battery life really shitty for a handheld
The regular switch lasts like 3 hours.
>when is sony going to release a handheld?
Have you forgotten the debacle that was the vita? Sony will never release another handheld because they are retarded and won't support it
People like lower prices and game selection morseo than good graphics and performance. You are in the minority if you care more about performance than price and portability, specifically if you're in Nintendo's target demoe
Well most top end phones are greater than 1080p, and can cast to your TV.
With emulators a phone has a better library than the switch. Let alone this new one that plays them in gimped mode.
because of the rumble moons
There are different kinds of people. You’re focused on only one kind of person.
>anons that fall for clickbait headlines that omit critical facts and details, such as how that figure includes digital sales and DLC, neither of which are a focus for Microsoft or Nintendo.
lol, what people? This is a Pokémon machine just like the 2DS. The target audience for this doesn't give a damn about graphics or framerate. Making it more portable is exactly what they want.
What about some games that only work better in dock?
It's scary how this meme went from calling out the robotic nature of consumerism to hilighting the robotic nature of copypasta same think.
More like it’s the latest year with complete sales figures.
there's no rumble to find the moons in those game rooms
>Vita
>1080p
You retard.
Most handhelds barring the DS lite have terrible battery life when running their native games. Everything from Game Boy, Game Gear, to PSP and 3DS have “poor” battery life. It’s just a given with handhelds.
Lol, shit's gonna be perfectly emulatable soon and ya niggers gonna buy that shit lite?
I have literally never seen anyone use the switch in portable mode outside the first week or so it was released. Everyone I know with one leaves it in the dock 99.999% of the time.
>can't play all games and requires extra joycons for precise motion controls
One game out of 2000+. Super Mario Party.
I guarantee you nobody is going to lose sleep over that.
>a 100 hour game
Maybe if you’re 5 years old.
>free games
I'm sure they'll put in a patch that has some visual indicator of how close you are
it's already basically impossible to 100% complete it on your own
they intended you to buy hints or look shit up online for 100%
It's fucking shovel Knight
Not that many honestly. Unless its a wagglan control thing like TWEWY, most of the core functionality is retained
Why bother. Their handheld/portable market is in their Gacha shit.
Why invest risk, time and money into designing a new portable. When even Nintendo:king of portables seems to be moving away/solidifying their hold in the market.
>>d-pad will be the mess we have on the pro controllers
*had
They've been fixed since at least the Smash edition.
Is this your first experience with Nintendo?
>Tfw never dock because minor input lag drives autism insane
>Always play handheld because grew up with GBC, GBA SP, DS, 3DS, etc.
>Joy-Cons have been acting up lately by drifting
>This comes out
It feels bad being an early adopter. I don't regret putting all that time into BotW, Splatoon 2, and other games over the past 2 years, but coming to the realization that I could have done the same but cheaper and more handheld friendly for me now is a punch in the gut.
>yfw no other company will ever have a handheld lineup this flawless
>Screen would have to be smaller
Look at the GPD Win.
>Circle pads are shit
Agreed. But look at the GPD Win. You can do analog sticks on clamshell devices.
IR =/= Gyroscope
I thought it’s 1080p docked 720p handheld no?
>people say japanese third parties won't support switch cuz "hurr durr weaker than ps4"
>not realizing that a lot of japanese third parties made ports of their major titles for vita and now do it for switch
tfw
except the GBA and og GB libraries aged like milk
>implying upscaling affects games that are designed around portable resolutions
No, you are retard. Who gives a shit about upressed handheld games?
I swear you are the kind of retard that would tell me ps4/vita games like digimon or persona dancing are not handheld games just because there is a ps4 port.
>square design
>on a handheld
It took me 240 hours to get 100% complete this game a single time. That was less than $1 per 48 hours of gameplay.
Top end phones cost 800$
You need to jailbreak it to run emulators too
This should be Yea Forumss banner
>GBA library aged like
Remove yourself from the gene pool anytime now.
Nothing new
Smash brothers does
Mario Kart 8 does
Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze does
Dark Souls Remastered does
Minecraft does
and that's just a few examples I can name off the top of my head
You have objectively poor taste. The two best handheld consoles of all time. And if you get a GBA SP lighting is not an issue.
You realise the heat issues are because of the phone designs right, you fucking retard?
I think even you can understand why phones have to have closed case designs with poor internal air flow. If you put a phone in a case that allows space between components and air cooling they'd largely be fine.
Mh stories is a pokemon ripoff but still a fully fledged actual game that was improved graphically for phones vs the 3ds.
I can play tetris for infinite hours, even if it costs you one cent to purchase, that's more bang than your buck
nintendo STILL can't into ergonomics. Sad!
