00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:07,120
Nintendo recently released tech specs on their switch page but it hasn't been all

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:12,200
that useful their CPU and GPU are currently listed as NVIDIA customized

3
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:16,160
Tegra processor which could be a rather wide range of performance and they've

4
00:00:14,519 --> 00:00:20,600
also told some Publications that its clock speed is halfed when you take it

5
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:25,800
out of the dock although they told me today that nothing changes when it's

6
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:30,119
undocked so not really sure what's going on there tunnel bear is the simple VPN

7
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:34,000
app that makes it easy to browse privately and enjoy a more open internet

8
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:39,600
try tunnel bear for free at the link below the screen is a 720p 6.2 in

9
00:00:37,399 --> 00:00:44,120
capacitive panel although I don't know if it's just like a really good TN panel

10
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:48,160
or if it's some IPS technology going on on top of the console amongst the power

11
00:00:46,039 --> 00:00:52,320
button volume buttons and an audio jack for connecting headphones microphones

12
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:56,320
and headsets there's a game card slot on the back side there's a kickstand so you

13
00:00:53,960 --> 00:01:03,120
can prop the console up a Micro SD card slot that is compatible with micro SD

14
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:04,799
micro SDHC and Micro SDXC memory cards

15
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:09,320
and while it has been quoted multiple times that it only supports up to 256

16
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:13,600
gig cards recent statements from Nintendo state that up to 2 terab cards

17
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:17,600
will work just fine once they're available and then at the very bottom

18
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:21,880
there is a USB type-c connector this can be used to connect devices such as an AC

19
00:01:19,479 --> 00:01:25,920
adapter a battery bank or a Nintendo switch dock with the joycon controllers

20
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:32,560
attached to the rails located on the side of the console it will weigh just

21
00:01:28,119 --> 00:01:34,439
398 G internally there is 32 GB of

22
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:39,520
internal storage and a portion of that is reserved for the system so you don't

23
00:01:37,479 --> 00:01:43,799
have a ton of room to play with and it's fairly expected that you will get an SD

24
00:01:41,799 --> 00:01:48,560
card to the point where the game case that they're selling that I've seen so

25
00:01:45,320 --> 00:01:52,880
far has two SD card slots in it it has a

26
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:55,399
4,310 mAh battery and it is not user

27
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:59,240
replaceable at all if the battery does need to be replaced Nintendo will offer

28
00:01:57,079 --> 00:02:03,000
a paid replacement through Nintendo customer supp Port Said battery will

29
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:08,879
take 3 hours to charge and will last roughly 3 hours in Zelda breath of the

30
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:11,080
wild but is quoted to last over 6 hours

31
00:02:08,879 --> 00:02:14,160
if software and usage conditions are optimal the switch can be used in

32
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:18,040
handheld mode similar to something like a Game Boy tabletop mode if you're away

33
00:02:16,519 --> 00:02:22,160
from home and playing with friends or simply don't want to hold on to it and

34
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:25,920
last but not least TV mode where you would connect the console to the dock

35
00:02:23,959 --> 00:02:30,080
the docket cell features two USB ports on the side which can be used to charge

36
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:34,400
various wireless controllers or support something like an Ethernet over USB

37
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:38,480
adapter and of course in the base of the unit there's a USB type-c connector to

38
00:02:36,519 --> 00:02:42,480
connect the console moving to the back which I actually kind of got in a lot of

39
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:46,879
trouble for trying to open at the event there's an AC adapter an HDMI port and a

40
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:51,360
single USB port which is currently set to 2.0 but has 3.0 support planned for

41
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:55,720
the future now this is purely speculation but considering the dock is

42
00:02:53,280 --> 00:03:00,000
essentially a nicely stylized USB type-c hub plus a place to hold your switch I

43
00:02:58,319 --> 00:03:05,640
can see third party options coming around that are just essentially breakout cables essentially you could

44
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:11,640
have a really value option of just a USB type-c cable to your console that breaks

45
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:13,280
out to AC wall power and HDMI out it's

