Mike, can't post the entire thing, as basically the 3 files you posted are e-books encoded in html, hence why they are zip files, they contain a bunch of different files which are elements of the ebook, so you can't just use the html file by itself.

If 3.25 GB of RAM is what's available for games that's not too far off the PS4 and XB1. It's not the same either but it's good.

Whilst these are pretty good, I'd still take it with a pinch of salt.

In other news I don't know if the game "Snake Pass" has been mentioned yet but it looks really fun! From Sumo and it was ported to the Switch in approximately a week. It's expected to release in Q1 which funnily enough ends in March, so it's looking like a launch month game...

New ads for America. I was wondering when these would come out.


Edit: also an interview with Miyamoto.

The trailer is deceiving as it's on PC. I think they didn't even have a Switch dev kit at the time.

I know this hence why I say "if this is what the final game looks like" haha. I didn't quite make that clear enough.

Watching Bob's Burgers on Adult Swim and it's a commercial break when I hear that all too familiar "click." I snap my head to the TV to see the Nintendo Switch Super Bowl ad playing live on my TV once again.

It is shared though between CPU and GPU, but then consoles tend to be more efficient in memory management than PCs. The specs don't look super good, but they are definitely good enough it seems. In the past I used to play games on the very cheap Geforce 520 and it worked pretty good for older games. As for the Switch, I think it should have no problem with medium settings. I think a lot of money went in the joy-con controllers, I hope they will be good to use, they seem interesting.

Currently my main PC has the EVGA Geforce GTX 750 Ti FTW edition which was one of the first Maxwell cards I think, and I am very happy with it, of course, the Switch won't get close to the performance of this card.

DLC announced for Breath of the Wild along with the possibility of 2D 3DS style Zelda on the Switch.

So, is the Switch still not the successor to the 3DS Nintendo? ;)

Yeah, fingers crossed I suppose. I'd hope they'd let you try out at least one level before you buy but who knows.

It's not on the internet but I've just seen a new ad that shows off Zelda, Arms, and Splatoon 2.

FIFA 18 has been shown off in a new trailer and it looks fairly decent!

Not to mention EA's promise of exclusive Switch features seems to subtly shown here with two people playing on two different systems in the trailer...

The GPU clock is a little low though, so the biggest concern may be framrate. But well, there is so much in graphics that can be tinkered with, and if a game is too demanding, they can always just lower the resolution to 720. I wonder though if graphic intensive games might end up looking bad when being played in portable mode.

From what I've been reading about the subject it seems like the PS4/XB1 run UE4 at high settings while Switch could be compared to medium settings. Frankly that's enough for me considering it's portable and a sacrifice I'm more than willing to make.
