I really think Football manager plays much better in handheld mode, tnks to touch controls and that text size is not an issue here.
Haven't played Rocket League, though.
You got any source for that ? Because I'm doubting that the old 3DS sold more than most of the more recent models.
People are afraid of buying a regular switch when a pro model is lurking around the corner.
For most games but so far pokemon, animal crossing and splatoon don't have cloud saves and we don't know what others ones may not.Cloud saves mean that I can keep playing the same game in both consoles right?
Correct. I'm curious how it feels in the hands tbh.It's for people who:
Never expected anything else. This is the Switch's 2DS, right down to cutting out the system's main gimmick. Like the 2DS, I'm sure it will be popular among parents of young children.
- Don't already own a Switch
- Don't care about playing it on a TV
Not sure if it has been answered already, but is there any info on how Nintendo will handle accounts? It would really suck if they make you transfer everything to one console like the Wii/Wii U/3DS account system.
Relative to the current Switch. $100 off for no TV mode, no IR support, certain games not supported isn't enough. The consumer that only plays in handheld mode and assigns zero value to TV play only exists on Internet forums.
that's what I said: i don't think they are too small to read. I even think it's better to read it in handheld than on tv; But that's an opinion.It plays better - it is a port of the Touch version of the game, but it cannot be played in handheld mode due to all the text being far too small to read.
Do you remember the 3DS right? It was not a lot better lol
Those magical times with long battery life ended with DS Lite.
No you're missing my point- what hard evidence is your opinion based on? Why do you think that it's even possible for the device to run longer than that?
ok, I can't have an opinion. 4h is great and there is no magic in the world.That's not realistic though. You're effectively asking them to throttle the technology at far weaker than it currently is, because the battery in the original switch, and presumably this one too is already as big as they could physically make it.
Ah, I misunderstood then, I thought you meant functionality rather than size. However even for the size, although the difference is small, I wouldn't call it negligible. "Pocketable", "portable" and other such terms are wildly subjective and relatively small size differences can make a device more portable to a large number of people.
The regular Switch is still available.This thing sucks. It removes all the unique features of the Switch now it's just a standard handheld.
I guess it's for people who wanted a 2DS though.
Yeah, I really don't understand the issue here. HD Rumble is nice but in no way essential, and if you want a Switch that docks to the tv... hey, those are still available! In fact, if you post on a video game forum there's a solid chance you already own one. It should be beyond obvious that the Switch Lite is intended for people who are ok with (or even prefer) only playing handheld, which sales of the 3DS line of systems would suggest is quite a few people!This is the strangest thread I've seen on this site.
By the sounds of things, some of you just want a regular Switch? If so, just purchase a regular Switch?
Or were you perhaps thinking that the Switch Lite (Mini) was somehow going to be an upgrade to the regular Switch?
I'm beyond confused by some of these posts.
This seems great for younger kids. I'd be 100% down for getting my Newphew this. He had a blast with the Nintendo 2DS.
Well yeah, that's why calling anyone in here like that is kinda fucked up, imo.Oh, I don't think there are many of them on era. Thank goodness.

hopefully they have a new system as well, considering the two main games you'd want to play on this don't have cloud savesIf you have NSO you can do cloud saving to transfer all your cloud save games over. If not you do the classic system transfer that was seen with 3DS/WiiU.
Nintendo Support: What Are the Differences Between a Primary and Non-Primary Nintendo Switch Console?

Nintendo numbers weren't that exact. They said people who mostly only played docked or mostly played handheld was roughly the same while the number of people who played both to varying degrees was bigger than each other individual faction.
Yes but that doesn't change this device being lame.
Love how it looks. And it has an actual d-pad
Since the screen is a bit smaller, it could have a higher pixel density right?
Games will look a bit more crisp :)
I will leave my current one in a dock-only configuration, and keep this new model as the "on the go" model.
Cloud saves mean that I can keep playing the same game in both consoles right?
No I was agreeing with you lol, sorry for the mixup, I'm kind of tired.I would wonder the same about someone using the term "Nincel" tbh. Agreed with the rest of the point though.
It's yellow
Yeah, Nintendo obviously sees a market for a handheld only model. Me personally I am surprised they didn't leave the dock functionally in there to upsell later . But I can see why they took it out while they redesigning. It's not that big of a deal. The thing is aimed at parents to chunk at their kids.This is the strangest thread I've seen on this site.

Then you don't have to. You're not compelled. :PI like the yellow one quite a bit, but I already almost never touch my switch, so I don't know if I can justify the purchase.
I was hoping that would be the Pro. But it sure feels like the Pro will be getting a BOTW 2 edition.
You are not forced to buy it. Enjoy your current Switch.

Yes, disappointments and excitements.This is like the Switch reveal thread all over again.. isnt it?
I think Nintendo is better off worrying about its own business considering their handheld only devices have routinely sold gangbusters.Being able to play games on a TV is not a gimmick. That functionality is core to the business of Nintendo's competitors.
