wonder what the size is of a big game like zeld0r because dl titles seem like they will fill that 32gb up lickity-split. what's the biggest size sd card there is these days?

BOTW only clocks in at 13gb. the Treehouse Live stream showed them putting a 256gb EVO SD card in the handheld.

Add that there will only be 4 launch titles, and most of the notable games aren't coming until later in the year - I think they HAD to get Zelda out otherwise the launch potentially would be a failure.

 

It will be interesting to see if they delay the Wii U Zelda past 3 March as not to cannibalize Switch sales...

They need to get a Pokemon and Animal Crossing game out for Switch ASAP

BOTW Wii U is confirmed for March 3 as well:

Well, that's just fucking stupid, but I guess they have no choice. You can buy a Wii U bundle (that comes with 2 games) PLUS Zelda for less than the Switch + Zelda.

Maybe Wii U sales will increase? LOL

That's still almost half the system memory - and the OS plus formatting will eat up some of that, so likely system memory is around 27-29 GB, like the Wii U. Good thing is you can increase that with standard SD cards.

What a mess of artstyles.

it's so good

it's retarded. like a crazy person made it or something.

it's at least only 1 level. the trailer also showed a Dark Souls level which looks pretty cool, pretty spooky

Been playing Wipeout Fury PS3 as I was interested in the 1080p output from the older playstation. Looks sweet. The gameplay, atmosphere and presentation reeks of Britain in the 1990s. Still not as good as F-Zero X for speed.

first thing that came to mind.

As far as Switch charging, I haven't seen this listed anywhere, but it seems worth mentioning. You're gonna be playing musical cables, as it comes with one AC adapter that can either: charge the unit directly from the bottom port, clip on the joy cons and dock it to charge all 3 internal batteries at once, charge the joy con grip, charge the Pro Controller, or plug the cable into the rear of the dock. There are of course USB-C cables available, and some have licensed AC adapters that connect, like a phone charger. Just maybe buy extra cables is all I'm sprayin

At least they threw in an HDMI cable and a charger, unlike the 3DS.

I lol'd. Then I cried a little.

lollololol

so i didn't preorder. i wonder how long the wait will be to get the switch ??

Here's what's inside the Switch dock, not a whole lot really. Empty space to dissipate heat, and not shown, the USB-C connector inside the base for docking.  It seems boneheaded to me, that with what's included in the box, you'll need to open this up, and unplug the power cable every time you want to charge the joy con grip, or pro controller, much less take it on the go.  I still haven't seen one single game journalist realize this yet, but you bet they'll bitch about it upon release day.  So yeah, extra cables people.

^just like Nintendo: empty, incorrect and lacking clarity, and designed for looks and marketing, though doing a bad job of even those things.

the switch atm looks about on par as the wii u as far as games and actual content goes. 

pushing the cool looks and rad sleek aesthetic seems to be what nintendo are doing atm and it seems to be working alright as far as generating hype and interest goes!

I'd recommend one of these for Switch buyers:

Naw it is getting a lot of hype, you're right about that. I just don't know why, for the life of me do not get how it's working on people... but I'm not here to rain on the hype train. Was just making a quick snark because I'm tired, I'll move on now :)

It sounds like Switch voice chat and lobbies will be handled exclusively by your smart device app, which I can see would save on the Switch's battery life as an always on stream would drain it faster, and cause lag. Not sure how smoothly that will work over 3G / 4G though.

Information from the live event in Japan says the USB 3.0 on the dock might support external hard drives in the future, but they're trying to make the system as portable as possible. Also, Micro SDXC Cards up to 2TB will be supported when they release.

lol

so what's the advice?

wait til it flops a little, then buy used to play Zelda..?
