Nintendo Switch New Model Boosts Performance Slightly, Screen Quality Inconsistent Looks like the only real advantage to the new Switch is battery life. However, if you do upgrade, it looks like there are problems with screen colour calibration on the new units.

http://www.ign.com/articles/2018/08/20/grandia-and-grandia-ii-coming-to-switch-in-hd-remaster It's about fuggin' time we got an HD remaster of series that needed/deserved an HD remaster. While I really wish they'd get off of the Japanese circle-jerk and bring it to my Xbox, at least I'll have something to play on my Switch that I didn't already own on Wii U. Can't wait to see that premium Nintendo MSRP!

There's a new kickstarter for a "covert" portable dock for the Switch that I think looks pretty cool. It's basically a wall plug with a 30W USB-C PD charging port and a USB 3.1 port, but it also has a HDMI cable for plugging your switch into a TV. Interestingly, it's GaN based, which doesn't really mean anything for it's capabilities so much as it allows for it's smaller size. They claim they've made sure it won't fry your Switch, but I'd be afraid to be the first guy to try it. Also kinda nifty is that the HDMI port supports USB-C's Display Port alternate mode, so if you plug in a laptop to the charger, you can use the HDMI port and the USB 3.1 port with your computer. All the standard kickstarter warnings apply. These guys have previously made a bluetooth adapter for the Switch, so at least they have some kind of track record.

Here’s why Nintendo Switch consoles keep frying

Somehow, it's still called a Switch even though you can't play docked.

Hello to the dozen of us left... Anyways since the 3DS has cooled off a lot for most I though I would jump start the community thread again like we use to have on the handheld boards for those of us who wish to talk about 3DS stuff that might not warrant a full topic of it's own. There is still some decent life left in the 3DS with still a few notable titles on the way (Luigi's Mansion, Etrian Odyssey Nexus and Persona Q2). @GameDadGrant @CastlevaniaNut18 So anyways to kick off the thread, I would like to celebrate with showing off my 37th 3DS/1st n2DS.... It's amazing to look at in person. I was talking to GameDadGrant over PM about it since he also got one and we use to talk about n2ds LE in the old thread. Normally I don't open these but I couldn't help my self with this one.

Is this the faster Nvidia Tegra that was rumored?

15 yr old Bocchi takes down a well known Smash player Ally at a tournament using a low tier character. Cue the dregs bullying her because shes a "gamer girl" and “it’s not harassment, she just couldn’t handle the bullying” and my favorite is Vid of the Win with a very nice pop off at then end

Anybody tried out the second free demo? I am really excited about this game. Love the art style and the gameplay is solid. I’m sold on turn based RPG’s. Will be picking up some eShop point cards soon so I can get this pre-odered and loaded onto my SWITCH. @GameDadGrant @CastlevaniaNut18 @JosephManderley @Bacon @Comet @Haines

Just remember the PR that console sales don't matter.

Modder Builds The Only Smash Controller You'll Ever Need

Now bring it to the 3DS, wusses.
