DrGravitas Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Wow, you know it's going to be big when even Amazon isn't letting you preorder due to stock. They've always been the ones to let you sit on a pre-order list without regards to stock, in my experience. Granted, it's been a long time since I last did that, so maybe their policy changed. Either way, I've decided I'm interested enough to do the preorder thing again, when it comes back in stock. I will NOT be camping out or hopping from store to store looking for one on opening day, tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirRob Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 As salty as I am about the Wii U being replaced (because I really am a fan of the Wii U and the games I've got on it), I'm ready to move on from the 3DS. It just feels really antiquated at this point, compared to what the Switch can do as a handheld. I wonder if Nintendo is going to make a successor to its handheld line up? I know the Switch seems like an upgrade for both the Wii U and 3DS, but there's probably still a market for a dedicated handheld. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if it managed to be as compact as the original 3DS.  And played Nintendo games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Käpt'n Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I don't like what I heard about the Switch's power consumption. It's been known for a while now that you can play for about three hours from a full charge. Which isn't really my problem. What I don't like is that to charge the damn thing you actually need a ton of power. More power than a regular phone charger will supply. I have two pretty beastly chargers (by phone standards). One regular wall charger and a 16.000 mAh powerbank. They both support Chick Charge 3. Neither of them delivers enough power to actually charge the Switch while using it. It uses power faster than my chargers can deliver it. When I heard that the Switch uses a USB-C port I figured it would work perfectly with my powerbank. Well, I guess not... The power supply that comes with the Switch delivers 12V at 2.4A. Almost no phone charger comes close to that and I have never seen a powerbank that delivers that much juice. If you use a cheap 1A phone charger apparently it takes like 8 hours to fully charge the Switch... 2 hours with the Nintendo charger. The Nintendo charger is also capable of charging the console while you use it. Another issue that I see is how long the battery will actually survive. If battery life isn't great and if charging it on the go really is an issue to me that means that almost all Switchs will constantly be completely drained. That kills lithium batteries... And the battery can't easily be replaced. Which means if your battery breaks after the warranty period you no longer have a portable console.
