SWITCH LITE CONFIRMED FACTS

>>games like xenoblade are forever gimped because they look like shit in handheld
Implying that they wont look better due to running at the same resolution but on a smaller screen meaning a higher PPI

Its literally just a switch 2DS for kids, they're releasing this because pokemon is on its way and they need a cheaper, harder to break version of the switch on the market.

Does it still have a fan?

>>games like xenoblade are forever gimped because they look like shit in handheld
nothing of value etc etc

i'm not getting it since I already have a switch, but what were people thinking?

Kids dont care about pokemon after nintendo removed the national dex

It has no HD rumble.

Yeah I think its alright, not sure if I'd say I'm a fan though

Yes both

NINTENDO SHWITCH SHITE

I will keep with my OG switch playing portable isn’t fun too big.

>Kids
>caring about dexs
user, I...

Does it have a reflective display?

Is it still LCD? If so, I’m not buying one

wait, what?

Kids don't care about the National Dex at all and their parents won't even know about that controversy, the people that are upset about National Dex are all like 20+ year old pokemon fans from Gen 1-2 that still care about Catching Them All

Cool. Homebrew community probably can restore the tv out function to some degree and it will be useful to have gamepad support.

In here asking the big question:
Can I access my save data and digital games from Switch Big on this thing and vice versa without a full system transfer? I'd love to have this as a true handheld/portable but I'm not giving up TV play either. I'm guessing a big no

>there are people that actually believe this
Lmao, only the low functioning autists you find browsing /vp/ care about that shit.
Kids won't give a shit and the next pokemon will sell amazingly well despite how shitty it looks.

Do they now? One could make a point about them not minding Pokemon from generations they didn't grow up with not making the cut, but several Pokemon from gens 6 and 7 will probably be cut, so...

I wouldn't count on that one, pokemon has been selling less and less every generation, and these changes are pissing off the core fanbase.
Kids and normies will still get it, but they've upset a large portion of the dedicated fans that used to buy all three versions, go to tournaments, that kinda shit.

>incompatible software
Which ones?

Source on the battery life claim.

It supports the use of them, but are not included. You’d need to buy additional controllers to play games that require motion controls.

As it stands Animal Crossing, Splatoon, and Pokemon data is not cloud compatible, so I'm highly skeptical of this, but optimistic

Kids and normies is their target market. You think they care about tournaments and losers? LOL

It's all fun and games until your controller starts to drift

I'm just saying, this game will probably sell the least out of the pokemon generations, just like Sun/Moon sold less than X/Y which sold less than Black/White and so on

This one will sell well because people are going to inflate their expectations because it's a semi "open world" pokemon people have been clamoring for and it's the first installment on the switch.
I fully expect the next installment on the switch to do much worse

bait

i rather have a tv only switch or an upgraded main console

Read the OP article you cockslurping toddler.

So, you won't be able to use the motion control gimmick a lot of Switch games have, right?
Not that's a loss, but it's kinda weird.

Not when you consider BW2

>it's the first installment on the switch.

Attached: 1466376924654.jpg (627x522, 237K)

So pretty much no reason to buy it for anyone who owns the switch already

You can if you buy joycons separately

Why did they remove tv out? I'd have been absolutely sold if it wasn't removed.

>Not when you consider BW2
seriously retard? why would you do that? they are sequels in the truest sense.

>>Smaller processor dye, meaning higher power efficiency
>processor dye
>dye
Are you retarded?

it's not, considering xy didn't have a third version, and if you insist on comparing using third versions sm achieved nearly the same amount of copies sold as bw despite being on a system that sold way less.

It's 100% made for children (actual children) in anticipation of Pokemon Sword and Shield. This is the 2DS of the Switch. It will probably be thicker and the D-pad and left stick will probably be harder to drift, just like the 2DS being made for children and people with retard hands.

Non spinoff
You know what I meant
Calm your autism

If Nintendo would make it easy to remain synced between a regular Switch and a Lite, I'd consider buying one... but we know that they won't, many of their most important games (like Animal Crossing) don't even support cloud saving.

OG Switch is terrible for portability, it’s too big, too heavy, has no d-pad and the entire thing feels flimsy.

Switch Lite has the potential to be the most comfy handheld of all time.

LGPE wasn't a spinoff, it was Yellow Version Switch

But... can you use them in Splatoon? lol. Wtf.

LGBT isn't a spinoff. It's going to have connectivity with Sword & Shield.

1 2 Switch and Mario Party require detached joycons.

>No TV out capability
Why would anyone buy this?
Kills the whole concept of that piece of shit.

>everyone acts like this is the best thing ever
>second hand sellers and retailers drop the price of the original even more to the point where a brandnew switch is barelly more expensive then the lite

No wonder you're unemployed. You lack basic analytic abilities.

dude. did you even watch the video or read the article?

This seems highly unnecessary. I guess it's strictly a kid thing, at least the 2ds had the gimmick of not having a shitty hinge. This has the gimmick of permanently bolted on downgraded Joycons with a worse screen and no tv out.

Great. Thank fuck I got a launch model that can be hacked.

It says 4 hours on BOTW vs 3 hours on the regular switch

>No TV output
This is the only fuckup. The rest is bearable.
Also I like the bigger buttons and the D-pad

25% aka 30 more minutes.

RIP anyone who buys xenoblade with this.

Switch Pro fucking when? Yuzu progress fucking when?