You've posted in this thread like 5 times and basically no one in here is defending the console. Why even bother spamming the same points over and over? No one here wants a Switch they can't dock. All people have said is that mommies who are gonna buy little Timmy the new pokemon game probably would rather pay $200 than $300.
The fuck you talking about. GB, C and A both had great battery life. It was one of the reasons they sold so well. Also asides from the SP you could just swap in new batteries and keep gaming.
It wasn't 'just a given' when good battery life was literally one of the main features of the product.
If you had argued modern consoles are more advanced than older ones and thus eat batteries better, sure. But saying old Gameboys had 'terrible battery life' is just wrong.
Hi iCuck.
this is literally a modern GBA what the fuck
NDS shits all over them, even if has BC
>when is sony going to release a handheld
If sony isn't retarded they wouldn't. They've tried twice to fuck over Nintendo's holding in the handheld market and they failed twice.
I use my switch in portable about 60 percent of the time.
Now you know one person, my friend!
A good take on this I've read is that this is really intended for Japan since Japan is so handheld-centric.
I'm usually a hardware whore and buy one of each version of hardware for most systems I own, this has absolutely zero appeal to me.
But how much of that did you actulaly enjoy?
>They've tried twice to fuck over Nintendo's holding in the handheld market and they failed twice.
I give you the Vita but PSP managed to sell better than the GBA and that was their first try
Nobody actually wants or needs this. Switch is fine just slightly too big for an adult to use as a portable but just fine for a child to haul around. Nintendo would be fools to do this.
>mobile games aren't real games
>my phone can play games in higher res than Switch
pick one retard
>people like good graphics and high framerates
People "like" it but they certainly don't feel they need it. Otherwise they would all be shelling out for gaming rigs instead of buying the fucking PS4.
the fact that you have to name individual games says everything. 720p in 2019 oh nononono literally fisher price for manchildren
PSP was on the market a lot longer. GBA had to deal with the DS coming out barely four years into its lifespan with full BC.
>PSP managed to sell better than the GBA
except that the DS was already out on the market when the PSP launced and the DS was the PSP's competition???
Guess who won that round???
Thankfully those don't exist, and at this point most likely never will.
Who gives a fuck what it displays in, if it’s fun I’m down
are the controllers removable? how do you replace the analog sticks when they start to become loose?
Super Mario Party is the only one that doesn't support handheld mode.
How big is the internal storage for the lite version?
>Have to compare 2 different generations to make a system look good.
>???
Go back to tumblr.
I used it exclusively as a handheld for the first two years I owned it. Since having a more stable financial situation and getting a tv again so I could work on PS4 backlog, I’ve gotten into using it docked but I still play most indie games and VNs handheld in bed.
>>people like good graphics and high framerates
Please don't use my name for such shitposting
The overwhelming majority of people don't give a shit about grafix and 60 FPS, they care about portability.
Remember the DS?
>720p in 2019
that shouldn't even be a problem if games operate in 720p in handheld with a 1:1 pixel ratio. That makes the games look sharp on the screen.
Tfw dumbass.
so exactly the same as how it works on PS4 then?
>dude just remove the components from a phone and add pc fans for cooling
lol
>he has to compare modern phone to a 10 years old hardware that was shit even at the time
sure friend the fact that a smartphone runs a game for a 10 years old console that is slightly more powerful than a ps2 sure proves that phones can run games better than switch
flawless argument
>makes an actual point
>"haha you used three exclamation points"
maybe you should go back to tumblr if you're just going to ignore facts
Those games do not yet exist
>GBA had literally no competition
>PSP had to deal with DS
>still managed to sell 80M a number the 3DS still cant reach
Why are people still upset over the PSP?
People on Yea Forums and other game forums have been asking for a portable only switch since the original release.
The shape really isn't that bad if you just give it 'ultra portable' that you can throw anywhere.
Real issue is them beating Apple to the punch
>no headphone port on a portable
My old Gen1 SP has tons of dead pixels now too. Just found it and fired it up. With the backlight on in the dark it's jarring, probably 10-20 of em.
>and that digital games are locked to the console, not your account
>Nobody actually wants or needs this. Switch is fine just slightly too big for an adult to use as a portable but just fine for a child to haul around. Nintendo would be fools to do this.
You're terminally retarded.
>there's only one quarter per year guys
Please try playing a game on 1080 p on your phone, on an emulator and get back to me.
Hard mode: it needs to be a switch game or st least wii-u
Nightmare mode: on a phone that costs 300 bucks or less
Those are question marks, idiot.
