so Nintendo switch finally floor reviewable price and everything a couple days ago they had a hands-on event I couldn't go I was stuck back here but you guys got to try it so tell me what was like it was amazing hi my life will never be the same I've transcended the immortal universe and I've tried to switch now final answer no it's alright the switch was interesting I think hardware wise it's nice I thought like the joy Kong controllers are really impressive that's something that dizzy jumped out to me it how comfortable they were interesting how well they came on and off because that was my biggest fear honestly looking at them nah man because I mean look have you ever used like a regular-sized 3d s of smaller ones yes those are the current okay to be fair I didn't find those I'll actually like the regulatory yes really the XL yeah but even with that said I mean use like an NES right like you know like the rough size because it's eerily similar to that it's not bad look I'm sure I'm not going to play Mario Kart with like a bunch of buttons for like eight hours but the joys on by itself is fine but specifically what really impressed me was knowing how easy they are to take off and put back on but having the joy con separated right yeah so with the idea of like remember like with the Wii Remote and stuff you would have that in a nunchuck and it was kind of a little goofy and weird a little weird especially give the cable putting together exactly with the joy cons you can have them both separate so having them together either on the the console having them with the grip controller or having them separate there's no difference you have the exact same buttons throughout I did be able to gain here game here or game with your arms behind your back you can do whatever so super comfortably comfortable comfortable with me I think what English I know I residual its gory and it's great because it's it's like it's not only comfortable but it's all cohesive and the same no matter where it is yes so yeah like it's cool um the actual hardware stuff is nice the screen looks nice I know everyone's complain like oh it's like 720p it's fine it's a small raylene it'll shine what it'll look sharp no matter what like you like when playing splatoon and Zelda and it looked absolutely fine there's no pub and it's funny going between the small 6 inch screen 6.3 or whatever it is yeah on the tablet you drop it on to the dock which is incredibly fat - that's literally the second layer you drop it on take it off super fast but then you look at like how nice it looks on the screen all setting it blows up to the giant you know KPTV in front of your like alright this looks ok but as soon as you get on that tablet yeah everything looks great yeah because I mean a smaller screen they're just there's not as much for the loser exactly yeah so honestly using the switch was fun I thought there's a lot of good stuff about it yeah I think the hardware itself feels good the joints on controllers are by far my favorite part of the whole thing which is not what I expected to say at all while going into there well I honestly I think that's the systems like strongest argument really is like its base design you know the idea of this easily switch being portable and home set up that's a very easy so a lot of people I think yeah it's just everything else needs to come out to them you know actually games good pricing and something else that jumped out to me is how portable it really is so you see the pictures everything and you kind of assume at least I did that it's going to be bigger than was yeah with the controllers on it's a little bit big what's it's controllers off it's not much bigger than a smartphone yeah but wait so the exercisable when you take with you well it is solo thinner but I mean it's the same like know that in Hamlet the tablet is basically or sorry roughly the same size as a 3dsxl mm anyway run a little a little bit of thinner and maybe a little bit more bezel but it's not that big at all it felt like a large smartphone right if you take the controllers off I mean so I put my seven plus up to it while we were playing around with a it wasn't a much bigger look I'm not going to say that I'm going to walk with switch my pocket all the time every idea especially with the controllers I throw at those ad jeans but thanks what you should do it I feel like I could fit the switch in my pocket with that and like maybe put the controllers in another pocket the portability was a lot better than I was expecting it's a lot smaller than even like a 7-inch tablet is right so that was one of the things that also kind of yeah and and to that point though the controllers I know some people are worried because they think that they're too small no and honestly I don't really think that's because I mean granted you know I like to say guys normal sized hands I'm going to have well and then so when I think about the comfort of them in the small size I'm not so worried about when you're holding both of them and it's like sideways thing with most it's the side west side of the actual yeah because you're bunching up so like have on the the shoulders and the what does that feel but that's what I worry what someone told me at the event I don't know if it was one of the guys that you know we were with or if it was one of things where I was getting b-roll on my own but he was telling me that the asymmetrical controllers are so people with big hands can use one and components and use the other and it works better for you know or one of them works better for let's chase but that they are not the same does not know is they're not as doing if they have the same button there's not anything I have seen but it's just a defacing the different yeah yeah my thought is so for some of the games for example arms was a good example of one where you hold each one individually when you're holding them individually like in sort of vertical mode like you would on any other controller they're fine I feel like I could do that all day it's only when you flip them sideways does it get a little weird but honestly for that it seems like much more of a casual experience like I'm gonna play a couple games from Mario Kart yeah even even with the worsen for wherever I'm not gonna get a cramp after 10 minutes right right yeah the whole point of that too is that you do the sine is one way into want to do a local game with them right exactly so it'll to play it doesn't seem like I'm going to put eight hours into a game with one joke on foot sideways like that just doesn't seem like I think you have never had drinks with playing Street Fighter before okay fair point so I have two very different minds on it there's the personal side of me that honestly is excited you know I I saw a lot of the games that were announced it's more my speed a lot of stuff I mean that conference is very focused on Japanese titles guarantee so you know also if I'm excited for Xenoblade to fire by our warriors awesome also path traveler I really really want to try SMT five huge fans great so that'll looks good to me and I'm excited personally like personally hyped but then when I look at all the other news surrounding it I can see why for most people it's a huge term and the biggest thing is pricing across the board I think yeah alright so I don't have it for you to expand on that because I don't think the pricing is that bad now mind you the UK parking is crazy okay so it's crazy so here's why the presence bent of what 300 is okay that's a great I think 300 is okay I thank you 50 would have been smarter for being like really aggressive yeah you need to be a like strong alternative in the u.s. 300 the same price of getting an Xbox one or ps4 so we're not you close enough so point is the switch pricing is fair but not incredibly I problem comes across it