They likely mean that there is no AUTO brightness.
Verge is the only source that states not being able to adjust the brightness, if it were true I think it would be bigger news.

It's somehow even worse for portability because you can't detach the joy cons.

>the best game is the worst selling
Pokemon fans have no taste

>Why would anyone but this?

Same reason the 2DS sold tens of millions of units, shit for brains. It's a cheap system for kids that are always on the go.

Children who want to play Pokemon and their parents don't want to drop a fat 300 for gimmicks they otherwise would be fine without.

But DP isn't the worst selling

Didn't want to pay 300 dollars just for SMTV and Astral Chains so this is looking good. Hope they run well.

Because it will catch fire if there's no fan cooling it while in TV mode.

>no stand so you can't actually use it with other controllers without coming up with some elaborate solution

Yeah but how. The thing doesnt have a kick stand does it?

user, third gens have always been split since they're their own thing. And if you did that your point will still be amiss.

Yeah the casing looks thicker.

Verge are hacks and you're all retards for quoting a Kotaku-tier outlet. Everyone else is reporting that there is no auto-brightness, not a total lack of brightness controls.

You might want to wait until those games come out to see comparison videos at least. Astral Chains looks like it will be very resource heavy and might end up in Xenoblade 2 territory

Stop comparing this to the 2DS retard, i get that you’re butthurt since you’re an OGfag but it’s just embarrassing, cope.

>only $200
That's pretty cheap. I'll probably just get one to keep next to my bed.

>Using the default stand when the Hori stand is a thing

Children in current year do not even know what Nintendo is lol.

that's literally what "supports" means, you retard

kids don't have brains retard

so what can I actually play on this with a comfortable fps?

It literally is for kids. I have no idea why you think otherwise.

Its the switch lite. Just wait for the switch pro already.

>implying DP is better than platinum

>cheaper version with removed features aimed for kids
Yep, this is the Switch's 2DS. Why are you so mad that you're a dumbass that can't read marketability?

This. Why shell out $300 or so for this, a game, and online when you can get a used 2/3DS and used game for less than $100? Plus, people would trust their kids more with a DS than a fragile tablet.

I'm a teacher. You'd be surprised by how many kids play Fortnite on the switch.

Platinum is the best but we're technically going for gens... with that said I'll argue DP Mt Coronet > Platinum casual corenet

>in during fags getting mad over literally nothing
We always suspected there would be a handheld only Switch for Pokefags. Who cares?

Dont see what the problem with switch lite is. Its going to be the inferior version, the switch is still going to be sold along side it, it is more affordable expanding the player base. I mean theres literally no disadvantages to this, and considering the player base expansion it will make the switch a more attractive prospect to devs

You shouldn't.

As someone pointed out in the other thread:
Breath of the Wild and the Switch released the same day.
Link's Awakening and Switch Lite are releasing on the same day.
Breath of the Wild 2 and Switch Pro could potentially release on the same day.

So this is the power of people not going outside.

HA HA HA HA

Only 33 year old virgins who play Pokemon care.

The 2DS sold tens of millions, mostly to children who's parents didn't want their kids getting bad eyes and breaking the hinges. This is pretty much that.
Also a LOT of kids play Fortnite on switch

literally fewer features than the PSP 2000 12 years ago!

>people would trust their kids more with a DS than a fragile tablet.
People started trusting their kids with literal tablets long before the Switch was a thing

It has motion controls apparently

Close, but most of the old gen 1-2 fans have already moved on. The series has been trash for ages, so I've stopped caring. It seems to mostly be young-mid 20s that grew up with gen 3-5 that are upset over it all. Gen 6-7 kids don't give two shits.

>it worked once to pander to the low end market so it will surely work again!
yeah not this time.

Only feature removed is TV and the whole point of the Lite is being portable.
Literally nobody gives a fuck about HD rumble.

How is it aimed at kids exactly?

It's not aimed towards you. It's for kids that don't have a switch so their parents can buy them a cheaper, smaller model just in time for the new Pokemon.

>attractive young people out having fun
>stop having fun to play vidya
Who are they targeting exactly? At least the switch reveal showed it being used in practical places (save for the guys that stopped playing real BB to play is on switch).

>No TV out capability
Nintendo are Jews, that's all I have to say.

Even with a PSP you could buy $10 cables for a TV connection. With Switch Lite it'll be a hassle due to the prorietary tech (even though it's USB-C) and the obvious protections that are there - no guarantee that a 3rd party cable won't somwhow brick your system like 3rd party bases did on the Switch.
This also means there's no boost on TV play even if you manage to go around the protections, it's always and forever portable clock speeds - with portable resolutions on your "hacked" TV play.

It has the same fucking problem the joycons have that dissuade me from using it in handheld mode in the first place; the the layout and proximity of the analog stick and buttons means you can fucking lay your thumb across B and Y without it pressing up against the stick. I was hoping they'd adjust the position or distance or something but no

Ruined before it's even out

>not dockable
into the trash
I'm not in the market for this anyway because I already have a Switch that mostly stays docked, but this is still a baffling decision. Then again, it is Nintendo.

This picture is slightly sad because Ape Escape, LBP and Parappa have been dead for years

>how is a small, cheap, colorful portable system aimed towards kids

Are you actually retarded?

Look at that D pad, so lovely.

It looks fucking tiny.

I will now predict the future and say that based on how well the Lite does, the more likely Nintendo will release a Switch Pro to coincide with Scarlet and the PS5. The regular Switch will be the midrange model, Lite will be the cheaper portable option, and a Switch Pro console would sit in your living room like a GameCube with the best performance out of all of them.

