its a casting couch for game consoles

The Sofa of Truth!

The sofa is a rip off😂

EXACTLY! i thought this was a fake for like half of the video and I realised it was real lmao

Wolvie 619 I can't see why they wouldn't make that a pack in. Then again I can't see why the 3ds XL didn't come with a charging cable. Given the lack of launch titles you'd think they'd include it with the console. it all reeks of Nintendo nickel and diming you.

Wolvie 619 It probably was to start with, then when they realised there's no launch titles and isn't gonna sell well they decided to charge for it and earn a bit of extra money

Wolvie 619 they deliberately left it out to bring down the price of the console.

I'd rather not, I don't want it and don't want to pay $350 for it.

Wolvie 619 Let's be honest, it really should have. I will be picking up a Switch next year when more games are out and hopefully it will have Bundles by then.

The DS was backwards compatible with GBA games, though. The Switch doesn't have anywhere to insert (3)DS game cards, nor does it contain cameras or a microphone, so even if it's powerful enough to emulate the 3DS (and Nintendo was to provide the games on VC), you would still need some accessories to get full compatibility (let alone stereoscopic 3D, which would be impossible without a whole extra screen).

Long Runner yeah

From my limited understanding, the Switch has a modified 3DS OS, so maybe some sort of add on like those region unlocking cartridges for the SNES would work?

3DS consoles have already stopped shipping to stores, it's all 2DS from here on out. And if the 2DS is the only version available, the whole system is, sadly, doomed, because nobody wants that shit.

Ender Skies handheld console...

You used his first name. This must be serious.

Yep, Watched a tear down, and no HW acceleration. Just a big hunk of cheap plastic.

Andris yes, it's a dock. are you aware of what a dock is?

Andris "how come the dock doesn't boost the power of the console? isn't that what docks is???"

They could of done something like increasing the power or overclocking the switch to make it run better when docked.

It does run a bit better when docked. It overclocks using the direct wall electricity. It doesn't have external GPU though which is what I think you meant to say.

Crickey 'ol Reilly!

Larry Bundy Jr Hello you!

Larry Bundy Jr but you can still get it on wiiu if you don't wanna pay 400AUD

There's also that Fast RMX thing that shows what the device can actually do, before getting a bit repetitive.

The game is so fucking good that you could put it in a shoebox full of shit that I would play it. Which is precisely why I'm playing it on the Wii U.

isn't that the only game any one cares about on the switch? so then like 85% of people are breath of the wild players

That's not true. The dock also scratches the Switch.

blobbem if you slam it in

Ah yes, a fragile portable console. Brilliant pairing. Seriously though, even if you are careful with it, you're probably gonna scratch the screen by accident at some point.

Its a big, expensive HDMI cable with a charging cable. 90% of it is cheap plastic and yet somehow it costs so much. I guess the screen scratching feature is worth the price.

+blobbem You have some data to back up that claim? or just a video of around 10 people out of millions?

I like Sony but that propriety SD card costs $81 for 32GB. Fuck that to infinity and beyond.

Maximus Primus well guess what i got a 128 gig micro sd card for 6 euro including delivery

+Deviler64 Proprietary Sony SD card. The one used in the Vita. Not a standard Micro SD.

Maximus Primus sry forgot but i still did get a good price on the micro 😅

Dr. Sinclair lel i have a custom made sony micro sd reader so i can plug it into my computer. I cant remember what the name of there shitty sd's are called because i dont own a psvita anymore it got lost and when i found it the screen didnt work

@@EverythingLvl Yeah it's dumb, physical is cheaper despite all the labour and materials needed?

WingsOfDepression yeah and the physical games don’t take up make space you can also sell them if you’re finished with em

Technically, they could offer it cheaper digital, as they don't have any physical production costs. But once they do that, retail copies are done for and business relations between retail and manufacturer are soured and buried forever. It's just a matter of time till it all becomes fully digital. Bonus of digital is also that I have had games in the past I missed when they were in stores. If they all become digital (for the most part) they'll always be available during a console's lifetime.

A bit late but that was a big thing that Ashens brought up during his Wii U review, was quite comical that games where either more expensive as digital or not even available.

