I'm very intrigued by this console. I switched to Steam after the PS3 and thought I'd never get a TV based console again.
I really love the slide-in controllers.
A few things I hope for would be:
* Open specs for the slide-in controllers so that third parties can satisfy various niches (like the fighting game community)
* A standard USB-C or micro-USB charging port so that people can use their existing power banks/chargers
* A well implemented eStore (with purchases that aren't bound to a single device) with a huge back catalog of games from their older consoles
* Compatibility with Nintendo's older wireless controllers
- ianai 10y agoWhat would be the business decision for them allowing cross device purchases? They might be selling the console at a loss for game revenue.
- slantyyz 10y agoIIRC, it was a huge issue for the 3DS. If you lost or damaged your 3DS, it was a real pain to get all your downloaded games back on a replacement device.
- astrange 10y agoIt's no problem since they introduced actual accounts (Nintendo ID). But you still lose your 3DS friends list, and games can only be installed on one system at a time.
- nf05papsjfVbc 10y agoNintendo hasn't sold devices at a loss unlike some other game console makers. At one point they were the only major console provider to make a profit on the device.
- PrimHelios 10y ago> Compatibility with Nintendo's older wireless controllers Well, it looks like it uses bluetooth. If it uses a standard bluetooth stack, they might let other BT controllers (such as the PS4, Wii U Pro and Xbone) work with the system. I really have a lot of high hopes for this, but I don't wanna get super excited without knowing any of the specs.