What is even more confusing is they removed the stand but it is still compatible with additional joycons / controllers. What the fuck are you supposed to do, exactly? Lay it flat on a table? Buy another fucking stand for the thing? The cost is going to come right back to $300 pretty fucking fast. This is a weird and very specific market they are trying to target here.

>It was the sync causing it
Prove it.

Well at least you think Gen 4 is the best instead of 6 or 7. It's in my top 3 gens with 3 and 5

>How is it aimed at kids exactly?
By being cheaper of course. Parents are more likely to buy it for their kids. Just like the 2DS.

ITT overweight 30 year old men grumble over a product designed for 5 year olds

Or, you could just continue playing on a normal Switch if you have it. If portability is not your thing, or you greatly prefer TV mode, Switch Lite is 100% not for you.

Unprove it.

They brought back the D pad for this model which shows they are paying some attention to controls, but we’ll have to wait for people to report back whether the sticks have any significant physical changes. Stick drift can and will be the end of this model.

Unless you really want a dpad or to shove it in a pocket, no

>Weird and specific
Is it? People who bitched there wasn't a version that was dockless. He calls it dedicated handheld. Though it's retarded to have made it when it defeats the purpose of the Switch in the name alone.

Yes? Why wouldn't it be? I didn't expect a dock or detachable joycon, but why wouldn't it have the ability to use a dock if it were available. I don't care because I was never going to buy one anyway, but I think it's silly to have something with the Switch brandname that can't fucking switch in any way whatsoever.

You know damn well that Nintendo will have accessories for that.

Yes we do, faggot.

They're not. The only reason the d-pad was removed in the first place was because of the "here's your controller, bro" gimmick shit. Not that you can't take the controller off, there's no reason to make the d-pad into face buttons as well.

It still has the dock notch in the back. This will eventually get dock support calling it. Wouldn't be surprised if it works with a modified dock.

>Or, you could just continue playing on a normal Switch if you have it.
Why would I pay more for a shittier system though? Switch Lite has the Tegra 1.5 in it, that's why you have better battery times.
Both are still extremely shit systems, no way I'll ever get either in the first place. They're already emulator-status anyway.

I do appreciate how you say Lite is 100% NOT for me, rather than Switch being 100% for me if I want TV mode, you're being honest that it is shit as a homeconsole (as well as being shit as a portable, considering they're releasing the Lite at all)

Nintendo’s end game is for everyone to buy a Switch Lite for portable use and then a Switch Pro for your TV. How will they get away with selling the same console twice?

I never said I think this thing is bad. Children is definitely a target demo compared to the standard Switch. Look at how they postured 3DS as a kids system for the last three years and now this is it's replacement to coincide with shitty nuPokemon. I'd get it if I didn't prefer using my cpu monitor and didn't already own a Switch.

>Coherent argument
You made an argument?
You still have to sync the controller even when it's wired. If you played a precision controller on PC, you'd know that.

Think this'll at least be able to connect through a series of weird ass connectors/3rd party dock if I were to want to dock this thing

Or they make a workaround with their USB C magic just to prevent that.

DS Lite didn't run game boy games.

Imagine having a regular Switch to play on the go now, that bulky heavy flimsy peace of shit with no d-pad.

lmao

Why would you ever buy this over a regular switch. If it's the price difference than just buy used

I dont understand. It's just the switch but worse

Why on earth is there no TV support via a mini dock or anything? Why even give the option to connect more wireless controllers? There’s not even a kickstand, so people gotta lean the Lite against a book or something and huddle around and squint at a 5.5 inch display to play Mariokart or Smash.

While the development is exciting there are a few things I'm a bit concerned about.

1) while cloud save back up is available to some games, some such as smash, splatoon, and a few other nintendo games do not support this feature. Will this mean I will have to start over from the beginning/regrind in these games? That's something nintendo should probably look into

2) Given the hardware failure rate of joycon's is anyone else worried that drift would result in you needing to send your switch in for repairs constantly? I know people have said you can use compressed air to clean out the joycons but that really is a temporary fix that kind of stops working after a while...

>Yea Forums is one person
I rarely take mine out of the dock and have no problem with it when I do. That said, if I was a primary handheld user, I'd still think it's shitty you can't dock this one.

That's literally something you can adjust by software

Neither did the original DS, but both models ran GBA games.

>No TV out capability
How does this even make sense, they literally get that for free with the SOC and the USB-C port.

rather have no screen tv only thing

I go outside more often than 99.9% of user here lol.
I have never seen a single kid with a Switch outside but a few man-children. All the children I know play Fortnite on their phone or PS4/PC. I am from Germany though. Maybe it is different in the US/UK. I actually only know one person who bought a Switch and that person is 30 and mostly uses it to play in bed or on the plane(it never fell out the window, so far he was lucky).

But that still makes sense you dumb fuck

Does it really mean that much to people? I never transferred Pokemon as a kid. I would just catch a new team and that region's legendaries. I thought it was only the competitive autists that needed to bring their perfect team to every game.

I´m fucking tired of waiting, I want to play Smash&MK8 with my friends but I don´t want to buy an inferior console, months before it´s replaced by a better version

Yes it did you fucking moron. It was the DSi that couldn't

I’m still waiting for you to give me an actual reason the Switch Lite is for kids, seething OGfag.

