Would you be ready for a “modern day” Zelda title?

This pic got us thinking about what it would be like to have a Zelda game set in modern times. These concepts show what that could have looked like. While these were by no means production ready, it begs the question, would you want Link to step outside of his high fantasy setting?

Switch’d at birth: Left Joy-con and Left Shark

Joy-con destroyed: Look at the insides!

Here is what the inside of a Joy-con looks like. Most of the space seems to be the battery. Sweet look at a different angle of the Switch

The Switch was made by a mix of handheld and console designers

This video from IGN shows off some of how the Switch came to be. A really interesting look at the console.

RIVE is coming to Nintendo Switch

Two Tribes announced that RIVE, a twin-sticker shooter for the PS4 and PC, is jumping to Nintendo Switch. Here’s the game in motion. It’s tough and good.

"Given my track record...I've worked on handheld titles, but I've also worked on console games. So the fact that Switch is both at the same time is really fascinating to me. I'm really interested in coming up with ideas and how to capitalize on that technology and how to create the best experience possible on the technology.

Switch has access to 25% performance boost in mobile

There’s a new story from Digital Foundry and Eurogamer out. You should hit the source and read it. The gist is that devs have access to a roughly 25% boost in Switch performance when the console moves to portable mode.

From sleep to gameplay in less than 10 seconds

Best Switch feature nobody's mentioning is the great sleep suspend even in console mode. Less than 10 seconds from power on to gameplay pic.twitter.com/1VxAeoQtyQ

What Twitter is saying about the Switch

Of course, the Switch will look way different in a year. Has a ton of potential. Just know that right now, the system feels skimpy.

Feels a bit weird controlling games on the TV with Joy-Cons, like using a Vita to play PS4 games. Works better as a handheld in that regard.

— Chris Schilling (@schillingc) February 23, 2017

We'll see how severe the left Joy-Con connection issues are come launch, but I think back to my Xbox dropping connections & break into tears

— Tyler Ohlew (@tylerohlew) February 23, 2017

Sounds like #NintendoSwitch has loads of potential, just coming in super hot. Lacking at launch? Maybe, but it'll look VERY diff in a year

Of course someone measured how hot the Nintendo Switch runs

throwmeawaywouldyoukindly on imgur put together a gallery of images captured during a Nintendo Switch hands-on event. They used an infrared camera to discern the temp of the unit as it runs.

Above is Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, but there are more at the source. Wild stuff.

Oh, and it doesn’t run too hot. So, there ya go.
