Not surprising. Nintendo could have made it at least 20% more powerful

They probably could have made it 100% more powerful if they wanted to charge an extra $200 for it, but as it is people are complaining about the price and battery life.

That being said, I do wish they'd waited a year and made use of the new GPU and processor tech, they could have squeezed a little extra power out without significantly impacting price or battery life.

Considering its a handheld , no, not surprised. wud be if they said its better than console versions. Honestly, if Nintendo had made a home console and it was as powerful as Switch then yes, id complain. But the beauty of Switch is its portable nature.

even when Nintendo says it is a HOME console with portable capabilities? You people need to stop lying when Nintendo is saying this is not a handheld but a home console.

According to Nintendo it's a home console. One that you can take with you, yes, but it can still be used as a home console. It replaces the Wii U, not the 3DS.

If something is handheld then its handheld, you both just contradicted yourselves. Its just a bonus that you can play it in the style of a console. You really gunna try convince me that small hanheld tablet is a home console?

Since the Wii U isn't being made anymore this means Nintendo doesn't have a home console at all currently?

Or could it be that the Switch is trying to be both?

Agreed.

Moot.

Of course many games will face this problem. This device was not made to play those demanding PC,PS4 and XBONE games.

They will be fine. 3DS and DS didn't need major AAA games from PC, PS3 or 360 to succeeded.

I think this is simply being caused by Nintendo choosing to market it as a home console. No one was asking 3DS to have Mass Effect or RE6 etc lol

Eddie did you even read their comments? Did you forget the gospel that your Nintendo overlords once said? Your holy Nintendo already declared it a home console. You don't dare question what your gods say do you?! Quick someone get this man a shepard! A sheep has wandered astray! Quick tell him how awesome it is to use friend codes! How online gaming isn't important, that voice chat through your phone is a good idea! EddieNX: "oh yeah.. of course friend codes are awesome! and duh it's so much more convenient to do voice chat through your phone! but wait.. Isn't online irrelevant anyway? error in fanboy logic error does not comp-jksaldjaosijo" oh shit eddie just broke.. well just goes to show, doesn't do any good to use logic with a fanboy.

Nintendo can say that the Switch is a home console until they're blue in the face, it doesn't change the fact that the thing is a handheld.

Have you seen its size? It's barely bigger than a smartphone. About 1/7th the size of a Playstation 4.

The machine's power is pretty decent given its size. People expecting it to come anywhere close to an Xbox One, let alone a PS4, need a reality check.

For real. I have a Zmax Pro, and with the phone case, it's the same size as my Switch. My Switch dock isn't even connected to my TV, and I pretty much use it exclusively in handheld mode. Show me any device with a battery, attachable controls and a touch screen, and I'll tell you that it's a handheld device. For how small of a device it is, the Switch has some pretty amazing performance.

I am very excited about this game. Shame it's long road to release wasn't easier, and still isn't looking at the Switch. Hope it's worth all the hassle for the team and the wait for the fans
