It requires 3 batteries to power : two for controllers and one for main display (tablet)
It better be AAA battery cuz' replacing li-ion/ li-po battery could be a pain in the ass , these kind of batteries are definitely not cheap and nowhere to be found (You can't buy them at convenience store)
Wireless is good but battery life is always a concern . I rather have a USB controler

No news on backwards compatibility. Don't think there's even a disc drive (you wouldn't get the portable version then). Looks like Wii U games will only run on the Wii U. But... It'd be awesome if they re-released certain Wii U titles (MK8, Super Mario 3D World, and Xenoblade plz). Not a big deal, because the Wii U only had a total of 4 games I was interested in.

Definitely no disc drive.

RE: Nintendo NX - admin89 - 10-21-2016
Don't know if it's the tegra X1 or the X2
![[Image: Tegra-X1-vs-Tegra-K1-710x346.jpg]](http://cdn03.androidauthority.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Tegra-X1-vs-Tegra-K1-710x346.jpg)
As you can see , the X1 is very underpowered . It has the same memory bandwidth as Intel HD 530 (Skylake) : 25.6GB/sec . In fact , it's on par with Intel HD 530 in benchmark (you can find info on notebookcheck.net)
PS4's iGPU is somewhat similar to AMD HD 7870 . The normal version has 176GB/sec memory bandwidth , the pro version has 218GB/sec
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_4_technical_specifications
The NX will beat the PS3 and Xbox360 (21.6 GB/sec ~ 22.4 GB/sec) but the PS4 and Xbox One will kill it for sure
RE: Nintendo NX - Shonumi - 10-21-2016
I, for one, am glad they didn't put joysticks at the top on both sides of the controller (like the Wii U Pro). Either keep 360/Gamecube style (which they just did) or PS/Classic Controller (both on the bottom). I don't know how people can stand it any other way
Also, the convergence is happening. Right now. It starts by blending consoles, tablets, and handhelds. Next, it's your brains. Get ready guys, we're merging!
RE: Nintendo NX - KHg8m3r - 10-21-2016
I'm pretty stoked for the Switch.
I don't see it being 3DS compatible because of screen issues, and because from that teaser trailer, the game carts have 5 connection points, the 3ds has 17 connection points.
Its also possible they're using a custom Nvidia processor, we won't know more until they give us more details.
RE: Nintendo NX - Garteal - 10-21-2016
Eh... nothing for me. I personally don't care one bit about the portability.
If we're to predict the future exclusive library by extrapolating from the Wii U exclusive library, there probably won't be many games that'll make me want to grab one either.