Thanks for beta testing though.

Cheaper portable-only Pokemon machine intended for parents to buy for their kids. It's the 2DS 2.0

cool games you got there
watching nintendo's barebones presentation that included like 2 new games and the rest was about games that were already announced or already released games

>You still have to sync the controller even when it's wired.
No, it connects automatically. The joycon stick drift issue has nothing to do with wireless connectivity, it's a hardware fault. Which is why replacing the stick fixes it.

Nobody made this question, so I will:
Could I connect a Switch Lite with a tv-docked Switch and play it like a WiiU?

>$200 switch that does both TV and handheld
Thanks Nintendo for lowering the price of your existing model

You can adjust the brightness but only manually.
"Despite the change in size, the resolution for the Switch Lite’s display remains the same 720p as the original Switch, though it no longer has a brightness sensor, so you can only adjust the screen brightness manually."

Its cause you'll be SWITCHING your console in due to warranty because joycon drift.

Who even needs a dock, all you need should be an appropriate USB-C cable.

SWITCH LAUNCHED ALONGSIDE BREATH OF THE WILD.

I will have no words

>Hori cheap shit
lmao

Is the price of a 5.5in 720p display in the current year more or less than 50 cents?

Don't question Nintendo hardware, it just is.

just dance, many people buy it for switch

Certainly looks less awkward to hold. Reminds me of the Atari Lynx 2

its a possibility that the switch lite will have better performance and even look better than the og switch in handheld mode.

>No kickstand
Well, this piece of shit abortion has a protrusion/indent on the back like the original has for the dock, so I imagine it'd connect to this fucker right here (pic related) so in a way you can have tabletop mode working.

Attached: adjustable_charging_stand.jpg (1429x1032, 93K)

It is Nintendo, they need something that artificially makes the other product attractive. Nothing new with that shitty greedy company. Same with Sony.

Who cares. My Switch hasn't once come out of the dock since it unboxed it.

It's TV only for me. Handhelds are retarded. Go play a phone game if you want to game on the bus.

I go out a lot but I only see kids witj Switches when I grocery shopping once a month. It's ALWAYS kids being brought grocery shopping by their moms. I live in a shit third world country too so I assume in the developed world, it's more common.

Probably gonna pick this up when the color selection improves desu. Maybe an LE or something. Was honestly waiting for this announcement

This.
I have never seen anyone using a Switch in public, not once. I assume college kids may use them, but I have been out of college for 10 years so not sure.

I don't understand why people keep memeing about pokemon sales declining. The sales for initial installments of a given generation might as well be flat around 15 million units. It's especially obvious once you consider that gen 1 and 2 are during the pokemania era. It's the initial sales that are the anomaly due to being a global fad at the time. Pokemon so far has been both safe AND bizarrely high performing.

Also note that selling 15 million units on a bad day means outperforming most of the industry.

Seeing how the new 3ds was treated I doubt a pro switch will be worth it If like 5 games take advantage of it.

yeh i can see that

you do realize a pro version of the switch will still be weaker than a ps4/x1, right?

So should I just get a regular switch then? I don’t want to wait another year to play Mario maker 2

>Link's Awakening and Switch Lite are releasing on the same day.
Huh
That's pretty smart
Given all the handheld-oriented games that are coming out in 2019Q4/2020Q1, releasing a handheld only version is actually pretty smart.

Attached: animal crossing sales.gif (568x341, 761K)

You get to SWITCH between handheld and home consoles. Nintendo is truely a genius mastermind.

Does it have a better processor? Does Xenoblade 2 still look like shit?
Are they selling me the same console with less features or they actually put any effort?

I think a big problem that could crop up is there are a ton of games that were already hard to read in handheld mode for the last switch. Hyrule Warriors and even puyo puyo tetris are kind of tiny.

Yes it did. I had an original DS and I played FireRed on the Lite. Are you thinking of the DSi maybe?
Because you are intended to play Smash and Mariokart via local wireless. They are already pretty rough on the Switch's screen tabletop.
Nintendo never announces lots of games at E3 since they have directs year round and go big on the showfloor itself so any actual E3 games need to be announced prior or people on the floor would leak all the stuff they saw at the Nintendo booth setting up.
correct

I don't think I understand what you expected. More games are coming out, whether they are newly announced or announced before shouldn't matter, because they're still games to look forward to.

>home only
why do people think this?
it would literally be a new console altogether since past games would mostly be incompatible with the new version

>many switch units have joycon drifting issues
>lol let's just make one without any
i guess that's an improvement...?

The New 3DS looked better than the 3DS XL, but I suppose that games not optimized for handheld with small text will suffer.

XB2 will continue to look like shit since Monolith Soft are either always working on another Nintendo game or one of their own projects. XB2 won't get optimization patches at this point

>Switch
If it doesn't switch, what's the point?
I get the marketing, but more than a Switch Lite, it's a Non-Switch.

If that was a feature, it would've been major enough to warrant inclusion in the video presentation, so no.

Huh, didn't think about this. Could also use one if those handheld video out things too, but at that point might as well have just bought the real thing.

>it's a hardware fault
I literally compared to a PC controller connection you fucking genius. Because your argument only works if you prove
>They'll use the exact same hardware structure as separate device controllers on a true handheld.
Which was my point the entire time.
And never mind, wireless isn't software either. You can't PATCH in wireless.

>No TV out capability
What the FUCK is this shit

>Does Xenoblade 2 still look like shit?
All of the frames and pixels won't help those embarrassing animations.