everywhere else first off they're asking for a monthly fee which is it's acceptable these days it's just for I was going but all they're bundling with is here's a free NES or SNES game you get to have for the month and then it disappears so that's a great sales pitch and then do you know the pricing on the controllers and accessories yes okay so okay joy right the the one oh joy Khan controller now yes one joy Khan is enough for one additional player right what was included so you can take it right off horses right but if you're buying a separate additional joy launcher one joy come by it sells $50 if you want a get a to bundle wait wait wait they sell them individually individually yes no one joy Khan controller it's 50 bucks yeah there's two and there's they're two different ones actually okay so now obviously if you want people that have full control with to compare two icons you can get a bundle let's you know we're just right $80 now of course that's just if you want to use the two handles if you want to be able to put it in a container river and a grip that will be an additional $15 so that means $95 $95 feel full but that's not even the real thing because isn't there two different grips yes they're called grips right there yeah there are two Democrats there is a charge grip in a rage charger yeah so the regular grips 15 and that's what you get in the system I don't know the pricing on the charge no there is a charge one we haven't read all of them come with the system yeah okay because someone someone was complaining about the fact that it doesn't the the regular grip obviously doesn't charge in it so if it runs out of battery your only way to charge it is I put it back on the comment on that note I was reading that worried too but I also found something out now I've only seen this reported in an IGN video and it wasn't intended of saying this but I haven't seen it anywhere else that the reported battery life of the joy Khan is 20 hours yeah so unless you're just extremely negligent and you're not the kind of you just want you fall asleep and throw the droidcon to the ground I don't like you has a system backup yeah seeing it like you're never going to end up needing to really charge those in the day unless you're just not and we're safe scenarios they're about to die you put them on and you play in tablet mode and they will be charging even off of the internal battery so yeah you definitely plugged in there my really I'll give you that update only charges won't plug it the drivers don't charge oh really yeah we started them if it's actively plugged into it I guess that's where the battery light is not great and yeah you don't want to siphon it i yeah little bit this capacity like my but that just you know it puts you in an awkward situation if you're in the middle of gameplay like say you're playing Zelda and you know you're just going on forever right or you know you go to bed but you forget to put it back on or something like that you know you're in the middle of the game and suddenly runs at a battery it's like you're in this awkward situation of alright what am I going to do now you have to literally stop playing put them on the joy con and charge them for like whatever an hour I guess I just doesn't seem like a big deal ya know I got a big deal me personally that's not the problem I am my problem is the price so we've talked general thoughts on the system we've talked about you know pricing and how comfortable controllers are but then of course the main point for any game system is games so would you guys play some results on it that stuff was fun yes so they had actually a lot of the game yeah all the launch games and most of the games are coming out that you're out so I got to play splatoon too I didn't play a ton of splatoon one but it seems very very similar they're like new weapons and some new characters but seems similar i like split them so did you know shin control civil yet so that's the thing so all the demos on the side where it was just tablet were all gyro long and that's that's just um you know a me gyro not moving gyro right but it still with a little bit hard to wrap my head around but i and I was told that obviously you can change it I just you know they just love demoing in gyro yeah right I just did movie cuz I just kept my hands there and just like you suspect yes the ideal situations that you'd use the the pro controller and so that was those the other half of the setups that I don't think any of us play but I mean the fact that you have those options and it played really well in tablet mode and it looks really nice it looked you know sharpen up on that 720p display like I was really happy with it and it felt like spooky light which I love if you played splatoon before you know already and if not then it could be a title for you to try online for the switch right for sure yep yeah so then you only played that and Skylanders we can we can drive out oh please let's talk about carry on we're gonna we're going to create another final and Zelda so I can result it yes so it was I believe is the same e3 demo it's the very beginning you have a different hardware did you play as 83 I did not okay my dress there's no comparison the experience between them damn well everyone who I talked to said it was a very similar experience from the videos I've seen it looked very similar to what I've tried on Twitter I know some people said it's like technically a little bit different but it seems similar isn't there like any huge differences it was fun right so I got to do like the intro sequence you get kind of walk around you get like to lighten things on fire and everything right it was cool um I did notice there were some technical slow down for not amazing I was curious for that because that was happening with the Wii U version of e3 as well so I was hoping that with the switch version now give it it's still pre-release and so that can change hola we were saying line for about 30 minutes so I was watching someone else play and then I played for about 20 minutes I saw two major framerate dips in the entire time mi Joos is to really saw I'm not people worried it was like you know during like really intense hopefully yeah oceans you know and all that to note though a lot of the ones that I noticed were on the TV mode entertaining oh so I'm not sure how it will perform in 720 I would assume that it might be better yeah obviously there's no way for me to tell if I can't you know go back at ya got second but you know I'm beginning to see a supreme release so they could fix that stuff they could maybe dial things back a bit who knows what they're going to do but otherwise it looks really good yeah they both for the most part and what I really enjoyed was aren't so what I'm looking at like who's gonna be gimmicky it's gonna be lame who cares that plays it's like oh this is kind of fun it that and wantonness which both gave me a very strong original Wii box right which is cool because like oh look this seems legitimately different and cool so the way that arms works is so you have the two controllers like in the hand you'll have your like yeah they have to be freeform over exactly so what you do is you literally do everything on all your motion is based on this is this is your motion here is the way you get into I didn't know that's how you bought me guys like know so you like use your motion control so you will actually walk and stuff I mean you do your punches so it's like straight punches curved punches and there are a couple of buttons on the actual joy constant cells like blocking light house ride it was a lot of fun way more fun that I thought is interesting so lot of us which I've wrapped in hands-on short of Sutton's you can give me not till we sold yet excited for potential thank you they're doing a surgeon tear down sweet yeah
