Re: Nintendo NX Announcement Tonight! (October 20th 2016)
Good:
- The console/tablet has a USB Type-C at the bottom. This means you can use any USB type C charger or power bank with a Type C connection to extend battery life. This is AWESOME for traveling.
- Up to 8(confirm?) consoles can be "linked" for local multiplayer over wifi. Imagine Mario Kart (confirmed wiiu port) or other games!
- Support for SHXC cards to expand the terrible built in storage, it is not like we can expect a hard drive or SSD in a tablet form factor let's be real! Make sure to buy a good quality card, not some random brand card.
- The Joy Cons are surprisingly feature packed!
- $300 USD
Bad:
- Paid online multiplayer..........think xbox live and PS Plus..............
- Have you seen the accessory prices???!!! (extra docks, extra/replacement joy cons, pro controller etc)
Buying extras:
The only extra items you would need to buy are a screen protector (duh! I have one on my phone & tablet), a pro controller because it looks sooooo much comfortable (I have one for my WiiU and it is great, just as good as the PS3/4 controllet), a power bank if you are traveling. Perhaps an extra charger if not included for the joy con "dock".