>No Switch Heavy version where it's just a home console with proper controller included and slightly beefed up in terms of start up time, game load times, SSD and more.

I literally wanted the complete opposite of this and I thought that Nintendo would do it so I never bought a Switch. Did not think they would go the complete opposite route for some reason. Oh well looks like I'll remain not owning a switch.

>>No kickstand
When it's confirmed to be able to use joycon, this is pretty stupid.

You kay as well make the switch from OG to lite and pro at that point.

How's that

Wait for the price of a used Switch to drop

The Joycon issue was due to the joystick itself I though

>games that require motion controls.
*on 2 separate controllers at once. it's not like gyro has been removed from the console itself

Switch GAMER

>implying they won't use the same stick parts
This went from you claiming the Switch's stick issues are all wireless, to "the switch 2 won't have the same issue probably".

they never do that kind of thing though

And to the surprise of fucking nobody.

It was pretty obvious they would come out with something like this, considering that one of their bigger system sellers is coming out in four months. This literally always happens.

That's a price to pay for the many special boys that asked for a piece of shit model like this. I'm surprised there's no Zoom button (though you can enable the Zoom feature in System Settings). Be sure to make it your trusty partner for this Switch model. HAHAHAHAHAHA

More intense games would be able to run at higher resolutions and frame rates like Doom or Witcher 3. They wouldn’t need to dynamically change the resolution to keep up the frames.

yeah but I'm betting with the cpu die shrink it won't have a fan, and thus no clock-up switching which is why they arent doing tv out

I just want a switch Pro or something that will run bloodstained in 60fps and doesn't look like dogshit

Its 25% :)

Wait for Microsoft and Sony to release their next gen consoles, the Nintendo will release the Switch Pro so they’ll look competitive as well.

I noticed this as soon as they showed the back and quickly wondered if it could fit in and it looks like it should. Plus it can connect to other controllers so you should be able to use the Pro Controller and Joy-Con for this thing, the latter of which has been confirmed to get around playing Super Mario Party and 1-2 Switch. Should we spread the word about it?

You can do a reasonable job recouping costs if you sell your switch the moment a pro is confirmed, instead of waiting until gamestop lets you trade it in for pocket lint.
Unless you're so jewish you absolutely NEED every last shekel, why not just jump in? A year (or more, or forever) from now you might not even want to play mario maker.

If the original battery is 100 minutes, 30 minutes more is 30% more.

This feels like a repeat of the Gameboy Micro. A bunch of features lost for simply making the thing smaller. Say what you will about the 2DS; it didn't pretend to be more than what it was.

Is it hackable though?

Didn't they say they were developing a more powerful version

Why does the Switch Lite look so cheap and low quality? Nintendo seemed to have taken the 2DS approach rather than the DS Lite approach.

You just assumed I meant wireless only (which doesn't make any sense when PC and arcade controllers need to be calibrated too)

To the exact same thing you said from the start.

This was always the version that was speculated because normalfags and basedguzzling maniacs have been screaming about "I can play it on the gooooo :D" forever. Making a cheaper and shittier Switch to attract more of those people, along with children, always seemed like a smart plan. Making a proper home console never seemed likely.

Joke on you

Anyone that doesn't care about the hybrid aspect of the Switch of course.

So wow it’s fucking nothing.

It still has a heat vent at the top, so there's probably still a fan in it.

20% if you play the most demanding game is the best case scenario

No it doesn't. It plays GBA.
Fire red is a GBA game.

The DS Lite may have looked nice but it was built like a piece of shit.

They are developing it

It's actually something.

Basedtendo

The only real problem with the DS Lite was its terrible hinge.

>It didn't pretend
>It's literally called the Lite. As in light features.
???????????

It's for the people who need their Pokemon fix.
Parents can feel way more justified spending $260 + tip on a Pokemon machine instead of $360 + tip.

But you can play the regular switch strictly portable as well. Can also hack it to run at docked specs when in handheld so you get better framerate/resolution

>>Better battery life (about 30% more)

whoever buys this pile of trash needs to be shot in sight for even considering

That hinge was a piece of shit in the DS Lite. Worst ever.

your fault for being dumb enough to replace a whole controller over that

The regular DS doesn't play Game Boy games.

>the taste I can SEE

I think the reason for this is them getting rid of the massive heatsink from the regular Switch that put in work during docked overclocking sessions. It's not a simple matter of including tv out, it's a matter of them legitimately optimizing thermal performance only for the portable mode. it still sucks, I really wanted that dpad and would have gladly bought a separate dock. Switch Pro it is, I guess

Literally suggesting kids be shot for wanting this.

And the terrible d-pad.
And the terrible shoulder buttons.
And the terrible volume slider.

>they've upset a large portion of the dedicated fans that used to buy all three versions, go to tournaments, that kinda shit.
So what, they are fucking nerds, no no gives a fuck about them, its all about getting them normalfaggots money

literally every handheld but the switch has attached controller you people are retarded

Hahaha suck my fucking dick, dude.

The DS Lite had at least one more feature than the original DS, and it looked nicer too.