Have you completely forgotten the fact that Pokemon will be out this year and they need a way to bundle that to the audience that has always been handheld-only?
Just one of many reasons I'll never pay for digital.
Do japanese people buy more than one switch each? Like, do they collect different versions because of the skins?
Why compared the sales of older consoles to newer consoles?
That's like saying "oh the wii was better than the sega genesis because the wii sold more"
They didn't fucking compete with one another?? They released at two different times??
what are we gonna compared Xbox 360 sales to the PS4 now?
I'm factually right. phone advertized performance are fake, the OS allocate less power to games than a 3DS
About 100 hours, give or take. The last few tasks to get that achievement (which is now the rarest achievement I have, at 0.2% of players) were a grind.
So this the Pokemon port for people don’t want to buy a switch?
do you get pleasure out of being wrong?
Ive wanted a switch mini for years. My hands are small, I only play in handheld, and I hate how wobbly the joycons are.
Not every product is made for you, dipshit
This.
This is the reason why 1080p doesn't look good on a 4K tv but looks shard and clear on a 1080p TV. 1:1 pixel ratio is important.
>*cries in socialist*
>next iteration comes out next year with full backwards compatibility so people are holding off
cope
>ps4 easily sold the most this gen
lol
But it’s 60 dollars?
Seriously? But trailers showed it being played in handheld mode.
cuck
Please tell me how to clean them user
I’m not even shitposting
>I'm retarded and don't understand companies
It looks sharp and clear when using no interpolation. 1080p is a perfect 2x scale to 4k.
You know what else trailers show?
Games running at 60fps
Most people that spew this shit probably dont even watch RLM
Literally NPC 2.0, just a bunch of morons making fun of themselves
>Gross user put your lube away!
>Mom it's not what you think!
>Sure just put it away
>Dammit it's for my switch!
>Uh...
Ever noticed that literally every single screenshot of this happening is in Gormott?
And 720p is a perfect 3x scale to 4k. It's like they really thought this stuff out.
>to hilighting the robotic nature of copypasta same think.
>lol
yeah its pretty fun how ps4 steamrolled everything this generation
Shut up.
Do you honestly think Sony can do the same with PS5 after going censor-happy on everything west of California?
Or just people who only want the handheld aspect
>tfw 480p requires a bit of window boxing
8k where are you?
Does this use the same Tegra chip as the original?
I play with mine in handheld mode about 75% of the time and only play it in docked when playing multiplayer.
Waitfag here. So is the pro version still in the works?
Gaming was still less popular in the GBA era. I think it says a lot more about the growth of the market if the less popular of two systems was able to outsell one that had almost no competition.
>ps5 wont sell because of 'muh censorship'
despite what 'one angry incel' says, censorship fearmongers s are a very loud minority
>Well most top end phones are greater than 1080p, and can cast to your TV.
Epic streaming input lag dude.
>With emulators a phone has a better library than the switch.
You can emulate on your Switch, if you hack it like a non-retarded person.
Yes
Most likely Christmas or just before E3 2020
WSJ and Jap newspapers reveal 2 new Switches, so they're probably rolling out the cheap one first before the "Pro" one
Probably a slightly updated version but yeah, same core architecture
Probably. Given that the leaks almost always include mention of a Pro and a Lite, then the Pro is probably coming out next year to coincide with BOTW2 the same way the Lite is coming out the same day as ReAwakening and the Switch Classic came out with BOTW1
>Gaming was still less popular in the GBA era.
You cant say this when PS2 sold more than any system released during that gen combined, sure people also bought it for the DVD player aspect but still
Mainstream gamers don't care about censorship
No, I meant is this Tegra chip underclocked and inferior to the original Switch?
I ask because the 2DS didn't downgrade in hardware, they used the same shit as the N3DS and N3DSXL.
A $200 controller? No way.
Just make a screen that the Joy-Cons can dock into.
Because there's nothing to censor in FIFA or cod #2047
>n o
It got patched before anyone could reach any other titans
Yep, this is the correct way to go. You don't need to question something that isn't a matter of líder, but a pastime. Only spergs do that
I might get one of it gets hacked.
How does TWEWY work on Switch? Split screen?
kek
it doesn't matter if it's a 1:1 pixel ratio you are getting extremely less detail than a 1080p game.
not only that but 99% of these games aren't even optimized for 720p so their UIs are EXTREMELY tiny in 720p kek
you are literally buying a 2nd rate fisher price toy that devs dump their shitty ports on to make easy money from mentally ill manchildren
hope that those built on joycons are actually resistant, fucking right sticks really like to drift
>sure people also bought it for the DVD player aspect but still
Yeah, Thanks for support my point.
