Nintendo Switch Discussion

It's confirmed that it won't be backwards compatible with either the 3DS or the Wii U in an interview with Famitsu and Nintendo.

Well that stinks.

No backwards compatability means BIG is DOA. RIP SBS.

Don't worry... they'll probably switch to the Switch

That pun made me unwatch this thread.

I was thinking of the homebrew potential for this console (a bit early, I know :P), but I was curious if this system could have enough power to run a GameCube emulator; maybe even on the go. It's probably possible, but is it usable? At least 40 frames per second, I mean. There has to be some major horsepower in the system to be able to run Breath of the Wild on the go. Especially since now the system has a vent for system exhaust. But one of my biggest concerns is battery life. I want to be able to play this thing for at least four hours. I kind of doubt that the system could have lasted the full time it takes to wait for your flight, play for the whole ride, and play while you get driven to your hotel. That's like 5 hours minimum. But overall, I have a lot of faith in the Switch and what it can do, and maybe make Nintendo lead the competition again like it once did.

If the thing has the specs said by Giovanify, the thing could technically run Android if modified correctly

Mainstream Switch hax will probably take at least a year, though. :/

Prepare for trouble!

Make it double!

To protect the world from devastation!

To unite all peoples within our nation!

Tem Rocket Blast off at the speed of light!

Surrender now, or prepare to fight! Also, I noticed an extreme lack of denouncing the evils of truth and love.
