00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:07.120
Nintendo recently released tech specs on their switch page but it hasn't been all

00:00:04.640 --> 00:00:12.200
that useful their CPU and GPU are currently listed as NVIDIA customized

00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:16.160
Tegra processor which could be a rather wide range of performance and they've

00:00:14.519 --> 00:00:20.600
also told some Publications that its clock speed is halfed when you take it

00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:25.800
out of the dock although they told me today that nothing changes when it's

00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:30.119
undocked so not really sure what's going on there tunnel bear is the simple VPN

00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:34.000
app that makes it easy to browse privately and enjoy a more open internet

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

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

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

00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:52.320
button volume buttons and an audio jack for connecting headphones microphones

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

00:00:53.960 --> 00:01:03.120
can prop the console up a Micro SD card slot that is compatible with micro SD

00:00:58.680 --> 00:01:04.799
micro SDHC and Micro SDXC memory cards

00:01:03.120 --> 00:01:09.320
and while it has been quoted multiple times that it only supports up to 256

00:01:07.360 --> 00:01:13.600
gig cards recent statements from Nintendo state that up to 2 terab cards

00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:17.600
will work just fine once they're available and then at the very bottom

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

00:01:19.479 --> 00:01:25.920
adapter a battery bank or a Nintendo switch dock with the joycon controllers

00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:32.560
attached to the rails located on the side of the console it will weigh just

00:01:28.119 --> 00:01:34.439
398 G internally there is 32 GB of

00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:39.520
internal storage and a portion of that is reserved for the system so you don't

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

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

00:01:45.320 --> 00:01:52.880
far has two SD card slots in it it has a

00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:55.399
4,310 mAh battery and it is not user

00:01:52.880 --> 00:01:59.240
replaceable at all if the battery does need to be replaced Nintendo will offer

00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:03.000
a paid replacement through Nintendo customer supp Port Said battery will

00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:08.879
take 3 hours to charge and will last roughly 3 hours in Zelda breath of the

00:02:05.240 --> 00:02:11.080
wild but is quoted to last over 6 hours

00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:14.160
if software and usage conditions are optimal the switch can be used in

00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:18.040
handheld mode similar to something like a Game Boy tabletop mode if you're away

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

00:02:20.200 --> 00:02:25.920
last but not least TV mode where you would connect the console to the dock

00:02:23.959 --> 00:02:30.080
the docket cell features two USB ports on the side which can be used to charge

00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:34.400
various wireless controllers or support something like an Ethernet over USB

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

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

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

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

00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:55.720
the future now this is purely speculation but considering the dock is

00:02:53.280 --> 00:03:00.000
essentially a nicely stylized USB type-c hub plus a place to hold your switch I

00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:05.640
can see third party options coming around that are just essentially breakout cables essentially you could

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

00:03:08.040 --> 00:03:13.280
out to AC wall power and HDMI out it's

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

00:03:15.040 --> 00:03:20.480
would work and it would be nice and cheap compared to the $90 price tag of

00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:24.959
the Nintendo switch doc the joycon controllers will come in a standard gray

00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:29.799
color or neon blue and neon red they have approximately 20 hours of battery

00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:31.519
life and can charge to full in 3.5 hours

00:03:29.799 --> 00:03:35.680
to charge them you need to rail them onto the side of the switch console

00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:39.280
itself if it's docked they'll just charge up right away and if it's

00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:43.239
undocked they won't charge unless they are specifically at very low battery

00:03:41.519 --> 00:03:46.879
they have HD Rumble for precise vibrations and weigh roughly 50 g each

00:03:45.519 --> 00:03:50.959
with the right side controller having NFC for amiibo support and an IR motion

00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:55.959
camera just in case you want to play like rock paper scissors or something

00:03:53.480 --> 00:04:00.079
also the battery is again not user replaceable and will have to be a paid

00:03:58.239 --> 00:04:04.480
service from Nintendo incl included in the Box are also some joyon straps which

00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:09.239
must be railed into each controller and feature enhanced shoulder buttons there

00:04:06.519 --> 00:04:12.920
is also the option for the joycon grip the one included with the system has no

00:04:10.959 --> 00:04:17.120
specific features other than pass through for the power indicator LEDs on

00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:20.880
the joy-cons it literally just holds them and adds some handles if you want

00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:25.199
to be able to charge them through the grip accessory you need to buy an

00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:29.080
additional grip accessory that supports charging now there has been some

00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:33.440
confusion over how exactly the joy-con controllers connect to the switch itself

00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:38.360
with a lot of the speculation being around Bluetooth this may or may not be

