Nintendo Switch Revealed

They'd have to downclock the gpu for thermals and battery.  To make sure every game runs to spec without changing it, they'd have to lower the resolution.

It doesn't work like that. Every game would need to be patched to support the lower resolution just like how they need patches for Pro. Devs wouldn't bother.

3 hour battery life is what you'd get.  Which is what the NX is giving.

Depends.  Sony might be able to override resolutions themselves.

They can't. PS3 had games switch resolution depending on system output settings but with PS4 it's fully up to the devs. Plus nowadays games use so many rendering passes at different settings that I feel it'd be near impossible to make a catch all solution to lower them without breaking things.

The OS should be able to limit the resolution the game is running and ignore calls, or send dummy data back to the game if it's needed.  Depends what calls are to resolution in Sony's SDK.

i called it on vgchertz.

switch will get indies and downloadables but not the full fledged AAA titles.  the floor is too low in portable mode. devs will target ps4 as the floor and ignore nintendo.

Would be interesting to see if current gen emulators ever exist and get the ability to change resolution. I feel like it just wouldn't be possible without doing it game by game.

Should be possible.  The OS should have the final say before data is sent to the gpu.

It's the same as the gamecube, AKA the best controller ever!

EDT: wait, I never thought about how vertical they are... That looks horrible.

It reminds me of this a little bit.


Only a little bit.

Hmmm....

Possibly a lot more than 100 million.


 With the combination of the new features, the target audience is a lot wider than any console Nintendo has ever released. And it is hitting that target audience with a really great looking product. My gut says 2017 will be a very big year for Nintendo, but 2018 will be bigger, and 2019 will be their biggest year ever for a single platform release. 2019 will be a Pokemon year.


 I predict this platform will have a lot of high fidelity third party games, as well as the largest array of indie titles on any gaming console ever, by far.               

Jesus Christ some Nintendo fans simply refuse to learn. The future clowning material that fanbase has given people in the last few days alone is amazing.

Edit: Oh and since context makes these things so much funnier, this is the same guy that insulted me and called my prediction of the PS4 outselling the Wii U and 3DS combined lousy and uneducated. Lol

if you read that one thread about who is going to make NX's components i answered magic and rainbows.  that really was a diss to nintendo fans becuase clearly every nintendo console ever (before release). 

1. will beat the power of any other console by leaps and bounds
2. but also be cheaper then any other console by at least $100
3. while also including some innovative new use of technology unlike anything else on the market
4. and of couse stays true to nintendos desire for small form factors and low power usage. 

it just a cluster fudge of mutually exclusive goals that no one could possibly acheive and yet nintendo fans somehow expect it everytime. 


bit i guess that reality isn't applicable to an audience that argued some wii game looked better technically then the average ps360 game. 

...or the audience that believes "nintendo has the best first party" is a fact and not an opinon.
