A brand named after the function. It was designed as a hybrid. It now isn't.You guys are obsessed with the "Switch" name having anything to do with the Switching mechanic at this point. It's called Switch Lite so consumers know it plays Switch games. It's not that hard. Switch is a brand, not a function.
I wonder how long will it take for hackers to make the Lite dockable.
It looks like a smaller Switch and nothing like the VitaAesthetics are very similar to the 3rd gen Vita, which is a good thing
Developers are going to develop for the common feature set, not the features that a portion of the market will not have. Why would they design a game around the detachable joycons or HD rumble now?
Are those features worth $200 to the average Switch buyer? Enthusiasts, maybe. Even then, we'd prefer a dpad over those features for the most part.
It's a paradigm shift, not a sidestep.
Do you think a lot of people were putting 3ds' or 2ds' or Vitas in their pockets? LOL, obviously not!Do you think people are gonna put this thing in their pocket or what? Were there people complaining that the Switch was too heavy?
Yes, more portable — but not much more portable. Not enough to make most people double dip, I imagine, because their existing Switch is plenty portable.
But a decent option for ppl that don't have a Switch and want a budget option and don't mind the missing features.
You still have the OG Switch, and Switch Pro. Just wait it out.Really stupid to not allow it to work with the dock. That just cost them millions of potential dock sales and no dock means no pro controllers/joy con sales.
if you wanted a switch you can buy a switch"It's $200!" Big deal. Though I don't doubt it will sell well with the $100 discount. I know that price will jump out at people. For someone looking at it from my perspective and looking to buy their first switch- with significantly less features, mostly it being unable to dock, it's a hard no.
Also, it looks... Okay. I think they could stretch the screen out a bit more, push the controls back a bit. The colors are also unappealing. But yeah, models definitely not for me
I don't like the fact that it cannot be docked. It's the main appeal of the OG for me.
Out of the box is plays 99% of Switch games, and to my knowledge the rest can still be played if you pair Joycons with the device.
The problem is that some of us would like a more portable Switch, but would still like to be able to use TV mode too.Some of you should've known this wouldn't be for you before now.
Yep. Many here don't get marketing. The Switch and upcoming Switch revision is the target market for those here.
You can't see the benefits of that?
Not interested in this at all, but there were a few people who wanted a cheaper handheld only Switch, I guess Nintendo listened.
Removing HD rumble and TV out support is a really strange decision. Personally, I don't see why anyone would get this over the regular Switch outside of price.
That look like a gizmodo firstAesthetics are very similar to the 3rd gen Vita, which is a good thing
How much bigger is this compared to a 2DS XL, out of curiosity? I was planning on getting this for my sister if the size was close since she's told me she doesn't like handling things much bigger then a 2DS XL (and outright hates how big the Switch is undocked), but the width difference beteeen the regular Switch being only two inches is giving me pause.
What an aggressive response.Because you don't have that extra $100 / don't play docked.
How's that hard?
Some of you should've known this wouldn't be for you before now.
People just trying to tempt me. I aint falling for their seductions!
I think Nintendo has more than one job.
It's worth it for the significant number of people who don't care about docking.So where is the the Switch? You are losing so much to save $100...doesn't seem worth it. I want the elite version...hope that is getting announced.
What switch games does it not play? Genuine question. You may need to buy seperate joycons (they even tell you that in the video) but I guess it plays all switch games.
