See that's the thing that differs with me on Nintendo consoles.

I don't need the same horsepower that the PS4 Scorpio and all that needs.

Mario, Pikmin, Zelda, Animal Crossing, etc. is not going to require all that power that other titles I will get on my PS4 will.

Make it a unique console that is portable as they have done and I'm game!

FYI, Skyrim isn't confirmed for Switch despite being in the video -https://twitter.com/Nibellion/status/789194020241022976

My big concern is how much of that stuff actually comes in the box. How many of those accessories are going to run us another 30-40 bucks?

I'm not saying it needs Scorpio horsepower.

I'm saying it can't fall too far behind or it will be a mainstream flop.

Madden was on the Wii, but it was a crappy version. 3rd party games are going to need parity otherwise they will fall by the wayside and this will just be another failure.

God bless moving away from disc-based format though. So ready for that to leave. The drawbacks to them are dumb and dealing with them in 2016 is silly.

What are the draw backs? I was under the impression all the discs were for at this point was to prove you owned the game. They don't even spin when playing games. It's all on the HD.

I wasn't referring to your statement lol. My statement is agreeing with what you said.

You said it's not a big deal, I was agreeing that to me, it's not needing that horsepower.

There were some posts about the Scorpio and all that being more powerful.

I don't care at all about Nintendos horse power. I literally just get it for Mario, Zelda, DK etc.

It's trouble third party wise if it's severely under powered though. But you would think they know that by now.

Pretty sure the discs still spin while playing.

There isn't any spinning for the cartridge though like there is with a hard drive. That memory is faster than any hard drives that get put into consoles.
