Before shopping

Nevertheless, the Switch has such advantages as portability, a unique 2-in-1 gamepad for the cooperative, and exclusive game series from Nintendo, on which not one generation of gamers has grown.

What revision of the console to choose?

What to look for when buying a Switch?
When buying, you should turn on the console and check the display for the presence of dead pixels. We also recommend checking the reliability of the wireless connection of the left controller.

Technical problems

Is the console display scratch resistant?
Of course, like any other display. Therefore, gently insert the tablet into the docking station, without pressing the display on the front panel of the dock.
Outside the house, a film or special glass will help protect the screen.

Bulges the screen out of the case, literally 1-2 mm, left or right. This is normal?
This case is not a marriage and is observed absolutely from all owners, a feature of the design.
The use of protective glass or film can also contribute to the protrusion of the screen, or maybe not, all in different ways.

The console is frozen and does not respond to clicks, how to be?
Press and hold the Power button for about 12 seconds to force the console off.

The console does something by itself or does not work properly.
Probably disturbed sensor operation. You can calibrate Joey, Gyro and Touchscreen in Settings in the Controllers / Sensors item.

After some time, the stick on Joy-Con began to podglyuchivat how to solve the problem?
If the Joykon's calibration did not help, most likely dust would get under the sticks' rubber, which you must get rid of (short video, detailed video).
A small manual for disassembling Joycons and cleaning sticks.

In wireless mode, the Joy-Con does not respond or does not work correctly.
Try to reduce the distance between the controllers and the console. Make sure there are no obstacles between Switch and Joy-Con. Check for potential sources of interference and turn them off.
In most cases, it will be enough to rearrange these devices 1–1.5 meters from the console.
* in case of unreliable operation of the controllers (mainly left joey), you should contact the manufacturer’s official service center for warranty, this is a marriage.

On the forum "Thank you", it is customary to express by raising the user's reputation.or the "good" button, do not write about it separately .

Not bad, but not much. While the view "do not take at the start, wait and see."

1) The form factor is interesting. Separately, all this is already there, and I can still collect it - the iPega joystick, tablet, N64 emulator (Zelda, Mario 64, ....), good android games (TQ, BG, XCOM, KotOR, ..).

But H, it seems, made more convenient. Although the semi-joysticks and the absence of the cross are very puzzling.

2) "Multiplatform" is old. Skyrim, basketball. Not hooked.

3) I did not see any interesting games. Here, alas.
All that was was replayed a hundred times. You can either grab a 3DS or Wii.
Yes, the new Zelda is cool, but because of her spend $ 300 ?. Hardly.

If these games are exactly on launch, I pass for exactly a year.

Where Metroid, Casting, Bayonet, Mario Galaxy, RPG from Square (Bravely Default at least), SMT / Persona,Dead or Alive Venus Vacation


P.S. The Chinese make a "motive" - ​​in the region of one month.
We take 8 "tablet on Intel, BT joystick. Quickly collective farm similar body and cradle.
We throw either an android with games, or a Windows. You can add emulators, but the same PSX / PSP / N64, in addition to android games.
We have all sorts of Asphalt, RPG-Shechki, etc.
Profit

Mario was in the trailer, but it is not clear what kind of game it is.

Although the semi-joysticks and the absence of the cross are very puzzling.

By the way, if you notice, they carefully hide them in the trailer (the crosspiece is altered under the buttons). The right half is constantly visible, the left one is closed by hand or simply not removed. Apparently they themselves do not like this idea very much.

Well, I missed the WiiU in my time. Therefore, for me, it is only on the Switch.

ldmonster @ 10/20/2016, 18:19

I understand this is a new Skyrim, which dopilivatsya under the PS4 and XBOneS, the ultimatum.

The old multiplatform - I meant maybe not even 1-in-1, but something that has long been there.
Mass Effect: Andromeda, for example, would not be an old multiplatform. Maybe it will turn out to be (most likely), maybe it will be completely tracing the first three, but still something new.

ldmonster @ 10/20/2016, 18:19

Mario was in the trailer, but it is not clear what kind of game it is.

It seemed to me more like 3D Land from 3DS. If I personally showed Galaxy, I would show Mario flying swallow, it would be recognizable.

Until March is still far away. The money apparently decided. What is there to say, Bethesda apparently has a lot of money. On Igromir, for example, they advertised this ultimatum on the main stage of the softclub, so I am not particularly surprised that they shoved him here. Rather, this is an indicator of 4k graphics (slippers do not throw, I just assumed), and then what can attract a little bit the audience, they say "we have adequate 3rd party support, which was not on the WiiU". In any case, I saw it that way.

