Nintendo Switch

Gamepad, pro controller, two classic controllers. Same controls on all of them.

Sony did this quite cleverly by using symbols rather than letters and even made them integral part of the product image / marketing. Like rotating/animated controller symbols when loading stuff etc.

Shame theyre shit.

The Xbox button colour scheme is reversed as well, they tell you to press blue and you'd press Y anyway.

After pushing the "click" in so many logos during promo videos, I should hope so.

Ah shit. Now I really want the physical releases of those.

My fave Reggie moment was him angrily trying to argue to Geoff Keighley that the Wii U version Arkham Origins wasn't a port, but counted as  an entirely new game because Batman got some new gloves in it.

BoI developer on cost of the Switch physical edition:

 

Yeah people were bitching at him saying the price was too high etc. It's about 5 dollars more than the steam version FFS.

Not that fussed about lack of controller battery dock (though it's very cheap not having a USB pass through), Xbox charge for their battery packs.

 

Well, yeah. But you can also just use any AAs, as the controller doesn't use non-removable batteries...

 

Another comparison would be the DualShock 4, which, like the Joy-Con, *does* use a non-removable battery. But where the DS4 can be charged while playing, using a simple USB cable, the Joy-Con can't be charged unless connected to the Switch itself - no charging them while the Switch is docked, unless you pay extra.

What, like Splatoon and Splatoon 2?

Just charge them every night. Or every other night. 

[Tezcatlipoca]

Hopefully they'll have a battery life like that of the Wii U Pro Controller, and not like that of the Wii U GamePad.

[Strafe]

All doubts evaporated watching the latest Zelda trailer.

20 hours. But I prefer to play with one in each hand, kicking back, relaxing, maxing. Fuck than grip shit.

 

I can't charge them while playing even for £30. You hear me crying? No.

My son is on the couch playing Hyrule Warriors with his Aunty... he's on the pad. It's a shame we won't get anymore like that on a single console.

Are you a Nintendo fauxboy? 

 

The entire purpose of the Switch is local co-op ffs.

Remember these are likely dev-kits so the configuration will not be exactly the same as the final unit.

Doesn't look anything like Zelda. Lifelike though

This think launches in less than 50 days, they're unlikely to be dev kits.

Many of the games weren't even finished.   Retail consoles will only play retail carts.   So I expect they are dev kits.

[TheSlugFormerlyKnownAsNap]

Indeed most likely production samples with a dev configuration. I would be surprised if there will be any radical changes between these versions and the final product though.

[robotattack]

No surprises here.

£47 for 2 player bomberman fucking hell  almost went there a minute ago.

[Adrock]

I've not played binding of isaac or shovel knight. Both worth playing? Eyed them up a couple of times on Steam but not taken the plunge, portable Switch versions might be the final straw.

Supports 8 players online according to a neogaf thread. Also a 50 stage story mode.

 

Still looks a bit naff though, would rather a VC release.

[Adrock]

£47? Jesus christ. At £30 I'd have happily bought it but thats crazy.