>The only feature is no tv

>no detachable joycons
>no hd rumble
>no motion controls
>no tabletop stand
>no adjustable brightness
>having to buy 2 pairs joy con controllers (total 4) if you want to play Super Mario Party, or 1 pair joy con controller(s) to play 1-2-Switch

Its dedicated to handheld only. To be on par with a regular switch youd need to spend 200$+13$+80$+80$ equaling 373$+tip if you wanted to be on par with a regular switch. This dedicated to kids because no one in their right mind would waste that much money, might as well get a regular Switch youre only saving yourself 7$.
>whats that 13$ for baka!
You gonna be a fag and say "just look over shoulder bro.", get a Hori stand assfag

The dpad on launch models was near unusable. Near straight up can't do diagonals. They had to revise it after launch it was so bad

xenoblade 2 looka like shit because the devs did a terrible job optimizing the game for handheld mode, thats not gonna change with the lite.

sure and their parents with them

I don't understand. It's just a switch but literally worse in every way.
Why does this exist?

Attached: 1560031124017.png (602x452, 390K)

It's an architecture issue
Currently, the Switch is built using an ARM architecture chipset, which was designed specifically for use in mobile devices. ARM has been used in basically every handheld console to date.
Game software that run on ARM architecture typically have to be optimized for it since things like cycles and threading work differently than in home consoles. It's why, despite the Switch technically pumping out the same number of operations as a 360 when undocked, you can get shittier ports on it like the LA Noire one. IT has to do with optimization for the particular way one chipset is designed to handle tasks like rasterization or rendering.
So, the issue is that for any Switch Pro to exist that plays Switch Classic games, it HAS to use ARM architecture as well. Which means it will inherently be using a mobile chipset. At which point, there would be no incentive to make it docked-only.
BUT, if they decided to go with a more traditional type of chipset like those used in the Xbox and Playstation, then all previous games would either have to be re-optimized for the new console (unlikely) or would just only be playable on the Classic and the Lite

You forgot:
>have to choose between wired internet or charging

They could lock things to 720p if need be.

Looks like the winning move here is to wait for the inevitable Switch Pro in 2020.

It's so kids can get a cheap console to play Pokemon on, that's actually the only reason this thing exists.

>No kick stand
>No way to charge
>No fucking point

Seriously this.

According to rumors(the same ones that talked about a lite coming out), the lite hits first, and then a bit later they will announce the SwitchXL or whatever, that is a hardware upgrade but costs more

Might wait for that

>original switch games run like shit on tv
>"lol if we just remove the external connection then everything will look amazing on this dick sized screen"
nintendo are literally based

>At which point, there would be no incentive to make it docked-only.
Give it active cooling and overclock the fuck out of it
The chip is so underclocked in handheld mode its ridiculous

I found the next public shooter right here.

>dick sized screen
I'm sorry you have small peener.

Still, not everyone sees the docked thing as a reason to buy the switch. This just targets the people who want one strictly for being a handheld. The cheaper price will also be a deal breaker for some. Its literally the same deal as the 2DS. A cheaper console with less features than the original.

15% if you're not in airplane mode
:^)

Because it's cheaper. Some people never want to play in TV mode and feel they wouldn't get as much out of a regular Switch.

>no way to charge

Are you fucking stupid?

Why are you fat fucks arguing about this? Millions of parents will buy it for their kids regardless. This isn't for you.

Should i sell my Switch? I'm ONLY playing in handheld mode and want something smaller and lighter
I also buy all my games physically and don't care about hacking it

It was also only 30 dollars cheaper than a 100.

I'll see you boys on Switch Pro... AKA PC.

Was that the one where the volume slider was OS based and not physical hardware? Or am I confusing my consoles. I never owned a Lite, only a phat.

It's less features for less money. There's a considerable market for kids and their parents who want a cheaper portable-only Pokemon console. The 2DS proved that.

Of course they're going to stick with ARM. But with better cooling, smaller dyes, and a better GPU you could easily have a somewhat-to-greatly improved system. Hell they've made the current model more powerful just through firmware and overclocking already. They could even ship an enhanced dock like everyone thought was going to be the case initially that provides even more cooling/power.

as long as D-Pad isn't ASS like the Pro Controller, they will be gold

that explains a lot

It was a physical slider, but felt like it was either a whisper or max volume with no in-bwtween.

Processing chips have different dye sets. The Tegra X1 GPU used in the Switch has had two dye updates since the Switch launched, meaning its now smaller, and therefore more power efficient. Chip dyes are where the actual spacing of the electronic parts on the silicon have a smaller distance between them. Original Switch GPU has a 15mm dye, new one has a 11mm dye. Who's retarded now?

>No way to charge

$200 and you can play it until the battery runs out

based retard

for mediocre performance gains and terrible performance on many 3rd party ports. you retards still realize the pro version will be a switch, right? it still will be weaker than the x1/ps4 due to limitations of its form factor and mobile chipset

people still hating on funkos? smdh

Not Europe, retard.

It is the best but unlike some fags I think 6 is also good. It's 7 that's shit as well as 2 and 3.

Better sell it since the Switch Lite seems to be what you're looking for.

It's smaller, more durable, less money.
So in other words perfect for kids.

there's NO SENSOR for AUTO BRIGHTNESS, but you can still adjust it manually you dumbass

>dye
how does a different color improve performance?

What does die shrink even mean

DS Lite had a regular slider. You might be thinking of the wireless connection slider on the original 3DS models, the new 3DS models replaced those with a software option to save space and prevent more people from using it to disconnect in online games.

Red makes things go faster, but the Switch Lite doesn’t come in red.

metallic red when?

