Originally posted by Reggie"Nintendo's approach is to do things differently. We have a much different suite of experiences than our competitors offer, and we do that in a different way. This creates a sort of yin and yang for our consumers. They’re excited about cloud saves and legacy content but wish we might deliver voice chat a different way, for example."What we see is a situation where we know that Nintendo Switch is being played in the open, at a park, on a metro bus. We believe the easiest way for you to connect and have a peer-to-peer experience with voice chat is with your mobile phone. It’s always there, it’s always with you."

Paying the fees of just one game is not cost effective when using tenso so I usually bundle the stuff from several orders together, from amazon to tenso it will cost just it’s listed price of 2982 yen and the amazon shipping is free because the price is over 2000 yen.
Until tenso gets all my stuff and calculates the shipping I won’t know the final cost

You could argue the 2DS is flagship. Muppets.
As someone who has so far not bought a Switch, this is a good reason to hold off. And it that sense great to get such an early heads-up.

Even if I play devil's advocate I find it hard to come to the idea of a major revision, certainly not one where the physical design alters without requiring a whole new line of standard NS incompatibly joycons etc. The physical design largely is what it is.
I suppose they could reduce the bezel (though without fixing the dock I wouldn't want that), they could do an New 3DS power lift but no Nintendo system has even meaningfully used that power either. Clamping down on the security by getting rid of the NVidia caused weaknesses of the current system makes the most sense and none of that necessitates more power - It's selling fine without expensive cost increasing and if anything the opposite design of stripping it to make it cheaper makes more sense - It's expensive kit in a way and it's long term momentum success will depend on getting the hardware down to mass market cost rather than pursuing a high end niche that even MS and Sony have seen limited success from.
Era seems overly fixated on the Pro/X comparison - ignoring that the Slim and S came first and were much more instrumental to sales.

I would be very surprised if it was more powerful, unless it was just along the lines of it being newer hardware that improved the kinds of things DigitalFoundry talk about, but wasn't like the New3DS with exclusive games. Like it would run Xenoblade 2 with less legwork from the adaptive resolution feature.
