With 5 months or so before Nintendo Switch launch, the gaming world teems with questions about this newest console to be unleashing from Nintendo corridor. Let us list some of the most intriguing and interesting questions about this enigmatic console.
Starting with the pricing, Nintendo Switch doesn't have any price tags yet but it doesn't mean that gamers couldn't speculate based on trending. Remember that Nintendo 3DS pegged at $250 when it launched five years ago. Then a year later, Nintendo Wii U launched at slightly higher pricing of $300. Now going into Nintendo Switch era, there are rumors that pricing will lead to somewhere within $350 to $470, given the fact that this console has everything of latest tech packed under its hood.
There is a good discussion over CNet about the possible Nintendo Switch bundle. With its nature of puzzle-like gears that can be detached and reattached to each other, Nintendo can opt for sliding scale gimmick. Meaning, main console can sell for cheaper price, add a bit and you get the monitor, add a bit again and you have, blah blah. Nintendo Switch is unique in a way that it is truly portable console with tons of sister devices that warrants potential sliding scale pricing.
It is also a safe idea that Nintendo Switch will have basic graphics when playing on the go with tablet-like monitor. Then it could boost into better graphics when docked for output to TV, as IGN confirmation stated.
Here is another good point of discussion, how good is Nintendo Switch display? While the company has no answer yet about this topic, gamers could speculate that Nintendo Switch will ride somewhere in 6 to 7 inches display. Its predecessor Nintendo Wii U has 6.2-inch display running at 854x480p resolution. Remember that Nintendo Switch will also have TV output so expect either 720p or 1080p resolution for this new console