Especially when Pokemon doesn't seem all that expensive to produce in the first place.
Nintendo said that Breath of the Wild was (onr of) the most expensive games they ever published/funded and that only needed 2 million sales to make a profit.

Regular switch is flimsy and not a good handheld.
I wanted something rugged and with a dpad.
I would have upgraded to this, but removing TV mode is fucking stupid.

nice legs bro, like a dude with some hair on his meat on his bones

Unlikely they'd ever need to do that since GF is probably one of the richest devs on earth. Pokemon as a franchise is among the biggest on the planet and GF has been shittinbg success after success with it for like 20 years.

They keep the cost of Pokemon games down because they know people will still buy it in huge numbers either way so they can just make free extra profit

why are ergonomics such a lost art when it comes to consumer electronics? this barely fixes any of the annoyances of the switch in handheld mode.

There’s no TV support probably because they’d never sell the rest of their stock of the original. No one would buy it.

>24 million sales last gen

You can adjust brightness manually you fucking retard.

What the fuck is 12 Switch you mongoloid?

Conducted about this.one one hand I'm not sure if the pro controller will work with it on the other I only play my switch undocked and that mint color is perfect.

No dude the build quality wasn't great, hinges were poorly designed. D-pad is extremely mushy, shoulder buttons and prone to failure and there's a lot more wrong with it. Trust me I've done so many repairs on these things, easily the worst DS ever engineering. Even worse than the original phat with its GBA SP hinge that some dumb fuck thought would be able to handle the load from the top shell.

kids don't give a shit about pokemon at all. fortnite is their "pokemon." it's the nu-male bugmen who will throw their money at any garbage game freak shits out as long as pikachu and charizard are in it.

Child sad
Nintendo release cheaper portable Switch that can play Mario and Pokemon
Mom buys it for child
Nintendo makes profit

It is significantly smaller. At least it’s not Wii U gamepad levels of huge.

And they'd probably charge $40 for the USB to HDMI cable

>love the color scheme
>it's ruined by twitter and discord trannies
end me

this, you have no idea how many people squeaked on this board about just having handheld-only switch that's smaller (as if it wasn't already small). and now that this is out, there's a full boycott in effect

>I disagree. I don't have any problems with mine when it's on TV.
Dreadful performance since it's a literal tablet, most japanese 3rd parties run like absolute shit. No qay I'd ever buy DQ Builders 2 on the Switch for example, and it's not like I'm a graphics/performance whore, but literal 10fps contant is too much. There's no reason to not buy the PS4 versions (or rare PC version that releases day1) instead.
You also have to pay extra for an SD card since the standard storage lasts 0 days.
You also have to pay extra for a real controller with a motherfucking D-pad.
You can't connect headphones to the controllers, something that has been standard for 15 years now, making the set-up tricky if you aren't close to the TV and use wired headphones all the time like I do (otherwise it's the 3rd time I'd have to spend extra money to buy wireless headphones JUST for the switch).
AFAIK there's no way to turn on/off the console remotely. I haven't touched a power button frequently since 6th gen and I refuse to.
Online is absolute shit, STILL friendcodes, unusable party system, spotty cloud saves.

There.

>Could you please explain how they're emulator status already?
Some of its biggest games are already playable on its emulator, so no reason to buy one. Since MonHun jumped to real platforms now that's 1 less reason I have to give a shit about Nintendo systems (FUCK the 3DS and being forced to play half a decade of MonHun on it), next Etrian Odyssey not confirmed to be Nintendo exclusive, so SMTV is the one and only Switch game I have any interest in. But I have no problem in waiting a few months until I can emulate it - everyone already waited years anyway since the announcement happened too soon, so a few extra months is nothing.

Are there currnet game on the Switch that CAN'T be played in handheld mode? The video is making is sound like there will be games that the new console won't be able to play. Can someone elaborate on this for me? I've been waiting for a new Switch model to come out before purchasing one for myself.

...less and less Millennials actually own TVs anymore. Have any of you talked to normies with their 'wellness' beliefs and actual active lifestyles?

This is my first time out from under my rock this year. Please understand

jesus how does it sell so well

>dude just buy joy-cons separately LOL
At that point why the fuck would you not just buy the normal switch?

Its just a term used to describe the preset space between the processors on a silicon chip. 15nm between, 11nm between, etc. It's a retarded name, I know. Basically, the smaller the chip, the less energy it requires, meaning longer battery life.

Mario Party

they are intentionally gimping this thing specifically to make the normal model not seem like shit.

there are 0 hits to it's actual performance(in fact it performs better due to less power consumption), they just made quality of life changes like making the controllers non-detachable, no TV-out(despite being incredibly easy to do) etc etc

if they didn't this would literally just be a better version of the switchfor less money. When you actually stop and think about it, how does making the controllers non-detachable, or not giving it a tv-out, somehow knock 100 bucks off the price?

it doesn't, Nintendo is just willing to take a bit less profit in order to hook in all the people still on the fence about buying a switch, and get them into the ecosystem,.

don't worry user he's retarded

>flimsy and not a good handheld
Then get a good handheld. The Lite. The current Switch is a compromise to enable TV out and you have a sub 100 IQ if you can't process it.

>Despite the change in size, the resolution for the Switch Lite’s display remains the same 720p as the original Switch, though it no longer has a brightness sensor, so you can only adjust the screen brightness manually.)

It's a different spelling.

