The Joy Cons only charge when attached to the Switch itself, or when attached to one of the Charging peripherals they’ve already announced: the Charging Grip or the Charging Dock. Doesn’t seem like there is any way to attach a cable to the Joy Con at all.

I think there’s a pretty good chance they will provide cloud save functionality down the road.

Most of this doesn’t bother me....except the bit about the touch screen. I’m on board with you there. I mean, they have a perfect set up here to be able to port Wii U games, and have them fully functional the way the Wii U used the touch screen and the TV at the same time. So, basically, ANY Wii U game that required…

I feel the same way about Blizzard though. I loved the Starcraft and Warcraft series. But for me, MMOs and FPS are not exactly my cup of tea. So Blizzard’s focus on Overwatch and World of Warcraft the last several years leaves me saying “meh” most of the time they make announcements lately. Not every company can…

I pre-ordered mine in person at a GameStop store. They had a flyer that sounds similar to what you’re saying. But these flyers had the individual price for each item. It kind of looked like a ‘bundle’ from the pictures on the flyer, but it seemed pretty clear to me that it was more like a suggestion of what stuff to…

This is ridiculous. You sound like a petulant child. The purpose of journalists is not to report every single rumor. Do you report on the toppings ordered on pizza that’s delivered to the white house? Because I’m certain that IS HAPPENING on a frequent basis there.
A journalists purpose is to expose the truth. Any one…

Without too much of a spoiler, how does it relate to the over-arching story of Ico and Shadow of the Colossus? Hard to tell from any of the details so far. Is it a ‘spiritual’ successor like Shadow was supposed to be, or does it tie in more closely?

The touchscreen issue is easily dealt with, I think.

Can’t work that way. The video shows the guy on the plane using the controls independently from the main unit. Most likely scenario is that the controllers have their own internal, non-replaceable battery packs. When connected to the tablet, they will still run off their own power, so as to not drain the tablet power…

I agree with this reasoning for the lack of a touch screen. I also think this is why it will likely not work with the Wii-style motion controls any more either, which disappoints me. Motion control was one of the innovative things that continued to set them apart from the other consoles. In the home environment, the…

Options for portable power banks or a 12V car adapter for on the go charging. Make it like any other phone/tablet device, and they’ll be golden.

Discovered one while travelling this week: Using the new Maps updates, is generally really awesome. Especially the ability to look up Food places that are en route ahead of you. However, it insists on offering ‘Breakfast’ until 11:59 am. When you already ate Breakfast at 7am, and kind of want to look for lunch around…

If they remove the tedious nature of things altogether, then you have a game that is too easy, and everyone immediately gets to the highest light level. Then Light becomes irrelevant. It’s a delicate balance, and I certainly don’t envy those at Bungie who have to make the decisions on how to deal with this stuff.

That’s…

4K does not equal HDR, which is something I only recently learned in researching the purchase of my new TV. And even the ‘HDR’ tag on a TV, does not necessarily mean it is ‘full’ HDR10 compatabile. It’s kind of a mess right now. It’s similar to when ‘HDTV’ first was a thing, but you had to check close whether your TV…

Re-playing the Prime series on my Wii when I bought the tin-case Trilogy edition...it was like the games were always made to be played on the Wii. The first 2 were phenomenal on the GameCube anyway, but I loved playing through all of them again with the Wiimote and the fluid control scheme.

This same issue existed with brands/dealerships not used to any particular type of car. Take the Saturn brand, for instance, when their ION and SKY Redline models came out between 2004 and 2007. Those dealerships had been so used to selling daily drivers and granny cars, that they had NO ONE who had a clue about the…

Here here!! This was probably the one thing I really didn't like about iOS7! Awesome!

The video of putting the helmet on is really the exact same thing they did with Republic Commando, just with a different helmet, and slightly better graphics.

I think one of the issues is that JRPGs typically take more time to play through than many other types of games. 50-60 hours is not uncommon. By comparison, most Triple-A console titles any more are no more than the 20-25 range. That said, this is one of the reasons I do love JRPGs, because I feel like I really get my…

Ugh....March is already like the busiest month of the year for me with just other Real Life stuff going on. I haven't even been able to get through Dead Space 3 yet. Looking like it'll be March 2014 before I make it through all of the titles I want to play from this coming month. Not to mention the 4-5 from last fall…
