Nintendo Switch Launch/Hype

@Musou-Tensei no you don't. you don't have to do anything.
-
@Yoshi To play certain games I have to buy certain consoles/handhelds, why else would I have a Vita?
-
@Musou-Tensei you don't need to play Nintendo exclusives
-
@Yoshi I'll admit the USB C charging is great, glad they are modernizing in that regard. I'm still ticked about the small internal storage, 32 GB just isn't enough when your flagship launch title can eat up half of it. We have to remember they are advertising the portability of the Switch.

@benoit489 Join the physical copy master race or suck it up digital people. :3
-
my wiiu had 32 gb and i never came close to filling it and i have like a dozen games,
-
@Yoshi I love me physical as much as possible but I'm concerned about patches and the Switch's 32GB. Modern day patches can be quite large. I don't recall Nintendo having large patches like other companies and third parties. But it's not uncommon for a game to have a patch larger than 32gb.

On what, Vive? The Switch is a handheld — none of the full games announced for release so far have had that kind of file size.
Speaking of which, $70 200gb micro sd cards should be more than sufficient for all of the games one would normally buy (most of them being Nintendo games which actually use good file compression) between now and mid 2018.
-
@Haru17 sorry, you're right. They aren't commonly that large. I do feel like I'm constantly downloading large patches of several GB though.
-
@matt you're going to get patches whether you go physical or digital.
may as well just go physical and only have the patch data on the card instead of the whole entire game as well as the patch on there filling up even more space.
-
@Yoshi I actually do.
-
@Yoshi Does it patch to the game cartridge? That's really cool if true. I hadn't thought of it working that way.
-
@Haru17 3DS got updates all the time. they applied to the system not the cartridge though.

I have a family and prefer not to have every console I own hooked up, accessories and all, simultaneously.
Just keep this hooked up anywhere with an electrical plug. You can store the console itself until you need it.
Switch is basically exactly this with it's dock, except it looks nicer and the bits with the controls pull off and slide on to separately charge them from the base unit.
@Musou-Tensei You do realize that pictured below is basically the same as the Switch dock now right?
-
@Yoshi I know, that's not what I asked.
-
@Haru17 Well Switch would probably act the same way was my point...
-
@Yoshi but what about all my digital only titles??
-
Just saw commercial for 1-2 switch here in UK, I am so happy that they showed of the milking game! Im kinda hyped for it.. a little bit
-
@mbun But I can charge my Wii U pad while playing without having to buy extra shit, that option is gone with the Switch.
-
@Musou-Tensei no it isn't. USB C means you can charge the thing pretty much everywhere.
most people already own something like a phone battery power pack charger already lying around the house somewhere. it's easy enough to use something like that if you need to charge the tablet on the go.
