Nintendo SWITCH(NX) Information - March 3, 2017

I want a second charger so I can bring it to work, looks like the Nintendo one is available in some places for 30-35 or I could roll with the Google pixel one for 35. Also really want a second dock so I can bring the console into the bedroom and just pop it in instead of always being handheld, but they are charging an ass load for that piece of plastic which just houses a USB C to hdmi. Looks like there's some 3d printed ones popping up, come on reddit!

Get the nintendo charger. Nintendo doesn't use power delivery and the pixel doesn't deliver the 15v @ 2.6A

The USB-C charging world is a bitch.

[Boyiee]

Damn everything on reddit says go for the pixel one and I could use it for other things too.

I'm using my pixel charger and it's been running fine for me.

[Ratatapa]

Pixel charger?

[octopus]

The Google Pixel phone uses a usb-c charger, I just use it to charge my switch as well.

[Ratatapa]

Oh I see

[Boyiee]

I'm using my pixel charger and it's been running fine for me.

But is it powerful enough to charge it while playing?

[octopus]

I haven't tried, I always play it unplugged and then charge it overnight lol

[jacobs67]

I bought a USB-C charger and even though it shows it charging, the console drains faster than it charges while I'm playing and it quickly dies. Have to stop playing to let the console charge at all

[Serra]

I've been using an Anker battery pack thing and haven't had any problems with playing while it charges.

Switch allows games to use 3 of it's 4 Cores and 3GB of RAM max

But ram is so cheap...

[Kirin]

So basically Nintendo and Sony use 75% of available RAM for games and MS uses 62%.

Nintendo does what Microdon't.

Including exclusives.

But XBOX is not a gaming console it'S a media center!

Well, MS still has a lot more RAM available to games than Nintendo does, and isn't spinning features off to a smartphone app.

I suspect that Sony is able to do that in part due to having a co computer in there with its own RAM/etc.

Speculation: New Pokémon game could be headed to the Switch; Game Freak recruiting

The listings go on to describe that the new hires will be creating character models for a popular RPG; more specifically, they’ll be responsible for designing models of “toon-like” figures, monsters and items. The character modeler position listing makes a point to mention the hunt for someone with experience creating character models at the level of Wii U and PS Vita while having a background in 3D modeling and animation software Maya.

I figured "Pokemon Star" would be further along than needing a modeler right now. Almost wonder if it isnt more along the lines of a B2W2 sequel for Switch.

Edit: Seems Capcom requested that Nintendo bump the RAM up to 4 gigs. Reason being that it couldnt run the engine that powers RE7 without it.

Interesting...

Microsoft is probably going to bump that ram usage soon. They killed their snap feature and they're going to unlock that two extra gb of ram.

Gamestop announced that they'll be restocked of Switches on Wednesday.