46
00:03:11,640 --> 00:03:16,560
doesn't have as many features and you'd have to lay the console down but it

47
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:20,480
would work and it would be nice and cheap compared to the $90 price tag of

48
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:24,959
the Nintendo switch doc the joycon controllers will come in a standard gray

49
00:03:22,159 --> 00:03:29,799
color or neon blue and neon red they have approximately 20 hours of battery

50
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:31,519
life and can charge to full in 3.5 hours

51
00:03:29,799 --> 00:03:35,680
to charge them you need to rail them onto the side of the switch console

52
00:03:33,599 --> 00:03:39,280
itself if it's docked they'll just charge up right away and if it's

53
00:03:37,159 --> 00:03:43,239
undocked they won't charge unless they are specifically at very low battery

54
00:03:41,519 --> 00:03:46,879
they have HD Rumble for precise vibrations and weigh roughly 50 g each

55
00:03:45,519 --> 00:03:50,959
with the right side controller having NFC for amiibo support and an IR motion

56
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:55,959
camera just in case you want to play like rock paper scissors or something

57
00:03:53,480 --> 00:04:00,079
also the battery is again not user replaceable and will have to be a paid

58
00:03:58,239 --> 00:04:04,480
service from Nintendo incl included in the Box are also some joyon straps which

59
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:09,239
must be railed into each controller and feature enhanced shoulder buttons there

60
00:04:06,519 --> 00:04:12,920
is also the option for the joycon grip the one included with the system has no

61
00:04:10,959 --> 00:04:17,120
specific features other than pass through for the power indicator LEDs on

62
00:04:14,879 --> 00:04:20,880
the joy-cons it literally just holds them and adds some handles if you want

63
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:25,199
to be able to charge them through the grip accessory you need to buy an

64
00:04:23,199 --> 00:04:29,080
additional grip accessory that supports charging now there has been some

65
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:33,440
confusion over how exactly the joy-con controllers connect to the switch itself

66
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:38,360
with a lot of the speculation being around Bluetooth this may or may not be

67
00:04:36,039 --> 00:04:43,520
related but I was pulled up on stage to play Mario Kart 8 Deluxe against some

68
00:04:40,840 --> 00:04:48,759
other dude I was fairly confident as I've played my fair share of Mario Cart

69
00:04:45,919 --> 00:04:53,800
8 on the Wii U and I placed myself on the left hand side farthest from the

70
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:58,600
switch console may I add I would try to drift to the right around a corner and

71
00:04:56,479 --> 00:05:02,479
would thus be thrown directly into a wall on the left

72
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:06,280
it was frustrating and there was other problems like that now I thought that it

73
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:10,240
was just because of this training wheels feature that will help bring you down

74
00:05:07,759 --> 00:05:14,360
the track I thought that maybe my Pro Mario Kart 8 Deluxe moves were actually

75
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:18,720
screwing with the training wheels and resulting in some weird actions and I

76
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:22,880
thought I was just above that but no apparently it was just some Wireless

77
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:25,479
interference in the actual showroom because of the amount of wireless

78
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,720
devices and switch consoles that were there they moved me from the other side

79
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:34,360
of the stage closer to the switch console and bam everything worked just

80
00:05:31,759 --> 00:05:40,520
fine I was able to climb from 12th Place dead last to 9th in just a few seconds

81
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:47,520
but the damage was done the other guy came in third I lost my pride damaged

82
00:05:45,479 --> 00:05:53,800
but they got me another race a chance to redeem myself they put me on stage

83
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:56,720
against a little girl I'll let you watch

84
00:05:53,800 --> 00:06:01,280
how that came out my man Luke came up here all right you're going to come over

85
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:05,160
here for lack of words you just got humiliated in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe right

86
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:10,919
so you're going to have to make some choices Luke this is Lyla she's very

87
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:15,759
good at this G by the way but the other situation is if Lyla beats you you're

88
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:19,840
going to be humiliated again and then you got to carry that into tomorrow so a

89
00:06:17,319 --> 00:06:25,680
bigger bag yeah see that that both rocks just got bigger they're Boulders okay so