Is not like Japs games are that heavy in graphics and shit, most of them are like Ys in term of power.
I wouldn't be against a second switch that's portable only, but this is barely smaller at all. If it won't fit in my pocket there's no point.
>rumble removed
Why do you have to take video games so seriously, man?
Not in other countries. For example in Japan, Xenoblade 2 is about $100 when converted
Go away, ESL-kun.
My only concern is the analog stick, Joy-cons analog are already shit enough.
Not really, i mean same happened with the PS1 which sold 100M while no console up to that point has ever done
pls vote
strawpoll.me
I'd also like to point out that the PS2 had an incredibly long life. Lots of poor countries kept buying it for their yearly fifas and Wii games were easy to port to it.
Look at those toys children!
it's blue, white, and pink. like the trans flag
>majority of switch owners use it as a handheld
I don't even take it into the toilet with me. It stays hooked to my TV.
CHI
>no one takes the switch outside unless they're taking it to a friends house along with their dock and hdmi cable to hook up to their tv
That's not true. Bowser states that the data on switch usage indicated that handheld play is incredibly popular.
>"Oh man, my kids both want a Nintendo Switch for Christmas and hate sharing game systems... Oh wow! This system will play what they want, and I'll save $200 if I buy two of these instead of two of that other model, this is great!"
>"Ehhh, I'm not a big console gamer, but those Pokemon and Animal Crossing games look really enticing... Oh great! This'll play those games, I won't have to worry about this whole console mess, and it only costs $200, what a deal!"
The Lite is absolutely targeted at kids and casuals, if you don't realize this you're an idiot.
No problems with Bayo.
Did you ever consider for a moment that you do not make up the majority of switch owners?
When are we getting a cheaper non-portable version? I want to play Astral Chain and Smash, but I really don't care about playing them on the can.
...
>You realise the heat issues are because of the phone designs right, you fucking retard?
I don't get why you respond to him by calling him a fucking retard yet your next few words proves him right.
Yeah, now it's the roughly the size of most smartphone screens, what's the problem?
don't forget poorfag college students, this shit will sell like hotcakes
I'm just saying. It's not true for me. That makes 2 people that said they don't unhook it.
Unlikely. Doesn't it already have some issues with software? Sounds like it's probably gonna be a disaster since handheld mode is already garbage for a huge number of games.
And the battery life, if it's really as small of an increase as they're saying, I don't know man, I think this might actually be a 'flop'. Now, by flop I mean, dsi, as opposed to ds lite revision status. But who knows. We'll see more in the coming weeks I'm sure. I want to see some games running on it, I don't buy that it's exactly the same.
Why is Nintendo branding so soulless now? This logo looks like some shit google would shit out.
how is it a switch if it can't switch?
oh my oh my oh my
what games do they have?
Poorfag college student here. I will not be getting ANOTHER switch because I am a poorfag college student.
no this meme is working fine
except for nintenfags
thats why that image is fucking god tier
Might get one at launch. Bought a Switch close to launch but sold it due to lack of games at launch. Used it in handheld mode like 99% of the time anyways, even at home even though I have a 55" tv.
Ok well I only own a Switch, that makes 2 people that said they don't own a PS4 therfore more people own a Switch than the PS4.
Prove me wrong.
What did you mean by your webm??? Basedjak is for sony.
>You are getting extremely less detail than a 1080p game
It is 33% decrease from 1080p dumbass. That isn't "extremely less detail"
Garbage for what games?
I won't because I don't want to. That's not an argument I care to make.
THIS is the biggest bummer of this whole thing.
if a developer wanted to do something where they really use the hardware like lots of DS developers did, like a game that changes when the system is docked or not and both modes are needed to progress (sounds tedious but i'm sure there could've been a smart way to implement it), that won't happen anymore because half of potential buyers don't have docking capabilities
>lite console won't be able to run japanese multiplats
>barring in mind tons of notable japanese developers did multiplats for both ps4 and vita
dumbass
>can't connect to tv
>can't split off controls for quick 2 player
>not solar powered for maximum outdoor potential
You won't because you can't. That's not an argument you are able to refute.
It is a FACT that more people own a Switch than a PS4. My anecdotal evidence > statistics.
boards.fireden.net
At least you changed the filename to not make it so obvious
When is the 20th month?
Did you actually use the joycons for multiplayer? Jesus.
My roommate and I share a switch so I might cop so I can actually take it places without feeling like a dick. There better be a way to transfer data or at least play all the digital trash I’ve downloaded
>BUT NINTENDO!
Fuck off, I hate you fags for sucking paid online dick twice as hard as any Xbox fan ever would when you did nothing but shit on it during the Xbox and 360 era.
