 I never went to the nintendo portables, so I was shockingly oblivious
about these. I define v2 as both "set of games you can play on it is identical
to the first one", and "not a retro notalgia remake". But even by that
standard, wikipedia tells me you gave a lot of good examples. I can only hope
the switch makes the list, because I'm not interested in spending significant
game time with a handheld tablet, but I also need enough distance to flirt
with their limitations.

Just got mine. Charged and used. This thing is such a joy to use. I'll
probably play with it more in mobile mode. It feels good to hold it. And yes
it's underpowered on the spec sheet but at the same time, it works really
well. And I'm having a lot of fun with it so for me that's the main thing
really :D.

I don't understand the negativity based on technical performance. The thing is
supposed to be fun to play, not bring you closer to the limits of what modern
technology can achieve. Nintendo has some extremely fun games that I'd rather
play very much before an extremely high performance super high HD game that
ultimately falls flat.

Much of the negativity is related to the fact that the launch game itself does
not play well when docked.

And this seems unjustifiable given how well the same chipset does in the
NVIDIA Shield, which is capable of driving 4k games just fine.

I was not aware of that. Which is strange since I read more than 10 reviews,
surely they would have noticed? is this your experience? All I heard was that
it runs smoother than in the Wii-U even though it is not optimized for the
Switch.
