Nintendo Switch Revealed! Interesting Things to Note

Well it's finally be revealed! Codenamed NX has been shown to the world and its name is the Nintendo Switch!
Cue the images!


This is one weird, but interesting device. Anyway, I'm not here to sell it. NX speculations confirmed. dual-type device for home and on the go.
Tablet to console, to handheld. Controls on the sides in handheld mode are confirmed removable. The controls are wireless and may operate via Bluetooth with a flat layout like the 3DS/Wii U gamepad. The layout is also similar to the Xbox line of controllers (or the GameCube...)

 This controller, which seems like the standard controller has what looks like a touchpad, that most likely works with amiibo.

Removed controls operating wirelessly
Nintendo went with a slate form handheld approach so I'm left wondering about the 3DS lines. I have no worries then, but I doubt we'll be seeing a main Pokemon game or such "handheld titles" on the Switch.
Which leaves me thinking that the 3DS isn't over yet.

And here's that confirmed flash memory! Like the 3DS on the go, the cartridge system is back at home. A great move in this time. Flash memory is now standard and incredibly stable.

And what's this!? A pro controller!? Nintendo didn't forget about us hardcores. But what really got me tripping is the games showed in the trailers. We have big 3rd party support it seems!
In fact I came across this tweet!


And among this hype is what looks like updated Splatoon (Splatoon 2!!!?) and a new Mario game!


I'm just jotting down the things I noticed in here which look quite interesting. Including those amiibo lined up next to the console. Technically Nintendo is still doing the Dual screen thing and I wouldn't have it any other way!
Check out the trailer for the Switch here if you haven't or even if you've seen it already! No free stuff today, just hype!


UPDATE:
Rogersbase just put up a video on the Switch. Check it out for his amazing reaction as he talks about some of the stuff I highlighted here!

Spotlight: Character Design - Tetsuya Nomura

  After going through the internet in recent weeks and getting stressed over some details of Final Fantasy XV and it's reception, I set out to write a Defense of Nomura post. TWICE. However, I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted to say that hasn't already been said by others, nor how to say it without being the ultimate fanboy. Furthermore, I started to question myself. As an aspiring character designer, why do I even like the art of Tetsuya Nomura? What about it makes it so, "interesting." In truth, I'm just going to wing it while listening to Jpop. Hello. If you've been to this blog before, I take it you've seen my last post was Christmas 2016. Truth is, my computer died and the replacement is also nonoperational until I get a replacement HDD. So, I've busted out my beloved HP Chromebook 14 and instead of watching anime or YouTube videos, I've decided to do something a bit more constructive. Tetsuya Nomura is well known as the creat...

The Edge

image from hongkiat Microsoft Edge is... not perfect. It's good, don't get me wrong. It's nowhere as bad as most people say or would think it is. But given its competition, and everyone's main rival, Chrome, Edge has had quite a battle to fight, even still with the upcoming switch to Chromium. Having debuted in 2015, Edge pretty much started with an uphill battle. It's predecessor, Internet Explorer left a bad taste in most techies' mouths over the years, becoming the butt of memes and jokes about being slow and having its sole purpose being to inevitably download Chrome.  But Edge is NOT IE. And, while I'm at it, I'll defend Internet Explorer just a bit. Let's be fair, a clean, not weighed down by a million toolbars IE actually works well enough to get some work done. Edge, is not an amplification of that sentiment, however. Edge is a new direction; the right direction, more or less. With its host of amazing features and tricks, Microsoft E...