I hate Nintendo's paid online and never bought a day of PSN
LOL so nintendo made a fucking $200 paperweight that is even less powerful than the 8K 120fps Xbox coming out next year???
who in their right mind would defend this. I'm a 100% pc player and Nintendo is being so fucking stupid and bad that they're making me defend Xbox. At least Xbox has actual not shit kiddie fisher price games!
just give me the list of games
i can play with this shit?
>basedjak is for sony
webm related was pretty much my reaction to this. so true! snoy btfo
I don't think you understand how solar power works if you think it would be feasible to charge a handheld console with more power than a tiger electronic.
Even more low-powered garbage. Why is nintendo so fucking stingy with their processors, getting embarrassing.
This is gonna sell more than the xbox though you tripfag.
>like a game that changes when the system is docked or not and both modes are needed to progress
You and I both know nobody would have done anything like this, and if they did it would have been universally hated.
weak bait
how the fuck can they have forgotten about the best racing game for so long? It HAS to be in development right????
F-Zero is gay Wipeout chads win
seething nintendo babies
I can't wait until nintendo goes bankrupt and has to sell their fucking IPs. I hope EA buys them all and just shits on them and makes them terrible. Maybe then you manchildren will grow up and play actual fucking video games.
Just buy a normal switch if you want that
not everything is for everyone remember?
It likely doesn't have the amount of cooling the normal switch needs for docked play in order to fit in a big enough battery
>Its 199 for 540p-720p gaming.
Will n3DS prices finally drop?
Well, I suppose it really depends at this point, since the installbase for the classic Switch (and potentially the Switch PRo) is still 35-40 million.
It would still be worth it to make a game that's docked only
>I can't wait until nintendo goes bankrupt
Nintendo will likely outlive us, we'll be long dead by the time they're gone
>PC player
>Interested in console's hardware
Either troll, bait or falseflagging trash
universally hated maybe, but with a cult following that loved it
that could've been you, user!
>Wipeout chads win
oh no no no no no
I could actually see a Switch Pro Dock having the option to stream gameplay directly from a Switch Lite for a sort of "lite" version of tv play
I have all the consoles retard. This thing is coming out around the holidays for fucking 200 dollars you'd be a retard to not see it selling like a motherfucker. But then again you are a fucking tripfag so lol.
>Sony has quentin

>pc has legions of angry neckbeards

You first, newfag.
That, also most mainstream gamers don't follow games close enough to know what's censored and what's the original
>no nds/3ds cartridge slot
a wasted potential
wipeout is for baby. real chad racing game coming through
He is a fucking tripfag so both.
I have absolutely no interest in console hardware. Nintendo is using technology weaker than fucking 360 and PS3 and people praise them for it.
Who in their right mind would waste $300 for this piece of shit????
I'm glad I own all my games on physical
Is it cheaper than the normal £400 hunk of bing bing wahoo shit? If not I don't care
If this is your cat, please pet it for me.
what about the switch pro?
>oldfag
lol faggot
>even after closed the studio, they released a collection of previous wipeout games
>the closest thing to a new f-zero or playing the old ones is being included in the mini-SNES
give up user
I never said I didn't see this selling well. Of course it's going to sell well. It's just that everyone who will buy it are fucking stupid and are wasting $200 for 15 year old hardware and shitty graphics and games.
Pokemon is fucking worth 94 Billion dollars and NIntendo owns 1/3 of that alone.
>studio gets shut down so no wipeout games will be made again

You could buy Switch hardware in 2004?
You are an actual dipshit
that's something, but still a joke. I'd rather buy a gba or DS for like 20 quid and play substantially better games.
>people like good graphics and high framerates
Average player doesn't even know what framerate is. You have perception bend by Yea Forums shitposting. Autists who want 16k in 200fps just buy a custom PC. Consoles are for people who play FIFA, Just Dance and Mortal Kombat. We are minority.
I suck cock. Long cocks, short cocks, fat cocks, thin cocks, white cocks, black cocks, as long as it's a dick I'll smoke it till the end of days.

The best part is when they try to justify the $20/year with NES ROMs.
I can see mom's buying this for their children because it's the cheaper option, not realising it has no TV support. This is such a confusing product.
Could they not have fixed the trash analogue placement?
thanks for proving me right btw
I didn't justify it, the other guy is just saying Sony's is a better value when it's the same kikery selling the consumer their own internet service, but it's triple the price or more annually.
Really not that confusing. It's a more portable "mini" Switch that costs $100 less and doesn't come with a dock, so no TV output.
This is more straightforward than the New 3DS and the Wii U.