I also have a similar bundle of NVIDIA Shield Tablet + Xbox 360 Wireless Controller.

Here, last winter. True, it almost did not play - it turned out to be inconvenient. And the quality of the joystick is very so-so - Okarin on the N64 emulator had to quit and buy a 3DS: it constantly fell from narrow passages.

In connection with the announcement I will ask you to refrain from flooding and flame in the subject. I would not like the theme to turn into a bobbin before the console comes out and appears in the first user on the portal.
For just a chat, I remind you, there is a sectionBreaker

So, today was the first acquaintance with the prefix Nintendo Switch, prefix codenamed NX.

Image announcement from the Nintendo website

[attachment = "8935323: Untitled-1.jpg"]

First look at the first hour, a brief analysis-review of the announcement

At the moment we only havevideorepresenting the console andnews from the Russian-language site Nintendo(the news appeared an hour later, just after I wrote the analysis-review of the announcement, therefore the information did not participate in the writing, no copy-pastes).

Excellent layout that allows you to consider many aspects.

Big version
[attachment = "8936174: SwitchMaket.jpg"]

From the video, you can say that the console itself looks like a regular tablet. Behind this tablet is a stand for installation on a flat surface at an angle of 15-25 degrees.

Cartridges are inserted into the slot from above on the right in the manner of PS Vita (the form factor is also very similar, only slightly thicker). Next to the cartridge connector, there is a 3.5 headphone jack and a ventilation radiator (apparently to air the Nvidia Tegra). From the top left we can see the console power button and sound control buttons.

On the sides of the tablet are two removable controller, the mechanics of which, as can be seen from the announcement, gave designers the idea of ​​a logo. Each controller has a stick and 4 + buttons on the left power button, on the right HOME button. On top of each controller there is a button "+" or "-", which were also present on previous consoles of Nintendo (and in theory replaced Start and Select). The arrangement of the sticks is inverted on each side (from the left stick at the top, with the right at the bottom). On the upper edges of the joysticks are already familiar to everyone Shifty (they are quite standard, nothing new). Next to the shifters, small round buttons are barely noticeable (it is very possible that these are buttons for "unpinning" controllers from the console). We can also see that both controllers can be used both for playing alone and for playing locally with friends. Both controllers operate without wires, which gives us the opportunity to assume the presence of batteries and the built-in bluetooth transmitter.

Also included with the console should godock station, to connect it to the TV and possibly improve the graphics. On the left of the docking station we see a flat LED indicator on the corner and two slots (for cartridges? It is very possible that these are 2 USB ports). If you look at the docking station on the right, you will see a strange niche in the back of the case (why is it still remains a mystery as well).

When you connect the console to the docking station, you can connect the joysticks (Joy-Con Controller) to the special Joy-Con Grip module (parallelepiped on the handles, with a matte surface, with the Switch logo and eight green indicator lights, apparently this is the control of connecting devices to prefix), which apparently works as a transmitter between the console and joysticks and allows them to recharge. It is very possible that its matte surface is nothing more than a trackpad, with a built-in battery.

A new wireless has also been shown.Switch Pro Controller(something between WiiU Pro and Xbox gamepads, and it seemed to me even those PS4 long handles from PS4). As we note in the video, when installing the console in the docking station, we do not need to remove them and attach them to the Switch module. You can simply take a separate gamepad and play with it.

Description from the Nintendo website

October 20, 2016 - in an introductory video released today onhttp://www.nintendo.ru/nintendoswitch,Nintendo provided the opportunity to first get acquainted with its new home gaming system and announced that it will be called the Nintendo Switch. The Nintendo Switch console not only provides the opportunity for single-player and multiplayer games at home, but also allows users to play anytime, anywhere, and with whom they want. The portability of the portable system is now combined with the power of the home gaming system for a completely new style of play.

At home, the Nintendo Switch is located in the Nintendo Switch docking station, with which the console connects to a TV set, allowing you to play with your family and friends in a comfortable setting in your living room. If you remove the Nintendo Switch from the docking station, the console immediately goes into portable mode, and you can take all the video games you played at home with. The Nintendo Switch portability is supported by a bright, high-definition screen. Thus, you can play on the console in the park, on a plane, on a train, in a car or at home with friends.

