jehurey 3,318 Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 It definitely seems out of impulse buying range. And my real concern is that they will receive a whole bunch of feedback, and they will go any significantly improve the device, thus leaving launch buyers with an inferior product.

They are making a handheld, they've been showing off prototypes to some game journalists for about a couple of years already. Its cool that they got the Obra Dinn developer making a game. I feel like this thing needs a couple of more buttons, and touch screen capability. Link to post Share on other sites

Twinblade★ 4,200 Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Wait can this thing only do monochrome 16 bit style games? Thats kind of lame, every game pretty much has almost the same exact art style. Link to post Share on other sites

Thats kind of lame, every game pretty much has almost the same exact art style. it is a monochrome screen, but it can clearly render things that are somewhat close to graphics you see in indie games. So it could probably do some 3D capability, but it displays in monochrome. Link to post Share on other sites

I don't understand why they couldn't just design it to support some of the colors you'd see in older games. Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. House 3,371 Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I was expecting better graphics out of the Switch Pro but at least it's a small improvement over the base model. Link to post Share on other sites