No it's the same, I was in my first year of uni in 2017 so I took mine on the bus very often (had a grey one so no dodgy looks), I mostly recall kids looking at it and asking their parents for one but to this day I have not seen anyone else

>not hackable
>can't output to TV or monitor
no thanks

Seems like a large amount of them have yellowed screens today for some reason. A late Korean Lite I have still looks good but another has heavy yellowing on both screens.

Its die not dye

there is literally no reason to compromise though you retard just use the fucking USB-C port it's not fucking magic fuck

Even if I agreed, that's beside the point. Clearly the market has tolerated the performance in docked mode as it presently exists. There's no guarantee it would continue to tolerate it at lower resolutions.

My point is more options does not always mean good business.

Im calling it, Jewtendo will release a "special" dock for the lite. Actually, measurement wise, the lite wouldn't fit in a normal dock, because of it's shorter length the sticks would prevent it from sliding down into the dock. A smaller dock would actually be needed.

the wii u gamepad was actually comfy.

Are they legit retarded?

How play that retard game anyway?

Can you imagine if true virtual console is a Lite exclusive? Just saw Dreamcastguy's video and that would be a super jew move by Nintendo.

>not hackable
You don't know that

Nah, learn to type properly.

Couldn't you just mod the ability back in yourself with the right tools?

Im afraid it will be just future games, like how hyrule warriors was almost unplayable on the original 3DS

None

Well excuse me as I go hop off a cliff.

No place to use the jig.

>You can't detach the joycons because Nintendo wants to avoid paperclip hack method where you pin 9 & 10 pins.
kek

Consumers? Yes.

>literally impossible to find other exploits

I understand, thank you. 10 FPS sounds fucking dreadful, i can't imagine that on TV mode. I have a toaster laptop so I could never play Doom 2016 optimally, for example, so I got that on my Switch and play it exclusively on TV mode at a constant 30 FPS. Yeah I had to buy a real controller too, and there's no way for me to turn it off remotely (i just tend to sleep it anyway).

As for emulation, thanks for explaining. Sounds neat but I don't have a strong enough computer to do that.

RetroArch is original Switch exclusive if this thing really is harder to hack, so who the fuck cares.

If this thing ends up being hackable, I would totally buy a one just for the dpad (if it ends up being good and not like the procon dpad) and also for the extra battery life. That way I can emulate whatever I want in a comfy $200 portable device with physical controls, as well as pirate whatever games I want since I don't care about online, then keep my current switch for playing online in games like Mario maker 2.

wait so there's a button for screen brightness? Oh that's quite nice actually, he probably means software wise but I want to believe

It's possible to just use a custom made USB-C to HDMI cable for the original Switch instead of a dock, which is mainly for connecting controllers/LAN adapter.

Yes, Nintendo should have wised up after how easy it was for the original Switch to be hacked.

Wow user. Good job. Can you for once shut the fuck up about this console war shit?
That user OBVIOUSLY wants a NINTENDO homeconsole for REASONS. He doesn't care about the ps and that it has better specs. Nobody here actually does. Kill yourself.

Not even. This is terrible marketing at its finest.

So change the name

>Nintendo says the Switch Lite isn’t going to replace the 3DS
>3DS: I'M NOT DEATH REEEEEEEEEE
>Nintendo: Not yet, anyways
>theverge.com/2019/7/10/20687937/nintendo-switch-lite-3ds-2ds-future

It's a tug of war between ergonomics and silhouette. If it was honestly designed to maximize comfort, then "tech journalist" faggots would tear it to shreds for looking "dated, bulky, and non-premium" and it would negatively impact sales. Flat with round corners is the current fashion and we all have to suffer because of normies' shit values.

wow you don't say

agree
>You also have to pay extra for a real controller with a motherfucking D-pad
who cares
>You can't connect headphones to the controllers, something that has been standard for 15 years now
agree, but if you play in mostly handheld mode who cares
>AFAIK there's no way to turn on/off the console remotely. I haven't touched a power button frequently since 6th gen and I refuse to
okay, so just hold down the home button and put it in sleep mode. quit complaining over nothing
>Online is absolute shit, STILL friendcodes, unusable party system, spotty cloud saves
agree

congratulations, that's a 3 out of 6

Do you never go to the settings? Manual brightness has always been on the switch.

how can you come with such a low and stupid conclusion?

Since it's portable you can "switch places" where you go

They can, they could have, but they will not. Their greed prevents us for getting a genuine improvement to the Switch. It’s called the Lite, but the DS Lite was an improvement of the DS in every way.

Who in their right fucking mind thinks the 3DS isn't dead?

The switch has been out a while now and even pokemon has jumped ship to it. What notable new titles has 3DS even gotten in the last year?

There is no reason for 3DS to exist anymore.

That's what I said though :(

What? No physical button. You can hold down the home button to access brightness settings, or just go to the settings on the switch software. Switch has always had brightness settings?

>not a single word about storage

Switch Lite will never achieve the levels of comfy that the 3/DS had

looks like a SD card slot on bottom right. 32GB internal storage like the Switch

I seriously doubt you'd recoup enough costs to get the lite. Also, you'll be actively sacrificing features for no real gain.

Honestly, I've heard bad things about Xenoblade Chronicles 2 in handheld mode. Everything I've played myself runs as good or better. BotW has a more stable framerate in handheld, for example.

The 3DS exists to laugh over the grave of the Vita and serve as a message to Sony.

$150 switch tv when?

3DS was only comfy with a grip. Clamshells suck for ergonomics desu.

Outsold the Wii U.
