Nintendo Switch: More about the Console

 The 6.2" multi-touch capacitive screen on the tablet is a decent size to allow for portability yet not too small to comfortably share while playing with a friend, and it appears to be a reasonable thickness so I hope it is as durable as my 3DS XL has proven to be so far. The tablet also features 2 speakers at the bottom and a 3.5mm headphone jack at the top.

  With 32GB internal memory and the ability to expand it by another 256GB with a Micro SDxc Card I hope that it will be enough. I can see downloading games ripping through the 32GB very quickly and 256GB won't go far either. I wonder, how easy it is to switch memory cards in and out. If it is as simple as powering down and swapping cards the memory issue really doesn't exist because carrying a few 256GB cards around is no worse to me than carrying a few game cartridges. 256GB cards can still be rather expensive, but from a quick search, a 200GB card is more than half the cost so if switching in and out is easy, I'd probably grab a couple of those instead. I don't understand though, why when Playstation and Xbox consoles have 500+ Gigs of space, Nintendo chose to go so small. It isn't like they used a proprietary memory system like the PS Vita and were just after MORE of our money so what gives? For now I'm choosing to remain optimistic about this and hope that the games don't absolutely rip though memory. 

    One thing Nintendo really hasn't given any solid information about is the actual hardware inside of the Switch. We now that they used an Nvidia Tegra Processor but that is about all. I wish we knew more specs surrounding it, things like RAM and better processor details. I suppose we will just have to wait and see. I am hoping that we'll find out that part of the cost is justified by decent inner workings.