90
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:30,199
good luck I mean I I wish you the best I really do so folks For Your

91
00:06:28,280 --> 00:06:35,319
Entertainment Maybe for Luke's humiliation I don't know this is Mario

92
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:40,199
Kart 8 Deluxe gentlemen can we go and get that on the screen good luck sir I

93
00:06:38,199 --> 00:06:44,639
guess that's the best I can tell you I tried to stop before the Finish Line I

94
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:49,400
didn't want to be a massive jerk and beat a little girl at Mario Kart in

95
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:53,560
front of her mom on stage I turned into the wall and I let off the accelerator

96
00:06:51,280 --> 00:07:00,599
but it dragged me over the freaking Finish Line at first I thought this was

97
00:06:56,199 --> 00:07:03,120
momentum and I was rather surprised felt

98
00:07:00,599 --> 00:07:07,800
horrible how could I have done this then I realized it was that damn training

99
00:07:05,199 --> 00:07:12,520
wheels feature that I mentioned earlier in an attempt to help me it made me

100
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:17,599
continue down the course and over the Finish Line in the single most

101
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:24,039
horrifying accidental Victory I have ever achieved ideally I wanted to spend

102
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:31,199
the majority of the race in first but then let her win that would have been

103
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:33,840
the non horrible thing to do instead I

104
00:07:31,199 --> 00:07:38,240
came in first this was observed by a large percentage of the people at the

105
00:07:35,879 --> 00:07:42,919
event and very few understood that it was the training wheels that made me win

106
00:07:40,759 --> 00:07:47,199
I will forever be known as that guy who got crushed then proceeded to join

107
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:52,240
another match against a little girl and beat her at Mario Kart 8 on stage in

108
00:07:49,319 --> 00:07:57,159
front of her mom I'm never going to outlive this and if you're watching lla

109
00:07:54,800 --> 00:08:00,360
you're awesome good race and if I see you at another event I'm sure you'll

110
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:05,240
beat me then this isn't the most powerful piece of technology ever and

111
00:08:02,599 --> 00:08:08,560
that's a bit of an understatement unfortunately I was unable to play

112
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:13,840
breath of the wild but it apparently runs at 30fps but the games that I did

113
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:18,479
play like Mario Kart for example did feel very smooth and looked great even

114
00:08:15,919 --> 00:08:22,479
despite the 720p resolution in handheld mode because of stuff like their art

115
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:27,159
style Nintendo consoles aren't something that you buy for their blazing fast

116
00:08:24,599 --> 00:08:30,879
performance you buy a PC for that the ability to take this everywhere you go

117
00:08:29,159 --> 00:08:35,120
char ing it off battery Banks if you need to and then coming home and putting

118
00:08:32,839 --> 00:08:40,200
it on a dock for the same quality but maybe even upgraded to 1080P and playing

119
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:44,560
on the couch is a pretty great experience and yeah I agree it should

120
00:08:42,560 --> 00:08:48,760
have included something in the box like switch sports or something similar to

121
00:08:46,839 --> 00:08:53,360
Wii Sports and it would have been really cool if they could have included one two

122
00:08:51,279 --> 00:08:57,800
switch because that game looks hilariously awesome to play with friends

123
00:08:55,680 --> 00:09:03,040
like who would have thought of milking a cow on the Nintendo switch I I don't

124
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:07,040
know but it would be fun and I expect that game to go underappreciated because

125
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:11,519
of its premium price tag it's out of stock everywhere as far as I can tell

126
00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:16,240
and reselling pre-orders for nearly twice the price on eBay seems to be

127
00:09:14,079 --> 00:09:19,360
popular right now so maybe wait a bit before deciding if you're going to buy

128
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:25,320
one or not but once they're available again I definitely will although I admit

129
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:27,279
I'm a bit of a Nintendo Fanboy a

130
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:32,279
high-powered computer and a modern Nintendo console have always been a

131
00:09:29,680 --> 00:09:37,160
fantastic pair in my opinion and I'm excited for what the future of the

132
00:09:34,079 --> 00:09:37,160
switch has to offer
