Sicuramente in molti si staranno domandando quali saranno le peculiarità hardware di Nintendo Switch. Avrà uno schermo touch screen? Quale sarà il prezzo di vendita? La batteria in versione portatile quanto potrà mai durare?
A queste domande c’è una risposta assolutamente basata su diversi rumor messi in scena da Laura Kate Dale che ha affermato come Nintendo Switch sarà dotato di uno schermo multi-touch in base alle dichiarazioni fatte da chi sta lavorando sulla console. Sembra, inoltre, che la batteria della console permetterà di giocare per tre ore consecutive.
Ecco quanto riportato dal suo articolo:
This information again came from sources A (Nintendo), B (Ubisoft) and D (Manufacturing). None could confirm whether the dock is a PlayStation VR-style processing box which helps power higher resolution play when docked, or if docking the console simply allows the handheld to overclock and provides better performance that way. All sources claim the hardware has an easier time running docked compared to when out and about as a portable.
Many on Twitter have drawn my attention to this interview with IGN where Nintendo state that “The dock is not the main console unit of Nintendo Switch… The main function of the Nintendo Switch Dock is to provide an output to the TV, as well as charging and providing power to the system.”
To that, I reply that they repeatedly use the words “main function” and “Main Console” here which still leaves a lot of room for clarity. I believe these statements were aimed at clarifying the Switch was not another Wii U style console rather than saying the dock won’t in any way alter game performance. You can’t play the dock without the handheld, but that doesn’t mean the dock won’t improve game performance.
