Nightwing 518 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 This defeats the whole purpose of it being called a Nintendo Switch. They should have called this something else. I see a lot of these being returned after purchase. You know people don't read or pay attention to what they're doing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knife 6,697 Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 I've pre-ordered. I rarely use my Switch in docked mode so I appreciate the longer battery life. @Versace I thought Nintendo already had cloud saves? https://www.nintendo.com/switch/online-service/save-data-cloud/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s like “oh, you just purchased our standard Switch? Well here’s a more powerful one that does better things!” There's a way to do it right. Look at the Xbox One X for example. It's not a whole new generation. Everything that's made for One X will also run on One. One X games will support 4K natively though. The same games will run on One, just without 4K. It's not that difficult to create minor upgrades without f'cking over existing users as long as the original generation was made with some foresight. I think the Switch is great. It's just ever so slightly underpowered. Check out iTunes data & graphs at CHARTPOP.live Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was today years old when I found out that's why it's called that. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if many people didn't even know and thought it was just a random brand name without meaning.

I think he meant there isn't a free one and it seems like the feature is exclusive to those subscribed to the Nintendo Online membership. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it very first came out, up to now, a big part of its gimmick was being able to be a stand-alone handheld gaming system, while being able to dock it and play it on a television. Or vice-versa. That was a big part of its original promotion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