The Nintendo Switch console is equipped with removable Joy-Con controllers on each side. One player can hold Joy-Con controllers in both hands, two players can pick up one controller, or players can use multiple Joy-Con controllers — various ways of playing are possible. Controllers can be simply returned to their original position or inserted into the holder of a Joy-Con, which resembles traditional controllers. If desired, the player can use the Nintendo Switch Pro controller instead of the Joy-Con controllers. In addition, several players can meet with their Nintendo Switch consoles to participate in local multiplayer contests together.

“I hope that with this first encounter with the Nintendo Switch, players are already imagining how it will be, when they can play anytime, anywhere and how they want,” said Natorndo of Europe President Satoru Sebata. "Our teams in Nintendo and many other developers are doing everything possible to provide you with new and unique game features, and soon we will be able to provide you with more information."

Developers can use different gaming capabilities when creating games, which allows players to choose the right style for themselves.

Today's video contains segments of representative gameplay, demonstrating the freedom of choice that the Nintendo Switch console gives you. Full game demonstrations, a list of games that will be released along with the console, as well as the release date, product configuration, and other details will be shown and announced before the release in March.

Note. The terms used may not coincide with the final version.

Nintendo Switch internals

Nvidia

The Nintendo Switch is powered by a custom Tegra processor. It is a top-performing GeForce gaming graphics cards.

Tobish we get the very Nvidia Tegra, information about which leaked a long time ago. Whether you like it or not, those who want to buy a console will have to accept it.

It is also supported by the custom software, including a new software, and a new version of the game. NVIDIA additionally created new gaming APIs to fully harness this performance. The newest API, NVN, was the gaming to the masses.

I do not think that Nvidia is so interested in doing everything that they say in this paragraph. Converted engines, new libraries, advanced tools. Perhaps there is just information for developers to lure them. For a regular user, there is nothing interesting here, except for the phrase about QUICK gaming (I remember SEGA with its promo, yes Blast Processing!).

The software has been optimized for mobile use cases. This includes custom operating system integration with the GPU to increase both performance and efficiency.
NVIDIA gaming technology is integrated into all of the Nintendo Switch home gaming system.

Well, in these paragraphs, we understand that Nvidia occupies the main part of the insides of the Nintendo Switch and promises us excellent performance, polished interaction of hardware and software, and of course a great gaming experience for all future console users.

5 reasons to postpone the purchase of Nintendo Switch

To be honest, it’s still too early to judge something. The idea itself is good, but as regards implementation, we need to wait for working prototypes. Yesterday, I had a burned burn from the announcement, but seriously, I only have a claim to iron. What sins do Nintendo fans get for Tegra X2?

[thp]

Wowasic
It all depends on what the characteristics of this tegra. The X1 was too good for its time and no one revealed its potential.
The man who posted the photo 10 hours before the release, also laid outthis.
If I really can have a tablet, which is essentially two thirds of the curling 4, then wrap two.
For home console sounds too weak for today. But Nintendo has almost always been weaker than competitors in terms of gross computational power.

[SundayWarrior]

depending on the price, the thing is worth it. If we consider that the on-line spire can be out of the house, then we can assume the presence of a communication module (sim) - if so, and the browser is not miserable, then it can be used as a mega tablet with console capabilities.
if you dream, and the price from the start will be 15-18k, then personally I will cough up. how do you think the class

[Wowasic]

thp,claims to tegre not because of power, but because of energy efficiency, heat and stability of work. At one time, for almost a month, he owned a tablet and the local game did not compare favorably with the iron of any powerful tablet - it heated wildly, consumed the battery and pleased with departures from games during long sessions (4 hours or more). Personally, I will still hope for the best, after all, 3DS shows the wonders of the grafon on its hardware. Yes, and Wii U does not experience any technical problems in games. The same zenoblade X shows just a smart, albeit an outdated picture with a stable frame rate. As for the price of the wangwi - 25 tyr.

I do not know how true, but herehttp://www.3dnews.ru/941319
fairly detailed specifications tegra x2

[zyakin]

It was impossible to make just a powerful console with its exclusives, hit games and multiplatform and all? What for to invent a bicycle? What a pancake nedojojstyiki, what that strange tablets. Damn, I have a tablet, and the mobile speed is akin to this new console. I sold my Wii U at the beginning of the week, and now I have no regrets, because a ton of joysticks, a ton of licenses, etc. apparently in the next generation is no longer relevant. As one friend wrote on one site:
Nintendapromahnulas!
Goodbye to the tendend!

to each his own! I really liked this approach, and I have already decided that I will buy it. If they grind the support of old platforms, then there will generally be a BOMB!
