I don't think you own a Switch if you think it'd last less than an hour on battery
no i don't have one, it's too much expensive to afford

Actual buttons > Phone emulators

Yeah it's actually really decent. I got a little over 3 hours on battery with BOTW
I hope I can use this to play my NES cartridges on the Switch when I get it, the Switch is cartridge based after all so that would make sense.
Just gotta find the right pinouts my dude

I don't want to pay extra money just to play a game on a tiny screen with a controller, you can't hold your phone while holding a controller so you have to put your face right up to your phone to be able to see it well. Plus, you need to get a stand to prop up the phone.
With the switch all you need is the console and an emulator.

Xperia Play is not a great example, I think. I had one because the physical buttons were inviting, but god damn was that phone slow. And glitchy.

EDIT: Also that thing is difficult to find anymore.

better than switch, it would probably die in less time XD
phones have good batteries dude

Sorry, but playing touch controls for emulators for a smartphone sucks ass. Physical controls > touch screen controls any day of the week.

Then please don't discredit the Switch before anything homebrew is even released. What if people don't want to play on a 4" screen with crappy controls? Did you ever consider that?
i will tell you a secret... emula ok jk XD
yeah i know about that :3
also when homebrew gets finally released will be much better

So WiiU haves one emulator for each (virtual console) console

Yeah and the emulators from Nintendo aren't even that great or even compatible compared to unofficial (superior) ones. Dark colors, bad aspect ratio/scaling, washed out textures. Only M2 (GBA) and NERD (DS) emulators were good, Nintendo stupidly used linear audio interpolation in some of their N64 games, which was unnecessary.

    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    ack my throat
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I need to invest in some storage totes tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tots?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tootles? Wtf
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Oh tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Oh totes , lol, like Tupperware storage, I gotcha
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'm designing my own entertainment cabinet for my man cave, to store all my systems, then I'm also designing a power supply/HDMI switcher so I can switch to whichever system I want, and power it also. Already picked up the cabinet board, but tinkering with my drawings before start
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But yea, I have frogger arcade cabinet that I gutted and put a Pi4 then Pi5 into, but it never gets played much anymore, should sell it. Even when the kids come over, they don't want to play on it, just the xbox. TMNT and Simpson's arcade is still so fun on it, esp w 2 players.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Gonna check out the new Garfield looks like garbage
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Can't wait to see the new "stick" that can actually play Ps3 or 360 games. I know they are getting close.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @Xdqwerty didn't you see the new garfield?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Ah it's all animated I was hoping for some live action
