No dock, no sale for me.

If this is to counter the idea that its underpowered for a console, but okay for a portable... That's no good for me. I just can't play games handheld on small screens anymore.

It at least has an HDMI out, right?

By all accounts the successor to the Switch is going to be significantly more powerful and capable of RTX. At worst itll be on-par with a PS4 Pro/Xbox One X and at best itll be on-par with the Xbox Series S.

There is no sane wireless TV connection and HDMI is basically dying at this point


What's it been replaced by? Everything I own is still HDMI.

I don't care if it has a dock or not.

Is it backwards compatible is what I want to know, with digital purchases and physical carts. That's what will make or break a day one buy for me.

My biggest concern would be if I can play it comfortably from my TV or not. Perhaps aftermarket companies will build custom docks if this doesn't come with them. Backwards compatibility is my second concern. If it doesn't do both I'll probably not bother. Not unless there's a great game lined up for its release or something.

Super Play sounds like a codename, similar to in the past:

N64 == Project Reality
Gamecube == Dolphin
Wii == Revolution
Wii U == Project Cafe
Switch == NX

The wording doesn't suggest it can't connect to a TV, it just suggests it will be able to do without literally requiring a dock. That's what "Maintaining the existing concept" means, I think.

Maybe, instead of a dock, the cable just goes directly to the console, itself.

There's only one thing I care about...

It better be backwards compatible with Switch games.

This. And I wish they would just call it the Super Switch. Rolls right off the tongue

So maybe like a Wii U without a separate console to the game pad.

Yeah, something like that.

Since it says "maintaining the existing concept," I can't imagine it NOT connecting to a TV in some way. Especially since that seems to be their focus, even with the Switch, as of late. If you look at recent ads, they're like, 75% showing people playing on a TV (or with the kickstand, same concept,) and only 25% people playing handheld.

All Nintendo literally had to do was shove a Ryzen Z1/7840U in a Steamdeck copycat.

At least the rumors point to a somewhat capable device and not extremely outdated at launch but it might not even beat an Xbox One X or Series S.

"No dock" probably just means you'll have to pay an extra $50 for it because it won't come included in the box.

Nintendo has made the false choice that a proper home console and a modern handheld console can't coexist.

I'm sure this will be true just like every other rumor for the last three years about the switch 2.

Sony is the worse culprit here if you're gonna have that attitude.

Not being dockable doesn't make any sense. Its gonna be hooked to the TV, and it benefits from fans and cooling with a dock.

If this leak is actually have some sort of credence, then the question is if they will sell it with a dock or separately. Or if OLED dock can be used.

I really really doubt it will beat a Series X or S imma be real with you. I can't put into words the architecture or GPU it'll have, but probably just barely more powerful than the current switch but with a few trimmings from the OLED. Although I think we know it will have an LCD display again

Nintendo would've had to go out of its way to make it barely more powerful for the Switch. That CPU lineage is dead and they went a bit more modern. The Switch was failed Tegra surplus from years prior.

Switch is built on ARM so no that would not be "literally all" unless you don't care about backwards compatibility.
