Nintendo Switch price and date coming in January
You'll be toasting 2017 before you know how much to save for the Nintendo Switch.
The Nintendo Switch reveal trailer outlined the system's core hook, but left a lot unknown. Now the company has announced when a few of its most pressing questions will be answered. Next year.
The "Nintendo Switch Presentation 2017" will take place on January 12. It will be hosted from Tokyo, and details will include the launch date, price, and a line-up of games in development. Between the event and release date, Nintendo will be hosting hands-on events for media and consumers. As reaffirmed in the reveal trailer, the company is stil targeting a March release.
Nintendo didn't give a specific time for the Switch Presentation 2017, but promised that will be detailed in the coming weeks.
The company is expecting to sell 2 million units of the Switch within its first month. For more details on its financial plans for the coming year, check out our in-depth analysis of its recent financial earnings statement.

The dock lets the tablet run in high-power mode, since it no longer has to rely on the tiny battery.
1. Sorry, the screen has all of the electronics in, no screen-less mode. I suppose they might launch a supercheap no-screen model in a few years, but I wouldn't count on it.
2. Screen play + charge: don't know, perhaps it has a USB port you can also charge from? It seems like a feature they'd have to have.-
So having the screen blocked should be triggering me then :P i wanted to keep the system, docked, standing, fully charged with the most power so i can have the entire thing up and running next to my pc and i can sit back and play it... now i have to undock it and plug it in...then wtf do i need the dock for.
The more i think about the switch, the more i dislike it.-
It has a kickstand, and Ixd guess that there will be an option to power it without the dock. The Wii U tablet power supply cable can be used with the dock or plugged directly into the tablet, so this might too.

So in short you want them to keep 2 different ecosystems. One a handeheld and one a console?
Also, wtf you want to sit at a dock and play games on the screen when the dock is plugged into a TV? I must be misunderstanding what you're saying because that sounds bonkers.
You can likely charge it via some cable while using the screen in bed or what have you, but we won't know anything concrete until January (http://www.shacknews.com/article/97421/nintendo-switch-price-and-date-coming-in-january). -

Cool, man they are cutting it close. The hardware and games must be insane & epic and they are confident as a pimp to leave it to a two month window after basically showing of a new MEGA new product to be launched in March 2017.
Or crazy... I will go with EPIC and I am hyped. Please be good!

If only they can confirm any backward compatibility, I'm still on the edge of selling my wii u for this
-
Going from nvidia to ati and x86 to PowerPC made emulation basically poop on 360. I wouldn't count on a reliable wii u emu
-
What would be cool is if you could stream it from an existing Wii-U on your network. Easy get around for Backwards Compatibility and may lend a new life to the Wii-U.

Agreed. Except I have my PS4 , Xbox One, and Wii U collecting dust while I play on my PC with gtx 1080. I think I need to stop buying consoles lol.
-
Yea, PC + Nintendo console was always my go-to. Just built a PC with a 1080 that destroys any game I throw at it. There's just too much overlap between PC and PS4/XBox One to make it worth it and the exclusives on either console don't appeal to me as much as Nintendo's (which is less of an issue with the XBox Play Anywhere stuff anyway). Persona 5 is the only reason i'm getting a PS4.
