S1E37 - The Nintendo Switch Revealed - “What do you stall for?”

The Nintendo Switch Revealed


In this episode:


The Nintendo Switch is unveiled! And being the Nintendo fans
we are, there was just no way that we could go a week without
talking about it.

Here’s what we know so far: It’s a handheld system AND a home
console with detachable controllers that you can use in different
configurations. They’re called JoyCons, but there’s also a Pro
Controller available. There is also a spacer-thingy that connects
the JoyCons into an almost-Pro Controller. You can also use the
JoyCons double-handed like a Wii Nunchuck.

There’s a kickstand on the main screen and a 3.5mm headphone
port! It’s HD and cartridge based.

We saw lots of games for it including a new 3D Mario game, a
Mario Kart, some kind of basketball game (that neither of us know
about, but y’all might), Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Splatoon, and
Skyrim.

And then we go into geeky-speculation mode, which is always
fun. We talk expandable storage (because Void does all his games
digitally), is there a touch screen (and do we want one?), how
long is the battery life, and just how useful is the console
dock? Do we get a charging cable?

What about release day? Is this a day 1 purchase? Well, that
depends on the price. If it’s a high-dollar console, Nintendo may
be in murky water. If it’s under $250, there’s a huge chance
we’ll buy it early.