00:04:36.039 --> 00:04:43.520
related but I was pulled up on stage to play Mario Kart 8 Deluxe against some

00:04:40.840 --> 00:04:48.759
other dude I was fairly confident as I've played my fair share of Mario Cart

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

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

00:04:56.479 --> 00:05:02.479
would thus be thrown directly into a wall on the left

00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:06.280
it was frustrating and there was other problems like that now I thought that it

00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:10.240
was just because of this training wheels feature that will help bring you down

00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:14.360
the track I thought that maybe my Pro Mario Kart 8 Deluxe moves were actually

00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:18.720
screwing with the training wheels and resulting in some weird actions and I

00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:22.880
thought I was just above that but no apparently it was just some Wireless

00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:25.479
interference in the actual showroom because of the amount of wireless

00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:28.720
devices and switch consoles that were there they moved me from the other side

00:05:27.080 --> 00:05:34.360
of the stage closer to the switch console and bam everything worked just

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

00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:47.520
but the damage was done the other guy came in third I lost my pride damaged

00:05:45.479 --> 00:05:53.800
but they got me another race a chance to redeem myself they put me on stage

00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:56.720
against a little girl I'll let you watch

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

00:05:58.440 --> 00:06:05.160
here for lack of words you just got humiliated in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe right

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

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

00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:19.840
going to be humiliated again and then you got to carry that into tomorrow so a

00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:25.680
bigger bag yeah see that that both rocks just got bigger they're Boulders okay so

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

00:06:28.280 --> 00:06:35.319
Entertainment Maybe for Luke's humiliation I don't know this is Mario

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

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

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

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

00:06:51.280 --> 00:07:00.599
but it dragged me over the freaking Finish Line at first I thought this was

00:06:56.199 --> 00:07:03.120
momentum and I was rather surprised felt

00:07:00.599 --> 00:07:07.800
horrible how could I have done this then I realized it was that damn training

00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:12.520
wheels feature that I mentioned earlier in an attempt to help me it made me

00:07:10.400 --> 00:07:17.599
continue down the course and over the Finish Line in the single most

00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:24.039
horrifying accidental Victory I have ever achieved ideally I wanted to spend

00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:31.199
the majority of the race in first but then let her win that would have been

00:07:26.280 --> 00:07:33.840
the non horrible thing to do instead I

00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:38.240
came in first this was observed by a large percentage of the people at the

00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:42.919
event and very few understood that it was the training wheels that made me win

00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:47.199
I will forever be known as that guy who got crushed then proceeded to join

00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:52.240
another match against a little girl and beat her at Mario Kart 8 on stage in

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

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

00:07:58.520 --> 00:08:05.240
beat me then this isn't the most powerful piece of technology ever and

00:08:02.599 --> 00:08:08.560
that's a bit of an understatement unfortunately I was unable to play

00:08:06.960 --> 00:08:13.840
breath of the wild but it apparently runs at 30fps but the games that I did

00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:18.479
play like Mario Kart for example did feel very smooth and looked great even

00:08:15.919 --> 00:08:22.479
despite the 720p resolution in handheld mode because of stuff like their art

00:08:20.400 --> 00:08:27.159
style Nintendo consoles aren't something that you buy for their blazing fast

00:08:24.599 --> 00:08:30.879
performance you buy a PC for that the ability to take this everywhere you go

00:08:29.159 --> 00:08:35.120
char ing it off battery Banks if you need to and then coming home and putting

00:08:32.839 --> 00:08:40.200
it on a dock for the same quality but maybe even upgraded to 1080P and playing

00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:44.560
on the couch is a pretty great experience and yeah I agree it should

00:08:42.560 --> 00:08:48.760
have included something in the box like switch sports or something similar to

00:08:46.839 --> 00:08:53.360
Wii Sports and it would have been really cool if they could have included one two

00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:57.800
switch because that game looks hilariously awesome to play with friends

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

00:09:00.800 --> 00:09:07.040
know but it would be fun and I expect that game to go underappreciated because

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

00:09:09.680 --> 00:09:16.240
and reselling pre-orders for nearly twice the price on eBay seems to be

00:09:14.079 --> 00:09:19.360
popular right now so maybe wait a bit before deciding if you're going to buy

00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:25.320
one or not but once they're available again I definitely will although I admit

00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:27.279
I'm a bit of a Nintendo Fanboy a

00:09:25.320 --> 00:09:32.279
high-powered computer and a modern Nintendo console have always been a

00:09:29.680 --> 00:09:37.160
fantastic pair in my opinion and I'm excited for what the future of the

00:09:34.079 --> 00:09:37.160
switch has to offer
