I own a Wii U but it looks like the Switch version is the way to go. It looks and runs better in every professional comparison vid I've seen. I want my first play through of this game to be the best running version, so Switch version it is.
Hopefully Nintendo designed it so you can "switch" out the battery with a better one.

No, MK8 on Wii U is 720p.
This can only be because the game wasn't shaping up to be good. No publisher wants to knowingly release a bad game so the cancellation is understood. And don't think Platinum can't make a bad game. Their recent TMNT game was heavily panned.
I'd have to disagree. Switch functions as a console but it's also Nintendo's next portable, and all Nintendo's portables have been successful, not counting Virtual Boy since that's not a true portable. And for the first time ever with Switch, ALL Nintendo games next gen will release on only one system instead of two. So even if 3rd parties don't commit strongly, Switch will still get ALOT of Nintendo 1st party games, which will draw a lot of people. Plus it's launc...
It astounds me that SE does nothing with the Chrono Trigger ip. A turn based remake and a proper sequel would be great.
The 3DS is ready to be retired though. It released in March of 2011, and Switch releases March of 2017. That's a six year gap, which is pretty long by game console lifecycle standards.
Scalpers will love this.
Agreed. Nintendo needs to discount and price-drop their games more often.
Only if you pretend Nintendo doesn't exist.
I'd buy this on Switch.
Good point. I'm thinking Microsoft wants to move away from the Xbox One name since there's still a bit of a stigma to it, so I'm doubting it will include One in the name.
From what I understand, Sega still sells new Master Systems over there too.
They're pretty affordable now I'd say.
Has that been confirmed? I thought Nintendo said that they have some big reveals about Switch in January, and maybe they'll shed some light on what all the dock does.
Ouch. Those are not good numbers. I'm hoping the dock has some processing power to boost the Switch when docked or even within a several foot range. Think cloud computing except it's external computing done locally via Bluetooth or whatever.
Has any open world game ever been 60fps on a console unless it's a remaster of an old game, and by old I mean 2 generations or more old?

I never said there weren't droughts. There were plenty of them. I was responding to a comment about the overall length of time the Wii U's been supported. Four and a half years is a long time to support a console that's sold as poorly as Wii U. Most other companies would have given up sooner.
If they pack in a special edition of Mario Kart 8 in with the Switch, that console will fly off the shelves.
You can expect Scorpio to be $499 to $599 USD.