@@VegaDI86 Not necessarily true. There are a lot of advantages to physical copies of the game that digital doesn't offer. 1) Physical copies don't take as much space on your device's storage, that goes without saying. 2) Physical copies actually feels like it's YOUR game, not just borrowing it forever from the company. With a physical copy, I can give it to a friend to play for a while if I'd like. I can sell it when I am done with it. Physical copies look damn nice when stacked neatly on a shelf for decorative purposes. Can't get that with a digital copy. 3) Digital copies are subject to corruption and software issues. Physical copies may have bugs and things that updates will patch and sort out, but a digital copy can get corrupted and need to be re-downloaded and reinstalled, which is really annoying sometimes. Like suddenly you're playing, and then there's a power surge or an outage while your Switch is plugged in, and now all that digital content is subject to getting corrupted. You'll never have that problem on a physical copy. Because of these reasons, a lot of people still like physical copies, regardless if they are slightly more expensive, the freedom to do whatever you want with the game, as well as higher endurance to issues make them really appealing. In 2018, 83% of games were purchased digitally. By those standards, then there would be no more video game stores like GameStop, but because a significant amount of people still buy physical copies, stores like that continue to exist.

The pixelation is definitely overboard. I think Ashens likes to exaggerate for effect.

hardly exaggerated in this case, it doesnt take much to get copyright strikes from nintendo.

Let's not forget all those fan projects that they've killed recently.

You would think any games company wouldn't mind uploads of footage. Its not like we can play the game on youtube or anything, and seeing a game being played is the next best thing to a having playable demo... you know, those things that help the buyer to decide if a game is worth buying. Come to think of it, gameplay footage on youtube is, effectively, free marketing. If anything, Nintendo should be paying the uploader!

Ashens is just being overly cautious. Nothing would have happened if he didn't pixelate that one second of footage.

john d k c no it isn’t. I have a neon red and blue switch and i popped it out like twice so I could put the micro as card in and the kick stand is screwed up now and doesn’t stay on the switch

then you did something HORIBLE Wrong ore you just did have bad luck with your particular Switch(and you dont need to DETACH the kick Stand from the Switch to put the SD Card in) it was infect design taht it would snap off when you would try to put the Swith for example with it out in the dock so that it woudl not cause any real damage to eitehr of it

SGT_Weber the first time I did it on accident and I have really big hands so when I was putting a new sd card with more storage i popped it off because it was easier for me and the kickstand won’t latch to the switch anymore

then it is proably realy a chase of bad Luck with the Particular Unit... witch sucks... i had not that bad luck i detached and atached the Kick Stands Several times to test it and it fits still quit fine on it

I never know why they did it that way aside for kids who would probably break it easely. Also another one at the other side could granted a bit more stability but other companies thought already about that.

Daniel Ferreira It plays Shrek Super Slam though, so I'm sold.

True successor to the Chintendo Vii

Correction: Its a big hunk of plastic with a bunch of rather expensive c-type USB ports that scratches your screen if you shove the thing in there.

TheMrGamer why didn't they just make the screen scratchers firm foam to hold it in place without scratching the fuck out of it

It does increase the switch's clock speed

Osmosis Jones because getting someone to stick em on or letting a robot do it is more expensive than just extending the shitty plastic mold to do the same (but scratchy) job

Sander All because it gets more power. Nothing to do with the dock.

ThunderPsyker they were offering 300 in cash on release day so people were taking theirs in to make a profit for doing nothing. Cex always does it on launch. Launch of psvr they gave more than retail price in cash for the, because they sold out smother knew they could charge more for them also

ThunderPsyker CEX are scamming fucks. Remember when PsVR was selling like hot cakes at Christmas season for £350? Yeah, CEX was selling a dozen of them for £550. They did it with Pokémon Heart Gold and Soul Silver by selling them for £70 because of the PokéWalker. Now the switch? I probably won't ever go to CEX again.

the CEX shop opposite chapelfield? oh god you dont want me talking about that

Blake ShadowKnight God damn Warioware is the shit

It's a mini-game based game, you genius. It's just the same genre. Also, there will surely be a warioware game for the Switch.

Flad Mast you do know that you dont have to buy it dont you?

I can't believe they are asking more than $10 for it. Half of the minigames don't even work properly because the console can't actually track your movement.

