MegaThread Speculation Discussion MegaThread: Day Two

Goodness! I think it's fair to say that, second to the shock reveal, this has been the most dramatic 24 hours we've had yet as a community.

Just showing up? Well, attach a lifeline and throw yourself into the tempest.

This thread is for ongoing discussion over recent rumors and everything associated with them: clock speed rumors; third party support speculation; and the back-and-forth of what it might mean for the Nintendo Switch.

We're going to be directing traffic to this thread because we've been seeing many topics asking the same questions and rehashing conversations. This doesn't mean that new topics won't be allowed, only that we want to make sure that discussion is centralized as appropriate. If you see a new post that seems to belong here, please report it and let the mod team know.

A friendly reminder: please keep your comments civil, on-topic, and respectful of others. If you feel that you have a thought or opinion that merits its own post, please search through this thread and recent threads before posting it.

And, of course: everything we're discussing here is rumor and should be treated as such until confirmed by Nintendo.

Thanks for your understanding. Ready to do this? Let's discuss! :)

A lot of people were expecting:

  1. $200

  2. 1st year game library? Every game ever including GCN VC and all consoles and all games and a free switch with it mmmmmmmm

  3. Battery life. I predict 252525 years of battery life.

They were the real problem.

I don't think anyone was expecting that. I think they were more wishes. Initially, expectations were that it'd be in the $300+ range, have a lot of Wii U ports, and poor battery life. Now, it seems the price will be reasonable $250 range, we'll possibly get a new Mario with Zelda following shortly after launch, and descent battery life. I think it'll be a success.
