I dunno, this is exactly what we were lead to expect when the rumors first started coming out.okay what the fuck were people expecting from a switch 'light' in the first place? i mean damn did you think a handheld only switch would have every feature that a regular one would have just without a fucking dock?
Right now there aren't any docked-only games (that I know of). The fact they added that this is only handheld-only makes me think some Wii games might be getting ported over. The joycons have way better motion control than the Wiimote+ did, so I could see them doing that.I'm only conflicted because I really want a Switch, and this drops the entry price and would make it easier for me to get one. However, I don't like the feeling of missing out and I worry about that, especially without the dock-ability.
Then... just buy the normal Switch? If you wait till Black Friday, you will be able to get the original Switch for $250 at at least 1 retailer.I'm only conflicted because I really want a Switch, and this drops the entry price and would make it easier for me to get one.

i always expected it to have pared down features to make it more affordable, and to me that means things like no tv-out, but for some reason people seem to have expected that feature to still be there and i don't understand whyI dunno, this is exactly what we were lead to expect when the rumors first started coming out.
As we were talking about yesterday, these are the same people who once complained about paying for 250 channels when they only wanted 6 specific channels, and who are now furious that they are being asked to pay for every specific streaming service that has content they want instead of paying 1 low price and getting everythingi always expected it to have pared down features to make it more affordable, and to me that means things like no tv-out, but for some reason people seem to have expected that feature to still be there and i don't understand why
I use two Switches with one account right now. The secondary account just needs to check in online to play the games.Very thankful that most people on era don't work in professional advertising/branding/business in general, because "WHY CAlL It A SWitCh iF it CanT sWiTCH hoW cAn yOU fUCK ThIs Up" that is 80% of that thread is causing me to think I have a brain tumor
My only complaint is that I wish it was $50 cheaper so I could order one today with zero questions, and that they address how 2 switches can exist with one account if I buy one to be my main switch but want to have the option to use my old one
Never*resets days since gaming-era has shown its butt sign back to zero*
We're gonna make it to three days eventually guys...
...maybe.
Can you buy games on one and download on both? How often does it have to make the check?I use two Switches with one account right now. The secondary account just needs to check in online to play the games.
Yes.Can you buy games on one and download on both? How often does it have to make the check?

God this is the stupidest thing. A different name for the device would basically be an equivalent but reciprocal problem that the Wii U had. (Different name for same product family rather than same name for different product family)Very thankful that most people on era don't work in professional advertising/branding/business in general, because "WHY CAlL It A SWitCh iF it CanT sWiTCH hoW cAn yOU fUCK ThIs Up" that is 80% of that thread is causing me to think I have a brain tumor
Yup. Switch Mini still plays Switch games. A new name would just confuse the hell out of people.God this is the stupidest thing.

Those people were always crazy.I feel like the Wii U gave a lot of people the impression that Nintendo doesn't know what they're doing, especially those who were saying that it was only a matter of time before Nintendo slipped and went third party

Exactly. Anyone who has ever worked retail knows what a shitshow it would have been if they gave it a new name.I worked enough in retail to know these questions would plague store employees.
'Wait what is the Nintendo NewName? Is that their new system?'
'No it just plays the same games as Switch'
or
'I don't want the Nintendo Whatever, I want a Switch that I've heard about'
'That is a Switch, just a new model'
'Why does it have a different name?'
etc
why can't my Wii play this Wii gameI worked enough in retail to know these questions would plague store employees.

What's the difference?

Nintendo: lolnoAll I know is, WTF WHY DOES THE LITE HAVE AN ACTUAL D-PAD, SELL ME AN OFFICIAL JOYCON THAT HAS ONE.
In weird news I think we missed?
Huh. Wonder what two fell through, and why?
Could have been pressure from Crunchy as well. They are partners with Toonami and likely want slots free to put their shows in instead of them being filled with the competitors stuff.If I had to speculate, maybe Fire Force and MHA S4. Like, it's weird that My Hero got pushed back to the very back of the block out of nowhere. Even if it wasn't getting bomb ratings, it would still make sense to air it before Gundam and Lupin.
I'm guessing Funimation probably doesn't want to their delay their simuldub premieres anymore so that they can "debut first" on Toonami.
I do find it hard to believe that Toonami wouldn't air the next season of MHA or attack on titan but who knows.prediction: there isn't actually any heat between toonami and Funimation, and we'll be getting MHA on the block as would be normal