Rian Sillett So? If he doesn't like something, he's free of expressing his opinion on it. The company has shown us that they can do great minigame-based titles multiple times (main example is WarioWare, as he said), and 1 2 Switch looks like a less creative, limited and not as fun version of games like WarioWare, Wii Party etc. And it's also more expensive. It's not like he has to buy it if he don't like it, but he has the right to express his opinion on it, even if you disagree with it.

I was so afraid that people weren't going to buy it, because of it being a new idea made by Nintendo and the lack of launch titles. I'm glad to have been proven wrong. Maybe one day I'll be able to buy one.

@@thearousedeunuch did you get one?

@@TheMarioManiac I haven't been able to afford one so far, sadly. If memory serves me right, it was competing against building my own PC. I went with that instead. I don't regret my decision, as of right now. Thanks for asking.

To be fair to Nintendo as everyone is cheap being cheap as fuck, they're all using the same shit electrostats and apparently the PS5 consumes them like tic tacs and drifts even faster than the bloody joycons and I'm on my third set of those. It's an industry wide issue where they can see the advantage in cheaping out on the controllers to make more money and then when they fail but before the real scandal hits they can sell loads more to replace the failures they knew would happen.

Update, nothing to note 😅

@@silerthinprath4283Nah It’s been used in most first party games to decent effect

Outrage Quitter so much salt here :D

I think it's mostly just trolls. Most of the people that comment on how awful something is, have never even owned the thing that they are commenting about; they just see others comments and jump on the band wagon. Nintendo is far from faultless, but I honestly will never understand the vitriol others have over something that doesn't affect them whatsoever 🐸☕️

Outrage Quitter Your generalization is shallow at best. There are Nintendo, Zelda and Switch owners that does not like it. You must be a Switch fanboys because according to you non-owners and haters are just trolls. Yea ok! I own a PS4 does that mean I have to like it? Nah!

zZiL341yRj736 why does me liking something suddenly make me a fanboy? I'm not a "fanboy" because I'm not a child. If I'm a fanboy of anything, I guess it's video games. I like consoles. I like my PC. I have a PS4, Xbone and obviously a switch. I have no idea why, what someone else plays video games on, draws such ridiculous comments from others.

zZiL341yRj736 usually any hate toward BoTW is not very well thought out or because of technical problems.

rpgGamer why???just why??

King Allant so if you happen to put it back in dock it's OK. just clips back on

King Allant So if you or your kid pushes it too far, it pops off instead of breaking.

yes. it should just pop off at the Base and it clips back on

King Allant he's misrepresenting it. It is designed to pop off instead of breaking if the pressure gets to high. You can just pop it back in instead of having a broken switchstand.

That'll be Playstation's next console. They'll claim you can play in 4k _magically_ and it'll actually be 4k at 5 fps

Making sure it is unlocked helps a lot, too. Christmas day a couple years ago my little boy got a switch, I got the damned thing stuck the first time I put it on haha

Eduardo Luna but buying the new one won't allow me to transfer my rock band dlc as I've purchased the majority of rock band on the wii version transferred to wii u and have all three for this system. I'd miss it too much.

I bought a Wii U the day before the Switch launched and I couldn't be happier. I installed CFW on it as well to run homebrew, and the library has far many more offerings than the Switch at this point in time.. including Breath of the Wild. I'll get a Switch once Splatoon 2 comes out and the next batch of consoles has their issues ironed out.

Spider Mcgavenport Then just keep the WiiU connected to play Rockband? Don't see the problem, there.

They do, as long as you don't monetize it.

Nintendo aren't aiming for graphic fidelity.

Ross T nintendo seem to not have as many Devs involved in making games. This sort of causes less optimization and ways to get around the lesser hardware compared to a PC.

For years now they've ran with a notion that they'd rather spend on R&D to introduce different ideas to play games than to spend on a raw processing power. I suppose it's not entirely unlike how Apple products seem to have lesser value hardware wise than PC counterparts in the same price bracket. It's just a different point of focus to them.

The Switch is using the latest tech with Switch. It is in fact the most powerful handheld portable machine.

he means compared to ps4 it sucks. the frame rate sucks. zelda lags so often it's annoying as hell. no one will bother making games for it. Can't wait for the new mass effect on PS4, that will actually look and run nice.
